I don't think I'm joining in the listening party. I'm halfway through MOS, and I don't feel like starting over for the second time.

 

[coolian2]

we're ready to go, btw.

 

[Axver]

should we mayhaps co-ordinate when we start on aim?

Shall we set an actual time at which we'll all hit play? 40 past the hour? It's 33 past by me right now.

 

[coolian2]

aw mel

fair enough, i guess.

how about 35?

 

[Gluey]

Ian, I just have to throw this in here before I go: I admit that I'm jealous of you and Khan right now! I wish I had a fan-boyfriend to share this with right now

We need a stand in fan boyfriend for Charlotte!! STAT!!!! Ax? You're alone at the moment...you'll do!


I'm pumping it while I cook dinner on the BBQ....

 

[Gluey]

Shit, she's gone....hold that thought...

 

[the tourist]

Let's see how this sounds being stuffed up.

 

[Axver]

We're all out of co-ordination. Shall we all just listen, post our thoughts, and see how it works out? I mean, some of us will be up to different parts, but we can still all discuss it, and the comments about songs to come should get those of you who are behind more amped up to hear them. Sure worked for me when gorman was giving his commentary anyway.

 

[LemonMelon]

Ah, what the fuck. I don't mind hearing Magnificent again if you guys don't.

 

[coolian2]

ok ok ok ok.

hold on everyone.

 

[Axver]

how about 35?

Let's do this thing, Kheen.

 

[coolian2]

i'm starting in 60 seconds, fyi.

 

[coolian2]

or now. now's good.

 

[Axver]

I just started the title track.

Hellz yeah.

OK, when you put it that way, I'll stay where I am on the album.

Edge slide solos FTW.

 

[the tourist]

just started

 

[LemonMelon]

Bono sounds so passionate throughout this album, the title track in particular.

And then she put her tongue in my ear...ooaahahahahhooooooooo

 

[Axver]

Love the extra stuff in the mix of NLOTH I. I still think I'm favouring NLOTH II at this point, but NLOTH I definitely does a damn good job and announces the album in a big way.

 

[the tourist]

Okay. Well. I like NLOTH II a bit better than the album version. Though this isn't bad.

 

[coolian2]

nloth is quality. chorus feels better defined than the alt version, anyway.

 

[LemonMelon]

NLOTH I >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> NLOTH II

It's not even close. I mean, shit, you can't even understand half of what Bono says on II. It's pretty clear that the track wasn't meant to be played at that speed. It's just fantastic on the album.

 

[the tourist]

love that guitar at the end.... the warbly one.

 

[Axver]

Fucking love the intro of Magnificent. That's the stuff I like to hear.

Then the song just takes flight.

 

[Axver]

I mean, shit, you can't even understand half of what Bono says on II.

As a proud member of the EPAA Appreciation Club, I consider this a good thing.

 

[the tourist]

The beginning of Magnificent makes me feel like I'm listening to Pop. Only the mixing isn't as shitty as 90s U2. Which is good.

 

[LemonMelon]

As a proud member of the EPAA Appreciation Club, I consider this a good thing.

I didn't mean that as a good thing or a bad thing. It's just clear that the lyrics were meant for a slower tempo.

 

[LemonMelon]

Crazy Tonight is really by-the-numbers, but it's very solidly written. It's not awful by any means.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

nloth 2 > nloth 1

magnificent is shaping up to be a fantastic track.

 

[coolian2]

i'm going to have to listen to the two nloths side by side, but i think the original edges the alternate version atm
