Well,

It sounds nearly finished, but lacking the dynamics of the final version. Bono sings it a bit like he's "soundchecking" or memorizing his lyrics. The final vocal is more deep/subtle to me. Have to say that for me so far Zoo Station is the most interesting alternate take, since the chorus is so different/early U2 like.
 
I guess the baby Fly has the vocal take from the Lounge Fly version?

I think it's similar. I didn't care for it at the beginning, but by the end of the song, I really liked it.

"Baby" Tryin' To Throw Your Arms Around The World...sounds like Bono was sitting in a bar with a couple acoustic guitars, Edge, and Eno and Lanois and they just started singing whatever came to their heads. I like it :D
 
"If you wanna turn her on, just say how you feel" Mysterious Ways haha! Now I know where "Fear of women" came from as a working title for AB, it's used more than once in MW.

I really like the stuff Bono whispers..."fear of failure, fear of winning, Fear of God, fear of women." That's awesome.

I;m liking "Baby" Ultraviolet. The guitar is a lot different than the album version. A lot louder, a lot grittier. Sounds cool.
 
I see people got over talking about the covers CD pretty quickly. What did that last, 24 hours? :)

lol, funny how that goes. i still plan on spinning the NIN and Jack White versions quite often as well as the new EBTTRT remix on the covers album.
 
The different lyrics on the "Baby" songs are really cool. In fact, I wish they had kept some of them in the final songs. :drool:
 
Does anyone here have the actual box in hand, or is everyone just listening to torrents? There were those photos that someone put up on Picasa of the opened box set, so I guess it's "out there" somewhere. What are the liner notes like? Do we get track-by-track commentary by the Edge again? Are there essays by Eno, Lanois, etc. like with the UF and JT box sets?

I've got the actual CD's 'in-hand'. I haven't had time to listen to them yet as a relative of mine was rushed to hospital today and I've only just got in. Am going to listen later though. I also got the Q Magazine CD today too. An evening of maximum U2ness awaits.

I can't believe all those people who asked me to rip and upload the CD's:hmm:

Someone asked where I got mine from...3 Uber sets and 1 Super Deluxe all ordered from Tesco but delivered from The Hut? Strange, but then I have heard that Tesco do use The Hut.

I've sold 3 Uber sets for £255 x 2 and £275 x 1, the same prices I paid. These are being despatched to buyers tomorrow and they will have them Friday. I decided to just hang onto the Super Deluxe set.
 
This is not a thread to request links. This thread is to discuss the album's reissue.

Please go to the thread in "Music On The Internet".
 
Ugh.

Or perhaps we can have just one day where someone doesn't come on here with personal insults (like calling someone an idiot). There are ways to make your point without calling this person names.

The thread seemed to be going just fine until you decided to just drop that in there.

I didn't call anyone names. I alerted those reading this thread that there's a specific forum for MP3/music requests. It was a first notification that there's a more suitable place for those kind of requests. Now, if people don't read and keep on acting like that... :wink:

And oh, the thread hasn't been fine for a long time.
 
you guys make me sick because i've been stuck at work all day while you're all enjoying this. :wink:

the only preview i got was the new Heaven and Hell through my cell phone's external speaker. :angry:

from what i've read i think i'll start with the Kindergarten disc because that's what's really blowing everyone away. :hyper:
