There's always MiniEdge. He won't let you down.
That's Lanois' style, the atmospheric ideas came from him mostly it seems because for me they lost something when ENO/Lanois quit. Listen to Peter Gabriel's "So". The same vibe.What I really miss from U2 these days (aside from notable guitar work) is Edge's unique backing vocals. They crop up here and there (Red Flag Daaay) but there was a time when most their songs were just drenched in those atmospheric ghostly drones. I was listening to Zooropa again recently and I just love his contributions vocally throughout that album. The Wanderer, with all it's 'aaaahhhhh' 'oooooohhhh' is just sublime.
I’m pretty sure I’m in the minority here but I loved Window in the Sky, it was just a fun song and wished it were on HTDAAB.
Phew, finally I've met the other person who likes Window. I thought it was a cracking pop song and very underrated/trashed on here.
Ahimsa is ok, its definitely a grower and I like that they resist the urge to go "full-U2" and keep it a bit more low key and try something different.
Edge just tours and cashes checks at this point. Considering he was long my favorite element of the band's sound, performances like the one on this new track and so much of SOE leaves me with little to enjoy as a fan.
I like Windows in the sky too. And the new single is fine with me!

I like window in the skies , top 5 single in the uk I’m sure it was.
Great video for it Aswell
Face it....U2 are washed up and have been the last 10 years or so. They should've quit with some dignity.

The more I listen to this song (and I have a lot) the more I like it. Yes, it's standard 'late period' U2, but it's a perfect example of the music they're making right now. The chorus is really growing on me, simple, but beautiful.
Ordinary Love has some awful lyrics and a perfect example of Bono stuffing too many syllables in the lines of the verses. It has more energy but that doesn’t matter to me when these other issues are there.
As far as post-2000 non-album singles go, I’ll take Ahimsa over that, the overcooked Beatles wankery of Window in the Sky, and the Oasis wankery of Electrical Storm (any version).
It’s a far cry from Invisible or The Ground Beneath Her Feet, though.

And black people, ugh, am I right?
So you are likely referencing/mocking a previous post from someone that I missed but reading your response and then seeing you jolt and end with that last line...LOL
I’m guessing someone went on a nonsensical rant about black people?
We had a racist, homophobic Trump supporter enthusiastically troll FYM one night, possibly while drunk.
It was funny for a bit.
Anybody else listen to the remix EP ?Best Thing is the only decent remix of the 4. Love is Bigger remix is just two minutes. The Pride and Beautiful Day mixes are also meh....
