A little off topic, but listened to songs of innocence in a really long time. And to my suprise i enjoyed it a lot. The record is bashed a lot and in the end you start to believe all of it. If you delete song for some one and Joey Ramone it would be in classic territory.

Is there nobody around there to see if there's activity there or...
I still like it after a couple days. Thats a good sign, because most of their songs since 2000 started to get boring or irritating after a couple of days. Could it be better? Ofcourse! The outro is a bit boring(it gets better with every listen tough) and the 'special fx guitar' could be a bit...
