Great album. Arguably the best album released in 2000. I listen to it far more than I listen to ATYCLB, but I listen to Mercy more than Kid A :laugh:

Of course they know it's out there, but so what? If that's enough to keep a song from being released, we'd never have seen Discoteque. I fail to see why it matters if a few thousand people have heard Mercy. The band sells millions of records. Most fans (even fairly big fans) have never heard...

Nah. Pop is one of their greatest albums and easilly their most underrated albums.

:edge:

I didn't assume. I quoted you. I accept what you're saying, but you originally said,

So it took a year "for the inital excitement to die down a little"? Not bad for a crap song. ;)

Actually you said you liked it in september 2005, almost a year after it was leaked. All I know is I've been listening to it for about a year and a half, and I still love it.

I won't say I know exactly what you dislike, but here's my guess, the sound is loud and grating. My guess is this song was never mastered. We don't even know if this was the final mix. Here's what I do know, if you EQ the song and cut out some of the mid-highs and perhaps cut the volume at...

Then why do I think most of the AB outtakes are crap? Oh wait, I know, because they're all incomplete undeveloped ideas. We like the song because it's a great song, and everyone I've played the song for, including many non-fans think it's a good song, want to know what album it's on and then...

In general, I'm not lyric person, but I think that if you look at this song as a relationship song (probably one about Bono's with ali after his dad died), it's pretty damn coherent. I initially thought it was a nother God song, and it probably is that too, but I'm not well versed in that area...

anyone here that can tell me if we can get tickets shipped to the U.S. or not? I don't read spanish, so I"m not sure what it says for other artists (say placido domingo). I'm thinking Monterrey, but it's not a certainty. If i'm still in Louisiana or Texas, it's a given, but if I'm in...

I agree 100%. I known someone who had their internet access die just before 3rd leg presale tickets went, and 15 minutes later he still got floor tickets for MSG shows. Furthermore, I'm not even sure that anyone that had a regular U2.com membership had problems getting floors on the 3rd leg...

That will stop trading, but it won't do a damn thing to the scalpers. They'll buy the tickets, then they'll walk in one of 2 people and give the other a crap seat ticket. If there's any wristbands needed, they'll figure out a way to get it on the wrist of the 2nd person. Trust me, I saw this...

You're so right. Those people in Chicago that talked about work through OOTS were so into the show, and the 50-60 people that streamed out of the ellipse 45 minutes before the show ended it were SO EXCITED to be in the ellipse. As for not going, it's a given. If the policy remains, I will...

I would agree, but we all know that the system last tour was corrupt. Many people were placed on the list while they were at another concert. And that happened, because people kept showing up earlier and earlier for the line up (at the last show it started more than 48hours before the show)...
