It depends entirely on how good your seats are and how good the acoustics are. I saw a ZooTv show at Foxboro stadium outside of Boston that rates as the worst concert going experience of my life. Most of the time I couldn't tell which song they were playing because I was in an acoustic "dead...

I wouldn't put it past Bono. He's not stupid. He knows that there are some songs where the lyrics really matter and others where they just don't. He probably looked at an earlier print out of the liner notes, read the lyrics to SUC and said "fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck this. Make it unreadable. I...

I remember looking at my cd rack and seeing the following albums stacked on top of each other: Peter Gabriel: UP Ani Difranco: Up Up Up Up Up REM: Up Sort of creepy actually.

Now here's a real putdown of Sting. Googled this. I believe this event happened in 2002. You think Edge took a shot at your hero, Jofo? Prepare to be ENRAGED. :mad: A YEAR AGO, as Sting was preparing to perform at a charity party in Cannes, Bono introduced him. "He is one of the most...

Ok. Take a deep breath. In. Then out. Feel better? Sting is the absolute all time captain of snarky remarks about other artists. He can't help it--he's a Brit. Edge was just making a funny. If Gordon saw it he probably snickered, turned to his wife and made a rude comment about Edge's...

I agree. At least Pitchfork acknowledges what an excellent album How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb is. If only U2 would return to that kind of brilliance. :drool::drool:

Ha!! This is hilarious. :applaud::applaud::applaud::applaud: Cracks me up. The same Interference members who hate How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb have been on pins and needles waiting for the GREAT Pitchfork to post their review of NLOTH. And they hate it. :wave::wave::wave::wave: I don't...

No. God no. U2 haven't been relevant since 1991. And that's debatable. Great, yes. Best band in the world, yes. Relevant, no. Relevant means that about a half dozen critics think you're special and 14 year old girls (and some boys) masburbate to your poster on their wall. who the hell...

Don't agree at at. It would be difficult to write a more snarky, meanspirited review. Every critic who loves the album is just sucking up to Bono. Sure. Critics like this should just step in front of a freight train and do us all a favor.

Good points. However, it's possible none of us have come up with a superior track order because U2 picked the best one. I have issues with the middle section as well but all my attempts to make a superior track listing ruined the album.

No, they're Bono's. Edge has always assisted with a lyric here or there. Bono read some of the lyrics to a journalist in 1993. Might have been B.P. Fallon.

I love Bono and I love his lyrics but he's always had his less than poetic moments. How about "Face to Face/In a dry and waterless place" in the Unforgettable Fire. Dry AND Waterless? Really?? :applaud: Still one of my favorite U2 songs.

This has been one of their least controversial releases. Pretty much universal critical acclaim. 98% of Interference thinks it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. Even the critical reviews have found something positive to say about the album. For a band of U2's stature and, ahem...

He shoots you. He shoots you dead. But that's not so bad because he tortures you first until you want to die.

More popular with fans but less popular with Interference. We would have savaged it for the cheesy title and its immediacy. There would have been at least 4,954 posts from the haters about a lack of development in sound and U2 taking the path of least resistance. Imagine dozens of variations...
