    Which is U2's most moving album for you...

    ... for me it has to be No Line On The Horizon, so many songs provoke a deep emotional response for me. Anyone else find it impossible to listen without getting at least a lump in the throat if not a little wet?

    In the excitment forgot that we still have the Linear movie to look forward to

    I'm looking forward to hearing the album in the context of the Linear movie now. Does anyone know whether the download version will be DVD quality or not? Maybe its better to get that hard copy?

    The Linear Secret

    There seems to be considerable quiet around Linear - the movie included in all but the basic editions of the album release. Perhaps this is what the press have meant when they have talked of an embargo on full reviews of the album? Maybe they are holding back on discussing the movie or maybe...

    Bring Back Mr MacPhisto Please

    What do y'all think? Do we need him now more than ever? Do the Bush family miss him? Could Bono get away with it now or would it detract from his efforts on the global stage? I miss the old guy, what's the chance of him making an appearance during the night of Vertigo? Perhaps entering to the...

    What is integrity?

    I was just looking through the thread, initiated by the one who likes to make us scratch our heads and ponder, that posed the question "Yes or No only: Do U2 have less integrity now than in 1987 (JT era)?" Now of course that thread contains more than just yes or no answers but I didn't want to...

    Your mission is: To compose a short story utilising all the song titles on HTDAAB

    Test of the imagination for some Friday amusement. Rules: 1) all song titles from the album (including the bonus track Fast Cars) to be included in your story, in full. 2) do not spend more than 5 minutes composing your masterpiece. My attempt below to get the ball rolling: I was most upset to...

    Some Yuletide Frivolity - the Bomb as written by Adam Clayton

    As Bono is so fond of telling everyone that Adam Clayton is "The Poshest Member of U2" I have imagined how the album might sound if Adam were extremely posh and was the lyricist. This is rather silly but for other children out there I hope it brings a sprinkling of amusement... Part I - Vertigo...

    What really makes this album great - uncontrived heart pumping, blood flowing emotion

    Just thinking about why this album is working so well for so many people. Not just old fans but new as well, and in the charts. I was expecting something a bit more anti-war or aggressively political. But if that wasn't what was coming out musically and lyrically then it is a damn good job U2...

    Any songs off the Bomb which could work well acoustically?

    Thinking back to the last album - Stuck In A Moment sounded fresh and great at first but interest died down only to be renewed by a very different treatment - the acoustic version recorded in Vienna mid way through the European leg of the Elevation Tour. Now (forgetting Edge's inspired banjo...

    Have I turned into a big girl's blouse recently or what?

    Hypocrisy
