    New Album Discussion 1 - Songs of..... - Unreasonable guitar album

    Excellently said. Bono also really pissed me off for hanging out with George W. Bush -- after that prick lobbied to put Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court. It was also notable that Mr. Save African Lives said NOTHING about the refusal of his buddy Bill Gates and Western governments to wave the...

    Your song saved my life

    Took the words right out of my mouth. I can take "Window in the Skies", but not something even more mainstream than that. It's just so awful. I'd really hoped better from a band that was actually starting to create loud and soft and some synths with "Songs of Experience."

    U2 songs reviewed - Rick Beato on YouTube

    Thanks, Dan M. Can't believe they did "The Drowning Man", one of the band's best songs they've never played live. Absolutely insane, considering it's way better than "I Will Follow" they play a ton. Quite cool he covered this, but I think he likes it even more than me. Ha, ha.

    U2's videos being remastered in HD

    I remember buying the single version of "Walk On" that had that "Stuck" video and I was so excited to watch it with my dorm mates as the big U2 fan trying to convert more people, and was so embarrassed.

    U2: Virtual Road to launch on YouTube Wednesday

    I was fairly happy to read this because it means a 4K or, at least, Blu Ray release is around the corner, which I'll happily buy for $40 each. I really hope they don't try to resell the albums for us to be able to get it, but I doubt they'll do that. Mastered unreleased stuff from the late '80s...

    U2: Zooropa Album Review - Pitchfork

    Exactly. I drank the Kool-Aid at the time, but Bono doesn't care any more than do sell-outs like the Clintons and the Obamas (and Trudeaus here in Canada), who's sole desire this primary was to stop Bernie by rigging the primary. These are the people that got us Trump by prioritizing making...

    U2: Zooropa Album Review - Pitchfork

    Excellent review and I loved the fair criticism, too! (Bono's still pumping up the George W. "Let's campaign to put Brett Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court" Bush brand and endorsing corporatists; he recently attacked the fact that not enough conservative universities were popular in some talk with...

    Next Album Rumours Thread II - Songs of Ass Scent

    "Gloria" is so much better a song than "I Will Follow".

    Next Album Rumours Thread II - Songs of Ass Scent

    I'd hate to think it was someone other than The Edge playing. Then again, Lanois played a ton, so why not the others. I was kinda disappointed the band couldn't come up with more of their own original melodies, but those are some pretty great ones on "Lights of Home" and "Summer of Love." Ah...

    Next Album Rumours Thread II - Songs of Ass Scent

    Yeah, U2 is the worst judge of what the hits should be. Really enjoyed "Songs of Experience" , but tracks 3 and especially 4 and 5 are garbage. The best songs from "Songs of Innocence" were not played live: "California" and "Sleep Like a Baby". I've been listening to "Pop" a lot this year...

    Next Album Rumours Thread II - Songs of Ass Scent

    I actually liked what Tedder did, I think. "Songs of Experience" might be the best album since "Pop"; it's just really lacking in the lyrics department, but still is much better than "Songs of Innocence" ("13" is so much more beautiful than "Song For Someone") or anything in the 2000s. My least...

    SOE FAN + industry reviews only

    YES! What a fraking prick for doing that. That's why I miss '80s/early '90s Bono. Such a corporate weasel. So sad.

    SOE FAN + industry reviews only

    I think "All Because of You" and especially "One Step Closer" are perhaps the very worst tracks U2's ever released -- certainly this decade. I still love "Wild Honey"'s bridge and don't hate the song.

    SOE FAN + industry reviews only

    This is one of "Songs of Innocence"'s best moments. I always enjoy this song at the gym; too bad it's bookended by 2 dullards before it and the album's worst song afterward. When U2 really try for that single nowadays, they suck. I hope that's the case for this new album because I'm seriously...

    SOE FAN + industry reviews only

    Thanks very much for these. The reviewer is sadly just reviewing the lyrics. (That moron Ryan Dombal is the only Pitchfork writer to make that mistake.) Not much about the music, which I think is the most important. I also think "The Best Thing About Me" is quite bad, unlike this reviewer.

    SOE FAN + industry reviews only

    Totally agree. Also the production for the album is flat. All the texture from the live version seems gone. The Edge has ruined this album so far; there's no loud and soft. That was at least starting to come back on "Songs of Innocence" with "Sleep Like a Baby" and maybe a few others. Very...

    SOI - I finally figured out what's wrong with it

    I think the lack of "hooks" by The Edge are what makes it a better album, considering he hasn't written great guitar bits since the '90s and, more often than not, drags the band back to repeating itself. For example, "Unknown Caller" reused that guitar riff from "Walk On" and "Crumbs From Your...

    Invisible...

    You know, that's not a bad place for it. I was wondering where to put it on my recumbent exercise bike playlist; I really need something strong for that work out. I'm gonna try that. Better than having it after "Lucifer's Hands", as I had placed it.

    Invisible...

    I'd actually reverse that. I think "Window in the Skies" is the most listenable, then "Invisible", then "Electrical Storm" (whose only moment I love is when Bono sings "Hey-aha Hey-ey-ey!" in the bridge). But that's me.

    Invisible...

    It's not credited at all. No lyrics or production credits -- like it's not there.

    Invisible...

    Very disappointed that the band didn't put extra work into "Invisible." I'd dare say that the "Red Edit" is the better version. There's not enough variation going on to justify the longer length. That synth just doesn't work. Fun chorus, though, like "Window in the Skies"; typical post-'90s U2...

    10 best U2 songs since year 2000

    I'm really unsure about while of the new songs I'll end up loving and how they'll compare to U2's stuff since 2000: 1. Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of 2. In a Little While 3. Original of the Species 4. Miracle Drug 5. Iris 6. Raised by Wolves 7. Sleep Like a Baby Tonight 8. California...

    I was expecting a lot more, given all the questions they were soliciting. The also picked the most superficial ones. I expected at 30 minutes or so of answers. Kind of unfair to fans. At the same time, I found it hilarious, especially when Bono makes fun of Larry misreading "Cumberbatch" as...

    Is this the worst U2 album ever ?

    I was 11 and had the exact same experience -- except I eventually felt let down by Zooropa, the first album I ever bought. My big brother bought "Achtung Baby" and I got into the songs. It got ME into music, too, and remains my favorite album by any band to this day.
