ONE love, blood, life
My boxset arrived this morning and it's gorgeous! I think I may have to get the LP, too.
Nope. I usually get the emotional atmosphere surrounding the first time I listen to an album or song imprinted on my mind every time I listen to the song. Listening to Pulp's "We Love Life" reminds my of setting up the Christmas tree in my parents' home in 2001, which was just after I bought the album. Pop's "Do You Feel Loved?" reminds me of reading what turned out to be propagandistic US history in my living room and watching cars go outside by as I pumped up the volume; it's then that I really loved the song.^ wow that's perserverance
(or do you have the thing downloaded on your ipod, or the digipak stashed away somewhere secretly )
^ Isn't it sensational . . . I still haven't read the little book yet reject no time to just sit and devour . . . hoping to get a goosey gander at it this weekend (once the stress of pre-sale stuff has died down )
I'm assuming you've listened by now? What are your thoughts . . . which songs jumped out and grabbed you first?
I've listened to it several times all the way through and think it's great. "Breathe" and "Crazy Tonight" have really stuck out. I think "Magnificent" is going to be amazing live. I'm having fun picking out the Eno and Lanois parts, and love how much Edge is on the record. Totally worth the wait.
. . . I just love that its a grower . . . a slow burner that you can appreciate a little more with each new listen . . . I haven't bashed it to death (well, I can't really . . . there are 4 other sets of ears in this house and they are tolerant . . . to a point ) . . . so its a bit of an event every day to grab some time to listen
Can not wait to see what they do with these songs live . . . really dying to hear Breathe, Magnificent and No Line live . . .think they will be extraordinary
Yeah I can't wait to hear these songs live either
I think No Line as the opener would be amazing

I think No Line as the opener would be amazing
I agree, no line would make a fantastic opener methinks
Now, when are we having this holder outerers review thread?
should we wait till the last cherry has popped? from memory methinks pepokiss has to wait till the end of the week? but it'll be fun to hear what everyone thinks
yep I think we should wait til every cherry has popped! Oh well, end of weeks not bad........be great fun to see what everyone thinks I think we will have better and more positive reviews on the album cos we weren't wrapped up in the hype surrounding the leak........
Well didn't that sound clever?
still waiting
Amazon says "March 11"... today is the 10th... let's wait

Indra, you are learning to act like a cat! I say this as a cat person!
IT'S HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
finally, I get to hear this...
I'm not mega-enthusiastic about it, some songs really I don't understand them being even made ( Cedasr of Lebanon ), but... that's just after 1 listen
now I'm on my 2nd one, away and out of the bathroom
NLOTH - I prefer NLOTH 2
Magnificent - Good, but has to grow a little more
MOS - nice, but needs to grow more
UC - halfway through I'm hooked
Crazy Tonight - "The right to appear ridiculous is something I hold dear" OH HELL YEAH!!!
GOYB - I think I love this even more everytime I hear it
SUC - Led Zeppelin all over. but lacks some momentum
FEZ-BB - Fez is nice, and BB is like one of the most adventurous things I've heard... it takes you to so many places is incredible
WAS - the only way I see this being played live is acousticly
Breathe - catchy... have to hear this live... and if it comes seguing UTEOTW, it's GOLD
COL -
I think this could make my TOP 5, at N°5, because it has a lot more replay value than ATYCLB...
as of right now, AB, POP, HTDAAB, JT, NLOTH
that's just after 1 listen, though
BTW: the booklet sucks , the only picture worthwhile is the one with the sun in the back and the shadows in the ground in that square of sorts...but the CD case is lovely I've never seen one like this
After 1 listen, 3/5 stars
need to hear this on my iPod shuffle
maybe it will rise
now... to download the live stuff!!!
thanks for the support
Indra . . . are you still on the island then? What prize can we give to the NLOTH Survivor winner . . . .
how's about a slice of . . . .
