I am curious...this is my 5th or 6th release anticipation phase since becoming a u2 fan and to me it seems that there is much less hoopla in the general media.
I understand those of us that frequent the u2 sites daily and post often are very excited and over exposed, but I have yet to really see anything in the major media about this. Not that I have been paying super close attention, but I remember POP mania was unescapable.
Theories? Disagree?
I think it might be in part due to the general down turn in music sales and tour attendance these days (music is just not as big a story as it used to be) but even Rolling Stone in the last issue (give or take) had only a brief comment about it. Much more about Gwen Stefani's solo album.
I must admit, I kind of like it.
