Songs of Experience 36 - Now with 20% fewer acronyms

[CosmoKramer]

Get Out of Your Own Way was fantastic too, damn. Crowd was even singing by the end. Great performances by Bono and Edge, kind of rekindles my enjoyment of those two songs.

You could tell how much it meant to Bono that they were singing along.

Listening again through headphones and picking up on so many awesome production flourishes.. but one thing I keep taking away from the Andy Barlow tracks is how much I’d love an album produced by him and him alone.

I share the very same wish

 

[dan_smee]

Those performances were all very good. I feel Bono is finally working out how to sing these songs live. Much stronger.

Ignore me don't know where I got the 6k figure from must of read it wrong

Capitol Nashville's Luke Bryan will have the top debut on next week's chart with What Makes You Country. The tandem effort from Big Sean & Metro Boomin and an anthology set from Quality Control, meanwhile, look to be potent streaming titles. Here's what we're seeing based on early reads.

Luke Bryan (Capitol Nashville) 95-105k SPS, 85-95k album
Big Sean & Metro Boomin (G.O.O.D./Def Jam/Boominati/Republic) 60-65k, 10-13k
Quality Control: Control The Streets, Vol. 1 (Quality Control/Motown/Capitol) 55-60k, 5-7k
Walker Hayes (Monument/Arista Nashville) 14-19k, 10-15k
Barbra Streisand (Columbia) 11-15k

Next weeks predictions with no u2

 

[Axver]

Isn't that just new additions to the chart? So of course no U2.

 

[lazarus]

I would guess it's actually doing better than first week sales of SOI.

This isn't exactly a feat, considering SOI was given away for free and available for over a month before the album came out.

Regardless, these are still impressive numbers for a band this old.

I just realized, counting the bonus songs, there are 14 songs per album. I like this.

I wasn’t sure what you were saying with the “per album”, but I got you now.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

In odd and sad news, the surgeon who performed the emergency surgery on Bono after his bike crash was found murdered in his apartment this morning.

Upcoming tabloid headline ..... " Was Bono involved in the murder of his surgeon ? "

 

[BVS]

In odd and sad news, the surgeon who performed the emergency surgery on Bono after his bike crash was found murdered in his apartment this morning.

I’ve read it’s being investigated as a suicide, a very gruesome suicide.

In odd and sad news, the surgeon who performed the emergency surgery on Bono after his bike crash was found murdered in his apartment this morning.

Currently being investigated as suicide, though. NY trauma surgeon to stars found dead with knife in chest | Daily Mail Online

Suicide by knife, odd and absolutely awful.

 

[Axver]

Good lord that surgeon news is awful.

No Ordinary Love?

 

[danm]

Wow, that is awful news.

As an aside, was just about to post that currently reading the SOE liner notes - starting to suspect that Bono's brush with mortality might have been a mental health issue. It sounds possible.

No Ordinary Love?

You just ruined his math

 

[Nick66]

Along with the album.

 

[david]

That’s sad.

Looks like it will be a solid video as far as U2 videos go but Bono looks like a fucking loon with the way he is dressed. Maybe it will fit the theme of the video somehow but I mean someone needs to have an intervention with him.....fast.

Bono comes from the 'Rock Stars still Matter' generation...

I miss Rock Stars...per se

I said no remixes or alternate versions.
