Moneymore, Wicklow, Ireland, Paul McGuinness' house...eh I mean Superthread

I myself, prefer ATYCLB. It's value however, is mostly sentimental of some of the best years in my life. The only track I absolutely loathe is Wild Honey. The rest, I don't mind. Elevation, Stuck In A Moment and Beautiful Day can pretty much bite me on an average day, though.

Did you ever read my epinions review of ATYCLB? [/shameless plug]

It doesn't take a musician to find ATYCLB's flaws. I like the idea of the album more than the album itself, to be honest.

In the stillness of the evening, when the sun has had its day - All That You Can't Leave Behind [Limited] by U2 - Epinions.com

I know, it's not a great album.
Like I said, it's value to me is mostly sentimental. It came out during some of the greatest times in my life and always serves me as a memory of better days. However lame that may sound.

My favourite musically speaking however, is The Unforgettable Fire.

 

[Serena Vox]

Damn. I need some more ice.

And I feel exactly the same way about Bomb.

I could rant on and on about UF forever. I think that record was completely botched and the band got too full of themselves. The lyrics are great, but the music is often too pretentious and lacks the punch necessary to make the record memorable. They got it right for Joshua Tree.

 

[Irishteen]

I think TUF kicks the Joshua Tree's ass. The Unforgettable Fire is their 80s classic album, Achtung is their 90s and All That You Can't Leave Behind is their 00s (so far)

Hey, sentimental for the win!

I have to agree with John here, I like TUF much better than JT. Mind you, I like them both, I just like the way TUF was done a lot better.

Hey Ravva.
How goes it?

 

[LemonMelon]

It's not that I hate UF, it's just that I think the band lacks an identity on it. Promenade, 4th Of July, and MLK sound like outtakes from a Brian Eno solo record, Wire and Indian Summer Sky sound like they were taken from the War sessions, and I'm not sure what to make of EPAA. The rest are classic U2, and even some of the ones I named are enjoyable enough.

 

[Serena Vox]

EPAA is by far my favourite track on there.

Hey, how are ya?



And guys it's official U2 fans are completely different about what they like in every regard...even in regards to liking U2 at all

 

[LemonMelon]

EPAA is by far my favourite track on there.

Bono sounds like he's reciting poetry from a piece of paper with smeared ink that Brian Eno handed to him 30 seconds before the mic was turned on. At 3 AM. While intoxicated.

I'm keeping that, too.

 

[Serena Vox]

Yes, I believe this needs more ice.

 

[RavenBlue]

I'm alright, thanks. Was quite tired after work so I took a nap.. better now.

Possible drunkposting tomorrow. Will have to see how I feel tomorrow.

How are you folks?

Sup mates.

Another fine theory on the coming about of that track.

 

[LemonMelon]

I'm keeping that, too.

My favorite part is 2:07-2:17, which features one of the strangest articulations of the word "heart" that I've ever come across.

Hhhhhhheeeeaauuuauaauuruuuuuauquuauauuuauuauerrurrrrrttttt

I'm hoping to get my drunk on tonight, if the rest of this bottle does the trick!

 

[Serena Vox]

Sup mates.

Bonnie! Hey!

I'm having my Irish Cream as we type.
How are you?

Ooh, now I gotta listen to it again.

 

[LemonMelon]

Hey, Bonnie. How goes it?

 

[LemonMelon]

Ooh, now I gotta listen to it again.

I want to listen to some UF b-sides right about now.

I'm good thanks, a little tired but not really. Only had like 4 or so hours sleep last night

Sup mates.

Hey

 

[RavenBlue]

Hey Bonnie..

ElMel.. you's making me laugh

 

[Serena Vox]

I want to listen to some UF b-sides right about now.

I'm really tempted just to listen to that era of U2.

 

[RavenBlue]

How's Ireland been? I miss it.

 

[LemonMelon]

ElMel.. you's making me laugh

I'm going for a piece of the moon tonight.

 

[Serena Vox]

My drink is making noises at me.

 

[RavenBlue]

I still think War is made of ultimate superwin!

October has seriously been creeping up though. What a great album

 

[LemonMelon]

I'm really tempted just to listen to that era of U2.

For the rest of your life?

I've got to dig up my 1985-1990 2 disc set of b-sides.
