Lots of posters crawling out of the woodwork, which is cool. Even if it's someone I don't interact with, I recognize the usernames and am all like "Hey, it's Harry Vest! He hasn't been around in a while."

Still haven't warmed up to California, but the first 40 seconds is a very nice nod to the Beach Boys. Well done, U2.

Songs of Innocence is a fantastic David Axelrod album btw.

I do have to say that some of the titles made me cringe when I saw them. Iris. Cedarwood Road. The Troubles. Glad they proved me wrong.
Surely the most cringeworthy titles are The Miracle (of Joey Ramone), California (There Is No End to Love), and Sleep Like a Baby Tonight.

Worst title yet, worst album opener yet.

No. Knowing their backstory, I think the ones I listed had more potential to be worse. Schlocky and sentimental. Which they weren't. Or at least not nearly as bad as they could have been.

The guitar from Raised by Wolves reminds me of something from Boy. Parts of the verses remind me of Invisible. I don't even know.

I really like it guys. Fuck. Especially when the album takes a darker turn, starting with Volcano and through Sleep Like A Baby. That shit just hit my inner fanboy sweet spot. It was broken up a bit by Where You Can Reach Me, which I didn't love.
Joey Ramone is a great opener. California is catchy as hell. And Song For Someone sounds like a hit.
My favorite was definitely Raised By Wolves. I might have even fist-pumped and screamed.

I was expecting Cedarwood Road to be about how Bob was mean and didn't understand him. And how they had to eat Norman's airline meals. BECAUSE HE DIDN'T HAVE A MOTHER. But it isn't.

Not saying I hate it, it just didn't grab me on first listen. Unlike basically every other track. I wasn't too keen on the subject matter in the lyric, I think. But you know me man, I hate totally judging music on first listen. It's a huge pet peeve of mine. So I'll reserve final judgment until I have many more listens.
Also, fuck you for focusing on the ONE slightly negative thing I said in the post when the rest of my thoughts were positive.

Okay, The Miracle is growing on me. I just wish it didn't have Joey Ramone in parenthesis. Remember when U2 didn't feel the need to be so obvious?

Hey, Mikal, how does it feel to have been right, and weeks ago, too?

Hewson. His dad. See: Sometime You Can't Make It On Your Own. "My dad was mean and didn't understand me!!!11" said the rock star. Because every other dad on earth gets their kids. Whatever, Bono.
It would have been infinitely cooler if it was Bob from TP.
