A Man And A Woman - and a growing problem.

[God Part III]

It really doesn't fit in on the album, it has not guitar solo and mostly reminds me of Wild Honey or something.
At times I just grow tired of heavy guitars, and when I think of it, I would be happier if there were more songs like this one on it. This album lacks more downbeat tracks.

What do you think...?

At times I grow tired of heavy guitars. An at those times I listen to something else.

Worst U2 album track since... uhhh... forever.

 

[God Part III]

A Man And A Woman?

 

[Macfistowannabe]

That song made me think of modern Red Hot Chili Peppers material. Not that that's a bad thing. But I can easily see those guys doing a song just like it, but not nearly as well produced. No freaking complaints from me about anything on the new album. I think it's perfect.

It's not that I think this song is horrible... but it is my least favorite song on the album. I would have chosen 'Mercy' in a heartbeat over it. And 'Are You Gonna Wait Forever' as well, for that matter.

But I am not going to complain about a thing. I love this album and I have faith that the other songs will turn up b-sides.

I'm not lovin A man and a Woman yet..some songs have to grow on me...There are quite a few in the HTDAAB that I instantly loved..I'll give A Man and a Woman time

 

[Aardvark747]

Ive said it dozens of times in other threads...but I LOVE AMAAW. It's by far my fave on the album.

 

[starsgoblue]

This is one of my favorites! Very sexy.

 

[Aardvark747]

Good call Stars!

I cannot understand why U2 fans don't love this song. To me it is one of the most interesting tracks on the album.
In a danish newspaper, the reviewer headlined this track as the one that might reveal the "future sound" of U2.
If this is the sound of the future for U2, I would be very happy.
The sound on the other tracks points backwards.
And that is not saying I don't love the album. I think it's soooo much better than ATYCLB.

I thought it was one of the weakest tracks at first. Now it is finally beginning to grow on me.

I don't hate it!..It just hasnt grown on me yet, but I havent had time to really relax and enjoy the CD. and I maybe it would help if I stop pressing "repeat" on my Cd player for City of blinding lights, Sometimes, Love Peace or else, Step closer to knowing and Fast cars (which are the ones I loved at first listen) other than Vertigo..I just have to carefully listen and enjoy the rest of the songs

 

[Aardvark747]

Just the mix of, the lyrics and Adams bass playing does it for me.
Also the mixed vocals when it gets to, "Brown eyed girl across the street"

Yeah, Brown eyed girl!...heh, heh, that is a lot of girls here in this forum...including me!

 

[Aardvark747]

"How can I hurt when im holding you?" is MY standout line from the album..

 

[annatheduck]

Yeah, that line is brilliant...

I love the whole song, and I like where they've placed it on the album. Sort of gives you a chance to "breathe". lol

 

[Aardvark747]

Yeah...good point there actually!

 

[bcrt2000]

i think a man and a woman is somewhere where u2 hasn't gone before, its very sting/police, but i like it

Guide to How to Like A Man and A Woman:


One, sit down in a dark room.

Two, make yourself a coffee/tea/beer/wine/water or whatever you prefer.

Three, turn up the volume and the bass.

Four, put on A Man and A Woman.

Five, play it loud

Six, if you still don't like, I can't help!

It may grow on you boystupidboy(nice name!) give it a few weeks maybe, and you'll be listening to it, and it might just hit you.

I thought it was one of the weakest tracks at first. Now it is finally beginning to grow on me.

Sort of a similar story for me. I loved all the tracks at first and had a really hard time deciding which I preferred, but for some reason, I felt as if I loved AMAAW the least and that it had some weak points. Well now, it's grown and it's one of my favourites. As soon as COBL (my favourite on the album) is finished, I often skip right over ABOY just to hear AMAAW.

No Axver, tell the truth now...You skip over ABOY to avoid making any immature 'bottom burp' noises!!

Trying to take over every thread with your immaturity now, Aardfart?

[Slapnutz]

I've tried and tried but AMAAW is just too bland. It's the piss break for me.

 

[boystupidboy]

Just played it again,not happening

[Party Boy]

I think its U2 doing something different.. I love it - its different to rest of album, so maybe there are some flow problems, but as a song on its own merits, its great

 

[ahmedadam]

This be a fun song but not as funny as was Pop song "stuck togerther, a man and a woman" line is from song Do You Feel Loved.

I'm wishing they play Do You Feel Loved on this tour.

 

[Aardvark747]

No, I dont think they intend this as a fun song at all. The lyrics are very serious imo.
