It's a GOOD day !!

 

[purpleoscar]

It sounds like a new indie band like someone posted before.

Really liking Iris

 

[Sicy]

Please start a thread in Music on the Internet - U2 Feedback to request the album.

This thread should be for discussion only! Also it takes 5 minutes to download iTunes people!

 

[YBORCITY]

Ok I love U2 again.

Yep

 

[DaveC]

Iris sounds like a Verve song, with a Keep Talking (Pink Floyd) vibe at the start.

That's a good thing (I like The Verve even better than U2).

The music reminds me a lot of Columbo.

 

[topplehatU2]

Kind of reminds me of REM's "Accelerate" album - they feel turbo-charged

 

[snutes1]

Wow,

U2 put a fast one on us. Years and years waiting and they actually surprise us with a surprise release. Fantastic. Into the third song now. So far I love it. If Danger Mouse had any input in this album then it shows.............I might actually sign up for U2.com to score tix for next year.

[prbiker15]

Only been able to download California & Cedarwood Road. Really liking what I'm hearing so far!! SO HAPPY!!!!

 

[AtomicLemon]

If someone can post lyrics.. please?

 

[LPU2]

It's a really BRIGHT record. One might even say "poppy." Very little of the typical U2 lead bottom in the production.

 

[Jippu71]

Well, this different alright. I think this will be great after I get over this first shock.

 

[purpleoscar]

Bono's mom would be proud of the song he did for her.

 

[chrissybaby]

Best day ever!

 

[theFly51]

This sounds so ambient and atmospheric, really chill sound to some of these songs.

 

[Pop Artist]

Songs of Innocence (no hashtag) is trending both in the U.S. and Worldwide on Twitter.

me too!

 

[purpleoscar]

Volcano is so Broken Bells in a good way

 

[2861U2]

Iris belongs on TUF

 

[DaveC]

This sounds like U2 but it sounds like youthful U2.

The vocal and guitar effects on Volcano remind me just a hint of AB/Zooropa, but subtly enough that it sounds new.

 

[blujein]

It feels like there is such a heap of raw energy in this album. It's just begging to be turned-up loud.

 

[higher ground]

It sounds awesome on Radio 2 Jo Whiley show!!!

 

[fullautoreverse]

Sleep like a baby tonight! Nice.. Synthy keyboard throughout, heavy guitar.. Stripped back HMKM feel.. Meets 80's pop sound..

 

[purpleoscar]

Volcano is Glastonbury 2.0

 

[bump101]

IRIS = Mercy (sister song)

 

[YBORCITY]

I think I mistakenly hit "shuffle" because it's not running in order but so far every song is better than the one before....This Is where You can reach me is blowing my mind... WOW!!!

 

[clerks]

I"m an apple nerd and I see the album on iTunes, but it tells me it's already in my music library, but it's not. Or I don't have a setting on... maybe I blocked icloud... hmm...

.... Update.... I finally see a download button pop up...
