I got it :cool:
I bought 2, actually... common edition (just CD) and Deluxe edition (CD+DVD+Book)... because with common edition they gave me a special album with 5 tracks live (from Slane) just made for Mexico :D

I was since 1 PM to 7 PM... 500 people or so were there under sun, later a cover band (No Name) played some songs, but they destroyed U2 classics :huh:

:up:

I had an email saying it has been shipped on Friday - oh how they tease me. Waiting to see if it comes in the post today:crazy:
 
Got the bomb today

First off, who ever said this was a mellow record?

I can't remember the last time I heard so many Edge solos (Miracle drug, Love and peace or else, All because of you, Crumbs - 2 solos, Original of the species and City of blinding lights - the "time.." part).

Second, who said Bono's voice is fading? He sounds very clear, as well as hitting the notes.

My first impression is this is definitely not ATYCLB inspired. (except maybe Original of the species) Yes, the songs are formulaic but that's about it. Even more direct and personal, it almost feels like being inside Bono's mind. It's too early to tell if this is a third masterpiece or rank it anywhere among U2's albums, but so far I really like it. More of a grower and less catchy than the previous album.

I don't care for City of blinding lights (anyone notice Coldplay-ish sounds on the album?) yet, and I have yet to figure out what I think on Man and woman. Otherwise, I like the songs.

Favorite songs: Sometimes you can't make it on your own, All because of you, Crumbs from your table and Original of the species. Honorable mention Miracle drug.


The moment of the album: "can you hear me when I SING, you're the reason I sing, you are the reason the opera is in me, I still gotta let you know, a house doesn't make a home, don't leave me here alone" from Sometimes you can't make it on your own. If this doesn't move you, I don't know what will.
Musically, Edge solo on Love and peace or else at the end. (that song's melody has me grinning like an idiot for some reason) What an explosion!

I think Electrical storm is, for the most part, really indicative for this album. If you enjoyed that, you will love it.

*cought*...ahem...*cought*

:applaud:

I'm rating your review -> 9/10 (-1 because of what you said about COBL:madspit: )
 
I've got the bomb too! :hyper:

I've just bought the HTDAAB LP and the retail (non-promo) 12" of Vertigo. Got myself a poster, 12" flat and carrier bag for free ;)

I was hoping for a double, gatefold LP but it is just a single disc. My guess is that the booklet is just a larger version of the CD booklet, as was the case with ATYCLB.

Poster on the left is double-sided. One side with "Album out on 22nd November", the other with "Album out now".

The 12" flat has the target in the middle and a red star on the reverse.

The carrier bag is up top.

The album reverse is right of this, and album sleeve with "out of focus" band picture.

Opened LP booklet in centre. Album disc on RHS.

Vertigo 12" cover reverse, inner sleeve, and disc at the bottom

:)

I ordered the Collectors Edition from Virginmegastore online so I hope to receive this in a day or two.

:up:

I also just picked up the "BOMB' cd from a small local music store that sells new and used cd's and dvd's.... the sound quality on the cd is much better than the mp3 files I downloaded, there is also great pictures and lyrics included ...I am planning on getting the box set later this evening when UPS delivers another shipment to the store

I love all those songs in that order too
:heart:

The more I hear this the more I love it.

I was quite critical of it at first too and thought I'd hate it
:reject:
 
Why do so many kids on this board say "parts of it sound like Coldplay..."

Do you not know that every note Coldplay has ever written has been intended to sound as much like U2 as possible? That's like saying Shakespeare sounds too much like the new Oliver Stone movie...

Sheesh. Sorry, venting done now.
