NLOTH FULL ALBUM - Shamelessly Immediate Review Thread (DISCUSSION ONLY)

[Harbinger]

Magnificent was OK on first listen... didn't jump out at me... but Moment of Surrender is royally growing. Especially when it gets a little gospel-y at maybe 4 minutes in?

I'm also so used to NLOTH2 that 1 seems weird at first...

Edge solo in Magnifcient :fire:

 

[Earnie Shavers]

It’s great to hear delicacy back in the production.

 

[alison0313]

MosIs like nothing I have ever heard from them. Stunning I love it.

 

[MMP]

I'll review my internet connection for now: IT SUCKS!!!!

Still on 27%.

 

[cpaxlvacy]

[angel_28]

[U2democrat]

This is going to be immense live, if they can pull it off...

 

[Matthew_Page2000]

Didn't expect to like Moment of Surrender. My God, what a gorgeous song.
And it's a gospel song. Or a heroin song. Or sumpin' like that.
WOW.

 

[DignityPassesBy]

Cedars is the best closer since love is blindness. Absolutely amazing

 

[namkcuR]

Still listening, so no review from me until it's finished, but...they sampled Magnificent in Unknown Caller.

 

[Steved1998]

I think I creamed myself during Moment of Surrender

 

[mobvok]

Moment of Surrender does not sound long, at all. I'm 5 minutes in, it just whizzed by me.

 

[Rob33]

you guys are cracking me up....fuck this is exciting.......

LM, was anything in that post of yours for real? haha

 

[Yahweh]

I also must say the mixing of the album is much better then the previous 2 records it doesnt seem to be mixed loud...isnt hard to listen to on headphones.

Who's rapping in the background?

 

[Val]

God not only walked through the room, he took up residence.

 

[rjhbonovox]

MOS chorus sounds forced to me and doesn't go with the rest of the song which is unfortunate. Maybe its a grower.

 

[Rob33]

can someone describe MOS? Bono's sounding good?

 

[Clean187]

This might sound like a weird thing to compliment, but I love the humming in "Stand UP". That song isn't as thin and throwaway as I thought it would be.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

time to listen to breathe...

 

[U2democrat]

time to listen to breathe...

Uh oh....someone get some towels ready.

 

[simonapplewhite]

Every song is unique -- in that it doesn't sound like anything U2 has done before -- but it's very cohesive. It really sounds like an evolution of musicianship to me. Is musicianship a word?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

towel shmowel

 

[Harbinger]

Love the organ in UC.... not sure about the rest of it, yet... I am starting to think this is going to take a half dozen listens to really get through and into...

 

[TheEnd]

Unknown Caller is so odd....no idea what to make of it.

 

[simonapplewhite]

Edge's solo in Breath is going to RIP live

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

We set ourselves on fire.

it's not if I believe in love, it's if love believes in me.

 

[gorman]

can someone describe MOS? Bono's sounding good?

UF meets Passengers. Raw, 80s-ish vocal. Love it.

 

[Matthew_Page2000]

Unknown Caller is great. Zooropa with soul and an awesome Edge solo. Holy
fuck!!!!
