NLOTH will sell more after the tour begins......
Exactly...the album will see a steady bounce once the tour begins.

No, but we were given the titles "Solar" and the song "Full Metal Jacket" around 2002. Turned into HTDAAB and SYCMIOYO not for another 2 years.

^ agree with the above post!
it does feel very disjointed to me... it does not make a cohesive whole imo
the more i'm hearing NLOTH the more i'm feeling it's ended up as Brian Eno featuring U2... feels like they stayed in their comfort zone and played it safe... their "experimental" in this case just = Eno's sound
i hope the next album will be better
Define what you mean by "better"?
Im really interested in hearing leaked Rubin sessions. Im actually starting to think Bomb is better than NLOTH after a few months. I only really like NLOTH and Magnificent, Cedars is ok sometimes.
They aren't very good but I wouldn't consider Saints a U2 song.
Anyway, we haven't heard yet the original versions of "Original Of The Species" (only an excerpt, isn't it?) or "City Of Blinding Lights" (which had another name/lyrics and was sightly different, right?), nor "North Star" or "Treason", for instance...Maybe we will get to hear the Rubin songs someday...they saved the songs right ? It wasn't all scrapped like the Chris Thomas sessions for Bomb.
FYI "Solar" was a fan-made hoax.
It was never a provisional song title or album title from U2.
And SYCMIOYO was called Tough.
Full Metal Jacket=Vertigo
What do we think kind of song "Every Breaking Wave" is going to be? Unforgettable fire? NYD? Boots?!
Is this the song where Bono says "I dont know if im that strong" ?
Do you think this new album will sound like NLOTH 2 or will it be an actual different album? If it is the former I may spend my money on Muse's furthcoming classical album instead. Do you think Bono actually will sing on this album?
^ No, he will fart, snore and read the menu of his local Chinese restaurant.
Biut the vocal on NLOTH isn't very melodic and this is what I mean when I say that I (and others who've reviewed the album on Ebay and actual music critics) can't hear melodies. I like my music to have huge, sweeping melodic vocal lines as well as from the lead instruments. Josh Tyrangale from Time magazine said there's load of effects from Eno but the most surprising effect, an obvious big melody, dodges in and out. So whilst Bono is appears to be singing one note (unlike tracks on Bomb and some on ATYCLB which must be more difficult to sing if a song has more challenging vocal lines) but Edge's playing has gone back to old "riff orientated U2" rather than melodic U2 . Now I'm probably gonna be shot down for this, but then I am used to it, but I have never been too keen on RTSS, BTBS, NYD or SBS, these are always tracks that I skip. Why? Well I find the first song too slow and it lacks something which I think Bad has. BTBS- I've said before that I don't like Bono's singing from the 80's or early 90's and in this song his style grates on my nerves, plus I just don't like the song. As for NYD and SBS I don't get to listen to War too ofter mainly because I only have it on vinyl and my record player doesn't work at the moment. I have got these tracks somewhere on CD and New Year's Day, I always play NYD. It's ok, I think the piano is catchy, but I can't like it that much as the January 1st was the last time I played it. My favourite track on War is 40. I don't care if the lyric was taken from Pslam, I just like the tune.
Well the guy that sold me the velvet painting of Jesus in an 18 wheeler on Ebay said he loved the melodies. His name was HeySus420.Biut the vocal on NLOTH isn't very melodic and this is what I mean when I say that I (and others who've reviewed the album on Ebay and actual music critics) can't hear melodies.
Josh is an idiot. I'm not saying that because he said something bad about a band I like, but if he honestly said that he doesn't know shit about music.I like my music to have huge, sweeping melodic vocal lines as well as from the lead instruments. Josh Tyrangale from Time magazine said there's load of effects from Eno but the most surprising effect, an obvious big melody, dodges in and out. So whilst Bono is appears to be singing one note (unlike tracks on Bomb and some on ATYCLB which must be more difficult to sing if a song has more challenging vocal lines)
You'll have to explain this one to me, because Edge has never been "riff oriented", except for a very few exceptions.but Edge's playing has gone back to old "riff orientated U2" rather than melodic U2 .
