Had two or three listens now to the new songs they played at totp and I must say I'm a bit disapointed. I just hope its that the sound quality is crap but I have a feeling that ABOY is nothing special, it does not sound like the ground breaking music I was hoping for, but it seems its more of the same as you were from "All that you can't leave behind", also the chorus of ABOY where he repeats the title 3 times is a bit repetitive. And I know everyone has been raving about COBL but that is another that is a bit disapointing for me. I love Vertigo and think thats a great raw track but the other two have not got me that excited. I just hope that its cos they are crap recordings, and maybe that is why I can't get into COBL and think Edge's guitar doesn't sound as great as it should, also anyone noticed the first line of COBL, "The more you see, the less you know", sounds like something he has sung before, kind of like they are treading old ground, in fact thinking about it he sang that in Last Night On Earth, at the end of the first verse. Anyway just my thoughts from somebody who was expecting a bit more diverse music as like Achtung Baby and Pop, and I was REALLY looking forward to this album. Oh well the album versions may blow my socks off I suppose, here's hoping!
