Back in the ol' days (anything 10+ years ago is the "ol' days!"), I remember buying this cd and running home to pop it in the stereo for the first time. The Fly was the only song that I had heard before (thanks to MuchMusic). Everything else was new to my ears. Anyhow, I get home pop this cd in and crank it up. Zoo Station blares out. I think to myself, "alright, I think I like this" and then, the vocals begin.
I'm ready!
Ready for the laughing gas!
I was a 20 year old university student almost in need of adult diapers! The voice distortion was crazy. I kept checking the stereo to make sure it wasn't broken. What the hell is Bono singing thru a speaker-phone for? His beautiful voice intentionally all messed up. For a minute there, I was alittle choked.
This one was a grower. Probably one of the greatest "growers" on AB. Nothing quite like it.
