Well, you have to say HTDAAB and ATYCLB are masterpieces. Are you able?
Not true .. there are a couple of song which i DON'T like .. so not every U2 is a song I will always like ...
Um...I was joking. It can be hard to tell online though.
I don't think there's a single band or musician that I like that doesn't have at least one or two songs I don't like. I call these "what were you thinking???" songs.

:ban:
I can agree with that ... or what on earth where you doing songs ...
I like both albums, I don't like the word "masterpiece" It seems kind of limiting if you ask me, like after the Joshua Tree or Achtung Baby THEY HAVE TO MAKE ANOTHER MASTERPICE OR THEY ARE NO GOOD ANYMORE!!! OMG!!!
Give me a break, they make good music that they seem to enjoy creating and performing and I like listening to, I couldn't give a rats ass past that.

#1 - Seems to start with the song already well underway, I can hear what sounds like the tail end of a guitar intro at the very start - I could see this song having an epic atmospheric lead in a-la Zooropa or Streets. And it's just beautiful, pulsating, ringing, bowled over by the gorgeous transition between the last chorus and definitely the most epic and emotional guitar solo I've ever heard from Edge. It's melancholy yet uplifting all at once... What a song.
#2 has attitude in abundance - I love the shouty, spitting vocals from Bono with more punk-choral backing from the gang. I think the backing vocals will be a huge feature on this record - Edge, Eno and Lanois' voices blend so beautifully. It's a structurally very interesting tune as well, grooving along nicely, Adam creating a rolling smooth backdrop to the fairly staccato phrasing, then taking a strange and brilliant bass driven turn towards the end of the clip
#3 More attitude, VERY punchy, very loose melodically - as someone already said you can really hear the arabic influence. More wonderful harmonies. God Im just listening to it as I type, it really sweeps you up and pulls you along for the ride. Definite single material and streets ahead of Vertigo - much closer to EBTTRT
#4 Pure atmosphere, very deep, densely layered sound, a fairly simple, hypnotic groove and melody then suddenly dropping away into a strange, off-beat section where again I hear the arabic, polyrhythmic thing coming in. Again it's structurally very interesting and counterpoints quite simple (though amazingly sung) vocal sections with possibly the most intricate instrumental work the band has created. Theres something about this song that reminds me of Please from Pop - a similar intensity and sense of tension and release.
Overall I'm wildly impressed - my expectations haven't been terribly high but now I'm absolutely dying for the proper release to come along... I think all four songs are incredibly strong but I definitely have a particular love of #1 - its got real soul. The one i'm most excited about though is #3 - it sounds mindblowing even at this poor a quality!
How exciting!!

you disgust me.
Yes, me too. BTW, it was supposed to be a joke.
Oh I got the joke, I just like to make an actual point now and then...
OMG! the everly brothers covering QOTSA with a Carribean Cruise boogie band in the background and a Darbuka!
OMG! the Glockenspiel is back and it's ON FIRE! (necessary edge+combustion comment)
