I don't dislike it.... It's alright. Just not the great song I was expecting....

I wasn't expecting much simply because the hype was so ridiculous. I knew MOS couldn't possibly live up to that.
I enjoy it. But there are better tracks here.

sunshine.
I'm so amused, given the 10 billion no-leak threads. They did exactly what I would've done, which leaves me feeling pretty satisfied about nobody noticing.

For those who don't dig Unknown Caller after the first three minutes, just wait. The ending is incredible.
This. SYCMIOYO was hyped so fucking much as being the most meaningful Bono lyric ever and we all saw what happened there. And I definitely don't think MOS is indescribable brilliance. But oh man, the atmosphere, the atmosphere! You, I'm sure, know how well that sort of thing would go down for me.
Love the line in Unknown Caller about "I'd driven to the scene of the accident and sat there waiting for me". It's a tenuous link, but New Dawn Fades is my favourite Joy Division song and I can't help thinking of its climax at "it was me, waiting for me".

The "oh-oh-oh-oh"s of Unknown Caller will be huge live with the crowd singing along.
OH GOD I KNOW.
I'm listening to that bit right now. I loved the intro and end first time around, and now I'm enjoying the parts in between a fair deal too.

White As Snow is pretty. Kind of Heartlandish at the beginning.

i'm scared i'll like it.
Total WTF falsetto at the start of Crazy Tonight's first verse, but I think I don't mind it.
I am sincerely wondering how they'll pull some of this album off live. It's not going to be as easy as the last two albums.

First 30 seconds of Crazy Tonight: this will be a single.
I love it. The sparse instrumentation is gorgeous, and ... yeah it wins.

actually, who was the moron who compared crazy tonight to sweetest thing and beautiful day?
that's a damn tenuous link, listening to it.

It's actually a decent song. Not great, but decent. Probably the weakest so far.

Breathe is next, bitches. You should probably look away from the...swooning I'm about to do.
I'm scared that I ... do.
oooh
ha, same here.
yeah, the falsetto is very wtf but so far, the song's good. besides, if i hated a song of theirs simply because bono flubbed a note, i couldn't like much of their earlier stuff.

crazy tonight. i'm impressed, it's like what a mainstream single from passengers would have sounded like.

Oh man, Breathe's intro. Breathe's everything. Dear God. Classic.

all the kids are screaming but the goats aren't real.
Haha, good call. Though I think the charm of some of the early stuff is Bono's wildly untrained vocals.
OK, I'm going to play Boots this time around. I didn't initially. Want to see how it fits in the album. Still not sold on placing that big opening riff right after Crazy Tonight.
