No Line On the Horizon II would be between Magnificent and No Line On the Horizon I. And I still think II should have been the lead single.

 

[Axver]

i said boots being the lead single was a good sign.

if it was the weakest track, we had something good on our hands.

True. Maybe using Magnificent wouldn't have been that brilliant a move, since it's the best song from my perspective. Boots gives you the perk of "so much better to come" reviews.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Wow, I'm not even annoyed by Bono's voice so far.

You know, not to be a prick, but I generally find it way too whiny these days, you know? But no, this is good.

 

[Axver]

I can't wait for the hipster douchebags of RYM to get hold of this thing.

I can't wait for shaun vox to get hold of this thing.

I can't wait for shaun vox to get hold of this thing.

I recall him drooling over the 45 second clips. Plus, he loved the Boots video.

So, most of you all seem to really be loving this album. I only like it. But I think it's a grower.

 

[Cin]

I've only listened to about 30 seconds and I think I'm gonna It's beautiful...

 

[Axver]

So, most of you all seem to really be loving this album. I only like it. But I think it's a grower.

On the basis of 2.5 listens:

1. UF
2. JT
3. Passengers
4. Boy
5. October
6. Pop
7. NLOTH
8. War
9. Zooropa
10. RAH
11. Achtung
12. HTDAAB
13,000,000. ATYCLB

I can see this maybe moving past Pop and October too, if it proves to be a grower.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Return of a wiyuh?

 

[Axver]

I just don't know what to make of Stand Up Comedy. The first two thirds are weak, maybe even the worst thing on the album ... but then the final third is serious quality.

I'm not gonna rank it against any other albums at this point because I want to let it sink in first. I don't wanna go out there and say something stupid, like when I said HTDAAB was U2's 4th best album.

 

[Axver]

Return of a wiyuh?

tuf bono sent his respect to the future.

 

[coolian2]

if it grows, i can't wait to see if it can break my jt/tuf/ab/passengers top album bracket.

I thought it was pretty solid on first listen, but this second listen has been awesome.

1. Zooropa
2. The Joshua Tree
3. Pop
4. War
5. Boy
6. Achtung Baby
7. Passengers: OS1
8. NLOTH
9. HTDAAB
10. Rattle And Hum
11. The Unforgettable Fire
12. ATYCLB
13. October

 

[The Sad Punk]

I can actually excuse this use of "knees" in the chorus for now. I like this song a lot.

...like Get On Your Boots?

If I'd felt like rating it really high or really low, I would've held off. But I think its placement on that rankings list is fair, and has good room to move either way depending on how my feelings of it evolve over time.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Heh, it's a shame about "ATM machine".

 

[LemonMelon]

Heh, it's a shame about "ATM machine".

This.

Fuck.

 

[The Sad Punk]

I haven't actually finished it yet, but does anyone else get that sappy vibe that MOS could probably make you cry if played live right?

Maybe if NL OTHB O NO snippeted something in place of ATM MACHINE.

a lot of this album feels like it could do that.

That's White As Snow for me.

I'm so taken by it. I'm playing it right now. Utterly love the music.

 

[the tourist]

I love the synth in the main portion of Fez so fucking much!

 

[LemonMelon]

Oh man, Breathe is on.

Hit the decks, guys.

 

[coolian2]

white as snow is growing on me.

didn't love it at first, but it's picking up.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

oh, i agree.
