I must confess I did listen to Bomb online before it came out, and there were not many surprises left when I bought the cd...except for Fast Cars...hadn't heard that one yet.
I want this one to blow my mind.....All That You Can't Leave Behind had heard only snippets from u2.com before it came out so only had an idea of what it might sound like...I remember driving around in my car that night after buying it at midnight madness at the record store (my birthday) and listening to it.....twice. I remember being swept away by Kite and others and thinking this was how U2 needed to sound at the moment. That will always be a special U2 album to me.
I have a feeling these songs will also fit perfectly into this particular stage of my life.
So, I am looking at 3-3-09 as kind of a holiday. New sounds, new colors
