    Are the b-sides to POP and Zooropa available?

    It also has their best song ever made, Zooropa.

    Is everything so pre-programmed....

    I like their albums, but the notion that U2 is a great live band is a myth built by U2 Inc. Just look at their setlists from every tour. They play the same songs, are heavily sequenced and spend way to much time and money on the silly over-the-top production.

    U2 being accused of robbing the poor

    I love the music of U2, but their business/work ethic is total shit. At the same time I have enormous respect for what Bono does.

    Far and away the best song they've written. Nothing comes close. Time will solidify this fact. As far as ATM Machine goes, I've said that before—and heard it many many times by other people. Pretty common IMO.

    Anti-Leak Program ( Conspiracy Content )

    // Puts Tin foil Hat on // 1) U2 has been explicitly talking about another album. 2) Force Quit. Move to Trash .... Not only is this a nod to Apple / iTunes, but the robotic delivery is sort of Spinal Tap'ish, silly. I think there is a better version of Unknown Caller around the bend. // No...

    Anti-Leak Program ( Conspiracy Content )

    Disclosure: First, I have no idea if this is true. Second, I do work in the industry and this is just hunch / theory based on forces I see at play in the industry. Did they do this, probably not—but they should. If they did, and executed it perfectly, would benefit U2 Inc enormously as well as...

    Some tracks might be the same. Some might be considerably different. No fake edge, just different edges.

    Anti-Leak Program ( Conspiracy Content )

    Actually it's not laughable. Was it laughable that one of the biggest and most repected bands in the world gave away their album "for whatever". There are certain tactics that large organizations need to take to get around piracy. Some of them will be totally out of the box. Look at the...

    Anti-Leak Program ( Conspiracy Content )

    Cue XFiles Music. Taking a cue from "In Rainbows" U2 in in the midst of pulling off a devious, and more capitalistic tactic to deal with the slippery slope of high profile album releases. The album we all have is not NLOTH. As of 3 weeks ago the only sure thing were the track selections. As of...

    A 9 Song Album?

    I'm going to print the binary code of these mp3 files ( boots , comedy ) and burn them.

    A 9 Song Album?

    Well said. I totally agree with you! I already deleted those tracks from my Mac. Those two tracks are just a total disjointed mess.

    Does this album feel unfinished to you?

    I think Boots and Stand Up ruin an otherwise excellent album. Man, I wish they would have swapped those two donkeys for something else. When I get to that part of the album it's skip, skip for me. Actually, I'll force quite itunes, delete those tracks and empty trash, reboot. :P

    I think this is indeed their best song. Very deep. So much going on. Love it. I need some lyrics? Who's got them ?
