Good call, glad to hear someone else hears Holy Joe in the chorus riff! I thought I was hearing that from the day NLOTH was released, but told myself I was imagining it. Yet, we are not imagining it, it's definitely Holy Joe. As for The Fly... while it sounds extremely close, I think there is...

After about 2.5 months approx, this is what I am thinking, see below my current opinions about all the albums, and bear in mind, my opinions change often depending on what sort of music in general let alone U2 music, I am listening to: 1. Achtung... the album that from 1 to 12, hits your...

If this is still the case, it days more about the charts and who buys songs these days, than it does about the music. Magnificent is up there with U2's best, who cares what the 12 year old girls are currently "chillaxing" or "woot wooting" to these days. I think the number of hits this album...

LOL. This is a funny post, I hope you were joking. However, I respect your opinion if you were for real. In which case, thankfully you have probably discovered the formula for the perfect album.... From now on 1. Even though you are a guitarist Edge, the usual buzzing, whirring, background...

You don't know... You don't get it do you? It's not linear... :)

I don't live in Malibu so maybe some people would say I have no right to comment, maybe they'd be correct in saying that, maybe they wouldn't - so what the hell I will add my $2 worth to the argument. I am all for left of centre politics and I do whatever I can to reduce pollution and look...

I am really surprised this song has not been widely spoken of as a possible single. To me it seems a no-brainer, it sounds like a modern U2 anthem, classic U2 style chants, accounting for the catchiest chorus on the whole album. This song should be a single BEFORE they even think about Crazy...

I agree with those arguing to give the new album some time, a couple more singles, and the 360 Tour, to bed it all in, let it all gel, and see how high the sales climb. Not that I care too much about sales, but I do like the idea of new younger audiences getting into U2. I look back and think...

Nice post. It is not popular to suggest such a thing in this day and age, but these three albums together are collectively U2's best "threealbumsinarow" in terms of musical consistency and lack of dud tracks. The first three are let down by Gloria being unfinished, with lyrics stolen and...

Well my friend, you HAVE changed my mind. Thanks to your comments I now have even more reasons to like HTDAAB, I have changed my mind about how much I love the album... even more than I did! Your comment about the brash production and overall sound of the album is a very good one - for some...

Excellent post. Such an excellent post Mr S, it deserves repeating. Sounds like something I would have written in a parallel universe, I agree with everything you have said above and totally endorse your scores out of five for each song. I actually think U2's three 00s albums have shown...

Yeah I see your points very clearly there now, in fact, the question should be asked in relation to all future U2 albums... Your point that Atomic may have turned out even better... from my point of view... than it did.... is intriguing... Quite interestingly, the question has to be asked...

Yeah it's so sad to hear NLOTH has been completely ruined, ruined forever... By the fact that a journalist has written that... Brian Eno has some "discarded' bits of U2 songs not yet deemed ready for release... On a tape in some basement... Which even U2 agree will probably be...

Hey friend, very nice reply, thanks, I am happy this album introduced you to U2, although I am sad for you that some of your own circumstances were unhappy at the time..... interestingly, myself included, there seems to be a common theme with this album, of: "getting me through a tough time in...

Thanks for explaining a bit more, well done.... Would I be TOO far off the mark to say, the album took off and the Vertigo tour made it take off even more, but... Yes I agree, the album itself should have taken off of its own accord, more than it did? Well, it sold a lot of copies, the...
