This has to be a song from "Songs of Ascent." It's got a distinct Moroccan feel to it, it has a Passengers feel to it, it had to come from the Fez sessions (or inspired by them). I'd bet the bank on it. It's got a meditative sound as well, which Bono has already discussed.

God bless the pre-sale. Section 110, Row 12 - two seats. Section 110, Row 19 - two more seats. :applaud:
Good luck tomorrow everyone...seriously. :ohmy:
Has anyone received their e-mail with all the ticket links yet? I have gotten one for every other pre-sale. For Vegas...I have not!!! Should I be panicky or will it magically arrive tonight or tomorrow?:crack:
Two lines...
"I can't believe the news today" :sad:
And my all time favorite...
"I have spoke with the tongue of angels, I have held the hand of the devil" :hyper:
One more bonus...
"One life, with each other. Sisters, brothers." :applaud:
"They said they would make new music...but the new album is just same old U2 with re-tread sounds."
Followed closely by...
"The band has gone off on some experimentation that leaves fans lurching. They should stick with what they know and make U2 music."
But my all-time favorite is the bag on...
First Album: Joshua Tree
Favorite Song: I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
...conversely, my favorite Album is Zooropa. I also believe U2 did not become U2 until AFTER Achtung Baby.
"I did not notice the passers by and they did not notice me"
Great line about an addicts complete detachment from the rest of the world, and the world's detachment from the plight of an addict.
Great lyric!
I love "Magnificent" because it's like every great song they have ever done wrapped up into one package. It's super-concentrated U2!
I love "Moment of Surrender" because it's unlike anything they've ever done. Totally new and interesting! The most soulful, R&B recording of their careers...
:doh: Really?
What is it with U2 fans that "just can't like Coldplay?" I adore Coldplay, and Viva La Vida kept me going until NLOTH came out. Why must we compare them...they are different, but cut from the same fabric. The great bands have two things in common - they sound completely unique...

Vividly remember Sunday Bloody Sunday on MTV. That was the beginning. Joshua Tree was the VERY FIRST CD I ever bought. I said out loud to my friends "what the fuck is this?" after my first listen to Achtung Baby...I now think it is their greatest album. Zooropa was the very...
I remember when it leaked and remember watching forums on U2log. People were freaking out because of the guitar riff in Beautiful Day - some bad, some good. That one riff was standing out because we hadn't heard it in a while. I remember everyone using the term "U2ish" when describing that song...
I tire of comparisons, but they can be fun. I agree on the whole "Pop" vibe running through the album. Pop is quite underrated.
I described this album to a friend as "The Unforgettable Fire" played on top of "Pop." Atmospherics and beats all rolled up into a great listen.
