Right now, this is my favourite song on the album. That may very well change, but I love every second of it. I wish they would do more of this kind of stuff, but then again I'm an unabashed "Pop" lover, so what the hell do I know. Rest of the album sounds pretty good, and I expect to like it...

psalves@gmail.com Thank you!

Ok, I just watched this thing and it was bloody great. I honestly don't get what everyone is bitching about (apart from the poor sound mix, but that happens pretty often in this type of shows). Get some perspective, people. Go to U2.com and check out the clip of them playing "Beautiful Day"...

psalves (at) gmail.com Thank you!

Studio version would be much appreciated. psalves @gmail.com Thanks! Edit: Holy crap, that was fast. Thanks a lot DreamOutLoud13!

Jon Stewart is probably the funniest guy on TV today. Why shouldn't he make fun of U2? He makes fun of everyone else. U2 are not gods and it's not blasphemous to mock them. Have a little sense of perspective people.

Actually, I thought the joke went more like: Q: What the hell is Bono talking about when he says (insert random Bonoism here, e. g. "unos, dos, tres, catorce")? A: It's a biblical reference. As for ABOY, I'd say it's about his mom.

Have to agree with that. I know that U2 has a lot of very dedicated fans in South America, and they should have the opportunity to see them live, like the rest of us.

What you say is true, but... from the point of view of the more dedicated fan: - An arena show is always superior to a stadium show in terms of sound quality, proximity to the band, comfort, etc. - Also, considering the fact that over half the tour will take place in arenas I think we can...

Nope, doesn't remind me of any of those songs. It's actually ten times better.

Shortchanged? You bet. Less shows and bloody stadiums instead of arenas. I don't get it. It's like they go out of their way to alienate their European fans who have, throughout the years, been generally a lot more loyal and supportive of them than the fickle American public they always seem...

I love that song. When I first read the title and song descriptions I was expecting something really lame. I was very pleasantly surprised when I heard it. Really cool bass, good lyrics, some soulful vocals from bono. It sounds great. I think it could become a b-stage classic. I just hope...

But it's all true! Let's see. This bit is clearly true. It was U2 fan sites such as this that helped me identify the pirates and download the album from them. :up: This is also true. The leak didn't include Fast Cars, and U2 fans are bringing down the sites where the album is hosted: a...

What he said.

All hail McPhisto!

Yeah. He probably gave it away as a wedding present to some guy he met on a pub or something. :D

There's really no point in making high bitrate files from a low bitrate wma source. Quality won't increase (it will actually decrease a little, as a side effect of the transcoding) and it will only generate larger files than necessary. That said, I agree with the general opinion that this is a...

Yep, it's getting ridiculous. I find myself singing bits and pieces of various songs at work (not just a song in particular, that's the interesting thing). And I realized that sometimes I'm singing a bit louder than I should. :huh: I honestly can't remember the last time this happened to me...

Re: Re: Unpopular opinion Me too. I think it's perfect and it definetly gives the song that Beatles-esque feel. Also, can I just say that Jick's post in this thread is the funniest thing I've read in weeks? Thank you.

This rocks as much as any album U2 has ever made or is likely to make in the future. U2 are not a hard-rock band. If you think they are, then I don't know what you've been listening to in the last 25 years, but it sure as hell hasn't been U2. U2 are, in the words of Bono, the world's loudest...

Pop, for now at least. It's an incredible album. HTDAAB seems very good and will probably continue to grow on me in the next few weeks/months, so that might change. But Pop will forever be one of my all-time favourite albums.

I'm a bit of a hedonist at heart, so I'd probably say this, but... I blasted this thing on my car today on the way to work and then back again when I came home. Monday morning traffic was terrible today. I mean, it must have been, because I arrived 15 minutes late. Honestly I didn't even...

Yes, we are the hard core fans. We're the ones who have all the albums, who've bought the best-ofs even though we already owned 95% of the material they had, the ones who buy the ridiculously expensive singles, the ones who go to the shows (some lucky ones go to multiple shows and travel quite...

I think that, unlike ATYCLB, practically every song in this album begs to be played live. I sincerely hope we get to hear a lot of them, even if that means sacrificing some old favourites. When you consider the fact that for many bands half as old as U2, every tour tends to become a Greatest...

Too late. The album is all over the P2P networks and there's nothing they can do about it. Once the cat is out of the bag there's no putting it back in. The worst thing they could do right now is to act against the fan sites. These are the people who, although they've listened to the leaks...
