Haha, I didn't get 'stuck' vibes but probably because I went straight to mid-90s elton john when it started. It's the last 90 seconds that's basically "Love is Bigger" outro. If they can pull of songs like "little things..." or "landlady' "book of your heart" I'm good with that.

Works great for a kids movie but that Elton John-like piano that he does in his sleep and the last part is a lazy attempt at Love is Bigger. ..doesn't do anything for me. Without Bono it could be anybody's generic pop song and that's my biggest issue with it as it's just forgettable and hate to...

I want to trade my NYC June 26 (Tuesday) General Admission ticket for a General Admission ticket for the June 25 show since my friends are going to that Monday show. Ritesh

I'm not bothered that it was a One Republic demo or parts of maybe a couple of songs at some point by them. It barely sounds like that group anyways. I think I would be more bothered if U2 tried to create a "Counting Stars" or something in that vein in order to get a hit by having Tedder...

I think i listened to the live version too many times and then the studio version seemed flat. But then listened to it with headphones or just blasted it on the speakers over the weekend and it's seriously a great rock song. And that breakdown is awesome. Can't wait to see them play this next...

You know a song is amazing when you wish it would keep going. This is one of the most effortless-sounding songs they've done in a while. That warm guitar and Bono's voice...just wow :)

Ha ha. I liked it more in the last 2 minutes, seemed like they were in a good groove in the 2nd half of the song. Is there a song more polarizing than this in U2 history?

Agree, def. not a bad song. I actually was influenced by the negative reviews on here until I listened to it a few times and enjoy the song. No, it's not one of the top songs on SOE but not the worst song by U2 ever as some are proclaiming.

What were they thinking leaving this off the main album but keeping American Soul on there (though I enjoy AS, this is just better)? Amazing vocals by Bono...reminds me of the vibe of "If you wear that velvet dress" and pretty much anything on AB. I'm floored about how great this song is...

Would love to see the next album have some more of this feel. Love that its subtle and sounds so effortless despite interesting sounds and vocal effects going on. Brings me back to "Stateless" :)

Okay, I'm finally liking this song!!! And that's a major hook in this song with that 'oh' part. Can't believe I came around to this song in less than 24 hours.

Is anyone else listening to the album on a Friday night and ignoring friends and family?--asking for a friend

Listened to the album at midnight for the first time last night and listened to it twice today. Songs that I wasn't sure about at first like "love is bigger" and "lights of home" are growing on me. I would say songs that I find as excellent at the moment are "13," "Little Things," "Red Flag...

First listen....pardon the randomness of my first impressions! 1) Love is all we have left: Wow, was not expecting this from the fan reviews in terms of sound. Absolutely love this. After The Miracle from SOI, which is the only song that I regularly skip on that album, this is such a welcome...

Strange...I'm assuming you tried restarting iTunes? I see it in mine for the Deluxe & Regular for download.

Downloaded on Amazon...listening to GOOYOW and & onto American Soul. Good so far but not blown away by the album...YET :)

Ahhh, it's on iTunes but i pre-ordered on Amazon but not on there yet for download. Ugh....

Just a little over two hours in NYC until I can download the full album on Amazon. I rarely love a U2 album on the first listen or two and it will be fun to hear the songs based on everyone's descriptions and rankings on here! I have high hopes for Red Flag Day, Little Things, and Love is...

Less than 9 hours for us holdouts.....I'm both nervous and excited! Mostly nervous that it won't be as good as the fan reviews on the 10 studio tracks I haven't heard yet. But I think I'll be pleased since I like SOI a lot and most have said this is as good or better.

I've only heard the two other released songs and the live versions of Little Things so it will be interesting to see how I truly feel about this song when I finally listen to the full album on Friday. Right now, I love the intro and the song just keeps going at a great pace with some...

Got a GA for NYC! Sadly I'm going by myself since my friends got into the 1st show but at least I'm seeing U2 :)

I think I'll do my usual ritual in the digital age and download the album on Thursday night (pre-ordered digital deluxe on Amazon) and put on my best headphones and then HOPEFULLY work from home on Friday so I can blast it on the speakers. So far, I don't have any meetings on Friday so I can...

Isn't this is the thread for hold outs? Who else is still waiting for Friday?
