U2girl, in those days the priority was to make the best record they could and because the records were so good U2 became bigger than life, especially in the States. That creativity and succes can go hand in hand was proven with records like Joshua tree and Achtung baby. It's not that I don't...

I am sorry to burst your bubble but charts have nothing to do with a record being a classic or not. Beautiful Freak from the Eels is a classic, Smashing Pumpkins with Siamese Dreams is a classic or Faith No More with Angel Dust. If you let the charts speak for themselves Christina is making one...

First of all: I love U2. I grew up with their music. The first single I bought was a live version from I will follow from Pinkpop( my first record was a Kiss record but that is something I try to forget). The point is that I feel that because U2 wants to appeal to a bigger audience and because...

It's a bit of a joke that U2 is putting so much effort in promotion just because they want to compete with Christina and Britney. In the past they didn't do talkshows or other irrelevant stuff and they were still very popular with the underground scene and the mainstream. Nowadays they go for...

The quote is not mine but from journalists who have heard the new record and I hate to say it but the new Coldplay single Speed of sound sounds incredibly good. Sounds a bit like when U2 worked for the first time with Eno and Lanois. I miss the days of The Unforgetable Fire and The Joshua Tree...

What guitar is Edge using for "the fly": Gibson or Fender?

Great song and very different from the rest of the album. Cool stuff.

Can you please e-mail the songs to me? jauffret@wish.net

Could you send it to me too, please. Thank you very much. jauffret@wish.net

Thank you.

On HTDAAB u2 is doing classic u2 with a perfection not matched on their previous records. No song skipping on this record because this 12 song beast has no weak links. The only drawback is that when you hear the new songs you immediately wonder if you haven't heard them somewhere before in some...

Should have been on the album. One of their best songs.

HTDAAB is the record I have been waiting for. Achtung Baby was a fantastic dark record but HTDAAB with songs like "Sometimes you can't make it on your own" is the sound of a band turning itself inside out emotionally. I can't stop listening to it. It's no Edge record or Bono record. It is music...

I promised myself I wouldn't but I downloaded the whole album and AYGWF and made me a cd. I am so weak.

I am getting the 3 different versions of Vertigo on monday. That and the very apropriate "Are you gonna wait forever" are going to help me hold out till monday 22 november when the deluxe version is in the house.

Yes, poor me...

I am not downloading it. Everybody has to decide for him or herself and if you want to download it fine but I will listen to it in two weeks.

Great u2 song that sounds more like a demo than a final mix. The Edge is playing some very cool guitar and I think Bono sounds pretty good.

I only heard vertigo and one beach clip. Only two weeks left.

Great reviews and very well written. I love the part about The Edge being at the top of his game. He is the man. Those germans must have been listening to another record.

Let's put this post to rest. The guy gave his opinion and although I thought that I was reading a review of the new record of german schlager champion Heino it's not that big a deal.

I don't mind if you liked the record or not and I am certainly not jealous about you hearing it before I did. Good for you. I am a generous soul. Would I have been far more excited about your opinion if you gave it a rave review. Sure, nothing human is strange to me and I probably would have...

Those were big reviews with a lot of details and even bigger opinions about how crap HTDAAB is after just one listen. These guys must be a couple of Einsteins to pull that off and after reading their reviews nothing points in that direction.

No, I'm not the jealous type. Giving an impression is something different than those elaborate reviews after one listen but if you enjoyed them good for you. I especially liked the 3 out of 10 remark. Who said the germans have no sense of humor.
