Seriously I've tried. Don't get me wrong... I love many songs on this album. Hell, I even really like Boots still. I also REALLY want to like this song. I even went into my first listen with low expectations because I knew the hype I was reading on these forums were setting my expectations...

This is quickly becoming one of my top 3 u2 lyrics of all time....

I've felt like I rediscovered the Pop album recently. Although I do like ATYCLB and HTDAAB, anyone else feel the new freshness of Pop again? I feel like its the rawness and unfinished edges are the kind of direction I wish the band would explore again. If God Will Send His Angels turns out to...

They just played a part of Vertigo! :drool: I guess this is just a preview of what will be on GMA tomorrow...

How were all of your experiences with the sound at the United Center? Post where you sat and how it sounded here... The Vancouver acoustics complaints had me a bit freaked about the sound at the UC. I had section 204 and could decipher what Bono was saying pretty easily tho there were some...

There were singles available a few days ago and then ran out, but they seem to be back up today. Found 100 and 200s available. Go go go...

What are your general opinions on listening to bootlegs for each show as they come online the next day or so? While its exciting to be able to hear the show hours after it happened, I'm fearing burnout for when the tour swings around to my area. I've managed to not listen to a few songs...

One month to Chicago! Only one more month to Chicago 1,2,3,4! It's been a long time fellas... If the last tour was any indication, these should be some great ones. Bono's birthday is on Chicago 3, and they really mixed up the setlist for Chicago 4 during Elevation. Given that we've heard...

9:07 pm: VERTIGO **FOLKS - PLEASE DO NOT REFRESH TOO OFTEN. YOU ARE KILLING THE SERVER. POSTS WILL BE COMING EVERY 5-10 MINUTES, SO NO NEED TO REFRESH MORE OFTEN THAN THAT. ** Setlist is already changing, and we're bringing down servers....

Everyone quiet... If you listen out your window very quietly, you can hear the beginning of COBL... it's faint but it's there... :shh:

:rockon:

i'm imagining the stage setup will be pretty similar to elevation...here's my question for those of you who have sat in the first level seats during the elevation tour that directly face the stage from across the arena (not the seats that are behind the stage). were those seats obstructed by...

Who's coming with?

Anyone notice when Bono says "I'm not broke but you could see the cracks" he seeems to almost forget his line between "not" and "broke"? This has happened both in the BBC sessions and the Brooklyn Bridge concert...just thought it was odd...

What's your favorite?

Sorry for being a bit behind but I remember there being an album listening and discussion with the band back a couple friday's ago in NY. Many radio stations (like XRT in chicago) were giving away tickets to it. Was anyone there? Is there a thread about it?

From u2log.com:

Give me the one song and year that hooked you to :larry: :adam: :bono: :edge: For me: Staring at the Sun, 1997

I was so eagerly anticipating the release of the Live Aid DVD to see U2's performance and finally purchased it Saturday afternoon. So often I have listened to the less-than-optimal mp3s of their performance but to finally see the video in high quality is just amazing. It is so great to see...

I am a 9-5 web/multi-media developer. I work in front of a computer most of the day (when I frequent this site the most). I am looking for a career/life change... anybody doing anything really exciting right now or just switched careers and enjoying it? Please suggest....

Anyone else notice the opening drum "taps" sound like a ticking clock? Wonder if this was intentional...like counting down the last minutes of your life, etc.

I'm wondering if there's anyone else out there sharing a thought I had...but after listening to the latest HTDAAB tracks, I'm beginning to feel like Joshua Tree is overrated, and to a large extent is held in high regard only because of its place in U2 history (being the album that vaulted U2...

I'm sure its been started on another thread somewhere, but what was the first U2 song that reminded you of the new songs? Here are a few of mine... Vertigo is the new Elevation LAPOE is the new Bullet the Blue Sky A Man and a Woman is the new Love Comes Tumbling One Step Closer is the new Grace

After listening to these songs, is it just me or does it seem like the mixing/production of these songs blows away any other u2 album in the past? Edge's guitar sounds particularly vibrant in a song like OOTS for instance. I know many share the sentiment that Enos/Lanois really screwed up the...
