The Fly
The beach clips weren't that good IMO. Quality was shite so I really don't know how someone can have an opinion on the songs in the beach clips without hearing the real deal. To put it simply a good album obviously comes down to great lyrics and catchy tunes which were missing on HTDAAB (except maybe Vertigo). I'm hoping Bono goes off lyrically on this album and am really hoping the songs are addictive in that you really struggle to get the tunes out of your head. The band IMO are also under pressure to produce the goods, so its now or never.
And......I'm looking forward to jamming a few songs on the guitar which I haven't done since AB/Zooropa days
I agree the quality of the clips was crap, but it gives a glimpse of what the recard might sound like (From what I could make out on the clips they sounded very encouraging IMO).
