Finally we have an album: SONGS OF INNOCENCE!! DISCUSSION THREAD ONLY

[beachball]

Please start a thread in Music on the Internet - U2 Feedback to request the album.

This thread should be for discussion only! Also it takes 5 minutes to download iTunes people!

Please don't say that. My computer freezes when I try to download anything from Apple, Itunes, Quicktime....

I hope there are some U2 fans who are as generous as U2 tonight

go to "recently purchased", should be right there, on your itunes. then i hit download and it did.
it took a while for that to show up on mine, so open and close iTunes a few times.

Sleep like a baby tonight is really good! Nice guitar

So, the free album release proves that they aren't looking to have a #1 single or a #1 album?

 

[snutes1]

Raised by Wolves. Vocals like October. Disjointed like October. I like.

 

[bonocomet]

Yay! I really like Every Breaking Wave.

Itunes is free...download it first.

I know, and I use Itunes - BUT Croatian Itunes store has no music and it is impossible to download this album. I know why I am asking if someone can send it to me.

pleeeease... jurcic.marko@gmail.com

thank you!

I'm enjoying it so far.

I'm not sure I hear a single. Not that it matters to me (but maybe it matters to them...but it's free, so maybe not).

 

[chrissybaby]

[charleswise]

What program are people using for the pdf? Reader tells me the file is damaged.

The Troubles is the beach clip for 'Song for Someone', btw.

 

[prbiker15]

Every Breaking Wave brings a huge smile to my face.

 

[u2shamrock]

I haven't been on Interference in a very, very long time but saw on Facebook that this was happening...can't wait to listen on the drive home from work. One of the few days I hope traffic is awful!!

 

[Vox16]

People with iTunes issues, I just figured a way to get it...Go the store. On the right column is says "purchased." Click that and then click on the cloud icon on the album cover

 

[JUSTinPUSHPLAY]

Volcano has bits of "glastonbury' in it

 

[bobsaget77]

Every Breaking Wave is absolutely incredible.

 

[CosmoKramer]

[TIJERINO]

Am i really listening to a new fucking U2 album here? WOW

kinda expected - kinda unexpected.

 

[artdirector]

Sleep Like a Baby tonight = sounds like a song off of acthung baby

 

[Nick66]

Favorite track so far: Raised by Wolves
Least favourite: Iris

 

[snutes1]

I got chills with Every Breaking Wave too. I should be helping my kids with homework about now. Im usually Mr. Grumpy Pants at about this time. But Im listening to this on my desktop now making Texas Toast as I listen.

 

[trevgreg]

Volcano has bits of "glastonbury' in it

So far, in terms of traces of...

Volcano - Glastonbury
The Troubles - 'Song for Someone' beach clip
Every Breaking Wave - ditto

 

[womanfish]

I'm prepared to live by this comment in the annals of Interference history. This is FUCKING amazing! THis album sounds so fresh, so youthful, yet, relevant! It doesn't sound like 50 odd year old men having a crack at relevance, they achieved what I thought impossible - you can ignore that it is U2 when you listen and just enjoy. There is that texture and x factor that was missing from NLOTH.

I must admit. I'm often the first to hate on some of the bands stuff. But there is a brightness and newness to the sound. They actually were able to pull off going in a new direction, without it feeling forced, or like you said, feeling like they are trying to be relevant.

The intro to Iris, is very modern/indie sounding. There are some parts I'm not totally loving, but so far, it's all better than Invisible in my opinion.

A lot of background ooooooohhs and aaaaaaahhhs and harmonies that are kinda new and different.

Still taking in the layers.

 

[YBORCITY]

HOLY FUCK!!!!!!! EBW r u kidding me????

 

[popmartsg]

I can see why they needed a single - the songs seem great to me, but nothing stands out as a kind of epic, stand-alone, radio song. I hope they aren't discouraged because of that.

I totally agreed.

Can anyone figure out the lady vocals in Troubles?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I feel so left out
