ok... here goes... just translating what i see - i don't take any responsibility for opinions/accuracy of content/titles/information therein blah blah disclaimer lmfao
Poster’s first post:
“Blimey! Well i don’t know about the album but the single pretty much blows your head off! They cranked up the cd at 10.30pm for The Edge’s bday in Eze, followed by fireworks over the water. Those who want rock (without clochettes ??) [translator’s note: “little bells”?? not sure i’m missing something here?? but havent got time to check properly]
will love this song, a mixture of vertigo in terms of rhythm and Lady with the spinning head in terms of main guitar sound (with a hint of Acrobat). i'm not saying it sounds exactly like all that, but it's just the vibe.
Just listened once but it's looking good!”
in response to question re. innovation:
“I can’t really say if it’s innovative, I’m not so sure, but it was only the single.”
another post by same poster:
“4th listening... title... Sexy Boots, which Bono keeps saying over and over.”
another post by same poster:
“another song now, the one with Surrender i think in the title. Superb ballad. Really! A bolt from the blue/bombshell [translator's note: poster says “
une bombe” but i havent got time to think too hard or check properly so sorry if my translation doesnt make sense!]
! Quite innovative.
Sorry i havent got a recording device.”
another post by same poster:
“4 songs, and not a hint of clochettes [translator's note: these damn “little bells” again...?].
But good guitar parts just how we love them.”
another post by same poster:
“And a 5th song! "if i don't go crazy" in the lyrics. I think the title might be the one with "change of heart".”
same poster again:
“heard 7 tracks and quick snippets from 2 others tonight. Moment of surrender starts like Stuck but ends 1000 times better.
.... The tracks we heard really sound good.”
last post:
“will come back to this point when i’ve got more time. But re. “innovation”, i wanted to say what we heard wasnt over-revolutionary but there were new sounds for a U2 album...”
