LP 13/Invisible: Please return, there's stuff to see!

[Miringeltje]

My apologies.

There was just so much adrenaline rushing through me, when I noticed the change on the website.

Oh, no worries, that was totally directed at U2 and their crew, not you

Phew, good.

I don't think we'll see any Invisible-related activity from now on, until the actual event. We got the teaser, news articles that many of us would rather not see ever again , and small changes to their social media accounts. The only thing we have to watch out for is if the video, or song are leaked (both of which I highly doubt, because they've been doing an excellent job keeping everything locked up!)

Anyone still excited, or looking forward, to this?

Weird. This is the smart link directly from the (RED) site: Connecting to the iTunes Store. and it doesn't give you that notification that I received from the smart link that you guessed at, Miri.

It gave it to me at first, but now that I tried again, it didn't.

Too bad the Target hacker doesn't post here, huh?

Yeah, I have the same thing here the connect4red smart link brings me to a blank page.
The u2invisible smartlink gives me the message that it's not currently available in the US store.

I do find it interesting it brings you to an iTunes site with the name "invisible-single" including an id number.

 

[Fullonedge3]

Mikal, who's to say that he doesn't?


Need. more. time.

 

[powerhour24]

I'm assuming if this this-download-window-will-self-destruct-in-24-hours thing is true that means we won't be seeing the full music video premiere online any time soon either, right? But then that begs the question when it would ever be released, if they plan a different song as the lead single, why put up the video for Invisible between now and then or after that?

The song title and this weird strategy is some kind of odd synergy isn't it?

 

[Miringeltje]

Yes, in roughly 43 hours it should start working anyway

iTunes sure encrypts their files well. It just might take that long. Anything to hear something that can't be seen though. I'll keep y'all posted.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Tell us if it's worth listening to.

 

[RockNRollDawgie]

Okay....I watched the "teaser" video. I hope the song is better than that
piece of crap video. To me, it looks like a generic stadium rock band video. All that
is missing are fireworks and beach balls being passed around.

 

[blujein]

The attitude of some of the people posting on this website is astonishing.

 

[BWU2Buffs]

U2 still has "a couple of months" of work on new album. "You don't want to let anyone down"

Two more months? It only took God six days and then He even took a break.

Just tiresome.

Bless you who still have enthusiasm for this new collection of songs.

I'm seriously thinking of waiting until I see the first thread titled, "New Album, Where Does it Rank for You" and if it cracks most respondents' top 5, I'm in.

 

[Danny Boy]

I'm still getting the "not available in the US Store" message. Pretty sure this will be the direct link to the iTunes Store when it goes live. I've got it stored in my Gmail account so I can quickly access it from my phone come Sunday.

[loudreamer]

let's just take a moment and have a collective look and laugh at our sorry asses...really.. fuck! the time we devote to this band!

Dude...you Rock.

Red just tweeted interference about the "glitch" so I'm guessing they've now fixed it.

EDIT: Yep.

To me, they were doing some testing. No way that was a glitch.

You're hoping a song sounds better than a video looks? Ok.

EDIT: Yep.

They better only read the interference twitter and not this thread.

 

[Danny Boy]

I'm sure they have an unpaid social media intern searching Twitter for mentions of (RED).

 

[Super Yo]

Nobody is going to listen the Dave Fanning show today?

 

[Miringeltje]

Not me. I hope to be in bed by then.

 

[rosephile]

Anyone feel like typing a rough timeline of who/where/what they were working on? Songs of Ascent, Rick Rubin, club album...I remember all these things "happening" but not when or any details (a guess at amount of music to come from it? time spent working together? idk, whatever).

Hee, thanks to your freakout, at least I know this computer already has itunes installed...

Hihi!

Mine too now.

I had completely forgotten about the Rick Rubin sessions. This band is unfuckingbelievable.

Just a note regarding the Rubin clips. The beach clips of those leaked July 2006 and they sounded like fully formed songs. I'm guessing the recording of those songs was just before that. The only new U2 song we got from that was WITS.
