I think EBW in its stripped down form is an iconic U2 song.
Also, unrelated, EBW is almost 9 years old

aight, now I'm just straight up having a third life crisis. SoI came out right when I was starting my first job out of college and that feels so long and also not that long ago.

Ok. Seriously. Where is the leak? I try to be a good citizen. I pay my taxes. I push my shopping carts back where they belong when I'm done using them. Now, for some reason, I have to wait another whole day to listen just like the unwashed masses? I need to speak to a supervisor.

Both SATS and EBW are phenomenal in their stripped-down final forms. Edge is right, 100%. Internet guy disagrees, internet guy is wrong.

I am going to be pedantic. Edge didn't say that either version were better, he said they were more iconic.
When I think EBW, I think the single version. When I think SATS, I think the album version. I would bet most people do as well.

I called them final forms because those will be the only forms they'll be played live from now on. I love this band. There's nothing cool about loving U2 anymore. I don't do it for the prestige. When I tell people they're my favorite band, I get looks of sympathy. All that is to say, Edge is right.

There is no leak, there is no leak, there's only clips, there's only clips.

I haven't experienced this feeling since two days before Pop. At least I have the clips, which is more than I had then. Thanks a lot, internet. For nothing.
My Mom went with me to get POP album at midnight. At a place called strawberries Boston music store. I was too old for my mom to go with me.
I stayed up for 2 hours listening to it. Oh my AWIA stereo. Magic.

I remember downloading the POP album over dial up. I believe it took 16 hours. My mom story is her driving me to Tower Records to pick up Rattle and Hum. Also, holy hell AWIA stereo...that is a blast from the past!!

I got mine at Sam Goody with a very temporary girlfriend. But we drove around for like 4 hours after midnight listening to it. She probably knew it was no Achtung, although I insisted it was. We broke up literally right after the Popmart concert in my city because as Bono sang I literally had an epiphany she was cheating on me with a guy that was also there and caught one of Bono's signed beach balls. It occurs to me only now why I have a lot of hang ups with Pop.

T minus 3 hours 48 minutes here. It’s a school night though
Borders Books in Commack, Long Island. I was 16, so yea - I forced mom and dad to take me and listened to it on my fancy shmancy Disc Man.
Hey Aussies, got a leak?

No download card in the deluxe LP version that I can see...
Yep, correct me if I'm wrong, but U2 have only played the stripped down version of EBW live. Never the album version.

So MAYBE a leak in the next hour, but this close not sure anyone would bother

Oh there we go. Yep that works and this will suffice since I won't be able to listen this weekend.

Electrical Storm is an excellent chill version. Nothing really new or special but it's enjoyable. Guessing that will be a common theme.
Just listened to Streets - one of the best and most iconic songs in U2's catalogue, with that incredible riff.
A little disappointed to be honest. I wish they could have incorporated the riff into it somehow, whether it was acoustic guitar, piano, cello, whatever. It's an ambient track with a droning synth and Bono's vocal, and that's it.
It does seem like the more disappointing tracks are their biggest hits - Streets, One and WOWY all a little underwhelming.
