New Album Discussion 9 - Larry needs new arms, ba rum pa pum pum

[Rich79]

Let's say they feasibly could be releasing a song from each band member's disc. I think Adam, we could easily say it's going to be ISHFWHILF or Vertigo, but the Larry one I can't pin down (much like the man himself). My best guess is COBL or Stuck in a Moment, but ya' know with the way this band picks singles in the past 15 years or so, we could be looking at another GOOYOW push nobody asked for.

Two Hearts Beat as One could be a banger

Love that song. When they dusted it off in 2015, I might’ve gone a little nuts.

 

[Hewson]

ima just take your guys' word for it 'cause every time i log into my apple account they tell me i have the wrong fucking password

Try "Bonoisfat6969"

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

"you've previously used this password and can not use it again"

 

[Irvine511]

What is an iTunes? Is that Apple Music?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I don't know I stopped using it after they spammed my phone with that shitty album

It could also be a burger, if Bono has his way.

It didn't work for me because Apple hates me

(the feeling is mutual)

The WOWY clip sounds way more promising than pride. Although, I dislike Bono using his lower register for most of the song.

Weird how only that one particular clip is available to preview on iTunes. Does this mean new song reveal tomorrow?

1+1 does equal 2

Larry fittingly gets the "Why so serious?" treatment.

Not sure why there's an astrological symbol on Adam's face, although he does seem like the one most likely to ask some hottie what her sign is.

 

[clerks]

I went to iTunes. I'm now listening to it. I have heard it.

 

[dan_smee]

Interesting timing. I’d say they will release a decent chunk (5-8) songs before the release

The lower register is pretty much all he has these days.

 

[phanan]

I know Pride and WOWY are recognizable songs to the general public, but it would have been cool to lead with one of the deeper cuts.

Listened to the preview. So I am one that is nervous about them sort of having Bono sing quietly in a low register for almost all these songs and have it get old. But on WOWY, this feels right. His voice is low and loose, almost defeated sounding which fits the song, and liking the background musical choices here too.

Pride I'm giving a 6. This one could be up a few notches from that for me, unless it takes a nasty or cheesy turn.

We thinking a next Friday release?

Where can I hear WOWY clip?

iTunes Store.

 

[dan_smee]

Go back to the clips I uploaded - the lower register is not in every song - it’s on some songs, but there is a good balance

 

[lazarus]

There's only one register they care about

Yeah, I know there are some that are not. BD is not exactly that. But sort of a mellow version of the song.
If they release WOWY next, I would hope the third song would be one that is away from the style of the first two to give a little better idea of what's in store.

The God I believe in....
That was a theological mic drop. He earned some good will from that, c'mon guys

The last however many years have been a bit of a blur (I can't remember how his voice was faring on the E&I tour), but I think it's clear he's adjusted/learned how to get the best out of his current vocal range/capabilities. Seeing him on the book tour last year, he's not sounded that good and strong in a long time.

 

[Rich79]

I feel like it's gotten quieter around here since the release announcement...I feel everyone should have at least been back to things like "The Miracle Whip (of Joey Ramone)" by now.
