I just think this is an attempt to get them back into the spot light in a subtle way with songs everyone knows and showing everyone hey Bono is kind of old, he sings differently now, but he’s still great!
Agreed. A soft reset.

Really isn't that bad.I got through a minute, very depressing re: Bono.
Really isn't that bad.
It is to my ears. That voice sounds just about gone.
I’ve felt this way before, of course, and it’s come back. But this is not promising. I get so worried over whether or not he can actually hit the note that I almost disregard the tone of his singing, which isn’t good at all here.
He’s taken the “I like the broken character of my voice” thing a bit too far.
"i only became a singer, like, recently"
The SBS acoustic is a bit jarring. There is no reverb or effects on Bono’s voice at all. This is very similar to what you hear if you listen to an IEM capture of their shows. Very hard to listen to. But it’s his raw voice and sadly, it’s not deliberately fragile. It’s the only voice he has these days. I still think he should be using his lower register more.
bono and edge: let's record a low key acoustic version of Sunday Bloody Sunday to honor the 50th Anniversary of Bloody Sunday.
interference: EHRRMAGHAHHHHD BUONER CUNT SING NO MUUUUR!!
I think what he’s really hinting at is why do you so harshly criticize and care about what is otherwise a chill production
Because I'm a fan of the band and it's a musical performance. It doesn't matter what the intention is, if I don't like the performance, I'm going to say so. And I don't "care" all that much, other than I saw it and said "wow, sounds pretty rough," and figured I'd weigh in on the U2 message board I frequent. I don't think I was particularly harsh either, I just said "his voice doesn't sound good," with a proviso that I'd heard it improve after sounding rough before. I even said it had moments that sounded good. That's harsh criticism?!
