Am I guilty?

Minute hands and second sticking...

There's something going on she might be missing
The world turns and we get dizzy
Is it spinning for you the way it's spinning for me

If you really read about the creative process going back a long time its Lanois who pushes them further musically, Eno is a genius at creating soundscapes and ambience, but he gets way too much credit as both producer and innovator with U2 because he's more well known. (Although it does seem like in terms of sounds that stick out, production wise this one is more steeped in him).

I have a question about the Bonus tracks on NLOTH. This is so I can make a decision on which version of the album to buy
I realise this may have been discussed on another thread but there are so many Damn threads that talk about the tracklisting, reviews, people who have heard the album, etc. Its hard to find the information.
So here's my question:
Do we know which bonus tracks are included with a particular version of the album?
for example, the iTunes Preorder gets you an exclusive bonus track. Is this bonus track on the $70 Box Set which you can buy from Amazon?
Does the $25 version of the album get you a similar bonus track or is there?
going to be something completely new on that?
Why does U2 management make it so difficult for their own fans to figure out how they'd want to spend their hard earned money? Its like they go out of their way to confuse people into buying the same album twice.
Sorry to ramble on...
Just a little confused !!

Great reviews... What's everyone got against the "Force quit, move to trash" line though...
The people who don't like this line are Mac haters.
No, it's just that your post was at the top of the page.
Haha, ok.
I think I really am getting dizzy and confused now. Time to step away.

Just because the way it's sung (as heard on the beach clips) totally fits with the concept of the song and the feeling of orders being given. It's just a suitably bizzarre line for a very adventurous song both lyrically and musically...

Umm why shouldn't we? Why do others hate it?
I don't understand the bashing of these lyrics.
And I find it funny how this reviewer is saying SUC is a classic and is quoting the line many other reviewers found horrible.

Don't know, is there something wrong with the reviews so far?

What's hard to understand? On paper they're ridiculous.
Thankfully songs aren't sung on paper.
MrBTH indicated that he could hear the lyric in the beach clips and thinks it works really well in context - that's fine. In fact, I hadn't listened to those clips very often but I just gave it a pass to see if I could hear it. My take is that while it's a silly line, it probably won't pull one out of the song when you hear it in context (and it seems like a pretty good tune, from what little I can tell).
To be clear, I'm not passing judgment on a song based on a few lyrics taken out of context, these just happen to be particularly questionable and I wondered what it is people "love" about them.

Pardon me for mentioning the obvious....but that seems to be EXACTLY what you are doing here.
Because I think a couple lyrics are silly I'm suggesting the entire song is bad?
I think the line about God crossing the street like a little old lady is silly too, but I kinda dig the 45-second clip of Stand Up Comedy that we've heard. I certainly can't say what I'll think of the entire song, but I like the clip and it even includes the silly line.
They're not mutually exclusive.
No, nothing wrong at all. And I guess there were Australian reviews, as well.
But if there are 50 different news outlets in the US that will eventually review the album, why haven't any done so yet? Just seems odd, I guess.

your direct quote:

silly and ridiculous are vastly different, so which is it?
My next line: "Fortunately songs aren't sung on paper."
I'm not even sure what you're arguing about.
Do better.

I'm not arguing about anything. I'm just trying to understand where you're coming from because you are saying two different things at once and it seemed like they were contradicting each other. I was merely trying to understand your point.
Its okay, I really don't care that much about it. And yes, I'll do better. I'll do better to ignore these posts in the future.

I even yanked that post while you were responding - just seemed like a silly thing to get on about. No worries.
