Post here if you're still holding out for the album

[U2DMfan]

Somebody (an evil person) just sent me a download page with all 11 files listed and staring me in the face. It was unsolicited. They're trying to tempt me! I shouldn't...

Send me that thing! Zoots.

Now that it's being played on the radio and streamed on U2's myspace page you wont even let yourselves just listen to it?

I don't want my first listen to be on my shitty computer speakers on myspace or sporadically on the radio.

And just because of radio/myspace doesn't make me want to throw up my hands and say "oh well" and download the mp3s. I'm waiting for the CD release because I know how I want to go about my first listen, and that's what I'm going to do.

It ain't brain surgery, people.

The 256 transcode rip sounds horrible, as does anything on myspace. If any of you decide to break down, don't download anything less than the V0/320 rip if you want an accurate representation of the album.

 

[U2DMfan]

Send me that thing! Zoots.

I got it now Zoots, nevermind.

You guys lay off Cori too.

Zootles caved

. . . I thought he was holding out for the linear notes

 

[MMP]

I'm still cheering for you guys, right here from the land where the album plays 8 h per day.
Now, seriously. Hope you can make it until the release.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

hope you enjoy it

So far I have, we'll be waiting for you and others to join us in a weeks time.

Is Zoots OK?

Damn, it's not enough that I have to keep track of Bono, but now I have to keep track of Zootles too?

. . . I thought he was holding out for the linear notes

Some evil people corrupted him

 

[Rachel D.]

well, me thinks there won't be too many of us left so I say we divvy it up amongst us and then use the cash we *win* to meet up in dublin, in oh , what's say july some time this year

Sounds good to me!

There will probably be fewer than five of us left by then at this rate!

Stay tuned for more NLOTH Island!

< is living in fantasy land

 

[kafrun]

Only a little bit But just enough

 

[Purplereign]

love it

 

[lemans]

So, how many of us are left? Oh shit, please don't tell me I'm the only 'nloth-virgin' here.

 

[Purplereign]

nah . . . there's still a handful of us holding on to our virginity

countdown is well and truly on

 

[cjboog]

So, how many of us are left? Oh shit, please don't tell me I'm the only 'nloth-virgin' here.

Don't worry

 

[Zoots]

I got it now Zoots, nevermind.

Oops sorry. I saw your post just now. Did you listen yet?

Some evil people corrupted him

You and Mike! *shakes fist*

lol it's awesome though. I'm glad I did.

 

[Purplereign]

happy dancing

 

[walkon274]

I'm still here. Honestly though, this myspace thing is making it really hard. If I get through Sunday, I'll be set b/c this next week I'll be busy with work and won't be as tempted. This upcoming weekend will be easy since it's so close.

 

[Yahweh]

I admire you guys and girls for holding out...I am sure for most of you it will be worth it because this album is an amazing piece of art.

 

[Saracene]

I'm waiting until the album is released. I'm dying to hear it, but I won't cheapen the experience by download,

 

[VonBono]

I posted on here a week ago...ppl dropping out fast! Im still holding out.
The album is going to be played in full on Sydney radio tmmrw yet I will still avoid.

I waited in a line for 3hrs to buy Zooropa at 12am on the day/night it was released. I need another 'hit' similar to when I played that 1st track on Zooropa..... utterly amazing ....

 

[Galeongirl]

So, how many of us are left? Oh shit, please don't tell me I'm the only 'nloth-virgin' here.

Don't worry, there are at least 10 of us left I think!

 

[Galeongirl]

Now that it's being played on the radio and streamed on U2's myspace page you wont even let yourselves just listen to it?

Read more of the comments. Everyone still holding out here has a completely different reason than that. It's not about wether it's legal or really leaked or whatever. It's about the experience of going into a record store, buying the album and sitting on the couch with the booklet reading the liner notes while playing the album on a great sound system rather than just having a bunch of songs on the computer.

So yea, I still won't listen to it.


FIVE DAYS LEFT

 

[Galeongirl]

Zootles caved

What??????



You're joking right?




But Zoots! We were gonna have sex together with the liner notes! How can you betray me like this?

 

[kennerado]

I have no problem holding out, I'm gonna be playing cds in my car all week to avoid the radio.

 

[intedomine]

Nothing on the radio except ads anyway.......
