Don’t be such a mouth breather!

These are the same recycled comments over and over again. Knew all this already. And please stop with the grain of salt and only one listen stuff. Who the hell cares. If you actually heard it, just post your damn thoughts.
Spot,no need for the hostility.Please go listen to an unfamiliar album in a highly abnormal environment and come back with your takes.
I can't wait for you to share detailed lyrics, time signatures, and guitar tablatures.
This is the reason why some people would be hesitant to post their reviews! They spend a lot of time (when they don't have to) only to get people like you. Why are you so upset over her comments? If you have nothing good to say, better not say anything at all. You should be thankful she took the time to try and answer our questions. Most of us are very thankful!These are the same recycled comments over and over again. Knew all this already. And please stop with the grain of salt and only one listen stuff. Who the hell cares.

Not massively. It’s more coherent obviously and that build up towards the end felt more drawn out (in a good way). Preferred it to the live version but that could just be that it needs more practice. And once I know the album version better I’ll probably be able to appreciate the live version more too.

Very encouraged by the digsy review because her opinions on past albums and the songs so far on SOE pretty much align with mine.
Will try give a blow by blow of tracks but honestly very hesitant. It is just my opinion after all and could be the complete opposite of someone else’s opinion in the room!
To give you context - AB is my favourite album, although any would be my desert island disc (life without streets is no life at all), Pop completes the top 3. I don’t like HTDAAB although I did at the time, but can’t imagine any circumstances where I would go back and listen to it now. I like the front of NLOTH and the back of it and hate everything in the middle. I only listen to SOI these days for the end of the album (troubles, sleep like a baby) and for the acoustic EBW and crystal ballroom although I loved a lot of it live (raised by wolves for example).
From what we’ve all heard of SOE I will say I LOVE Blackout (even though the lyrics are naff, sonically it’s epic) think GOOYOW is brilliant and enjoyed Little things live. I bop along to Best Things but hate myself for it.
So with that all on board - and take this with a pinch of salt because opinions bend and change with each listen of a new album, and I’ve only had one - Love is all we have left, red Flag Day, Little Things album version, and 13 stand out for me (and then GOOYOW and blackout which I mentioned already).
Showman sounds like a Beatles track, lights Go home sounds like a Bomb track (although the version they played at the end for us which was orchestral I think was great!), Landlady is just typical u2. My husband reckons Love is bigger could potentially be a show closer.
And there you have it. And I’m sure in 2 weeks time you’ll all be listening to it ourselves going. “wtf was she talking about”!!! Ha ha.
So yeah, remember guys, it’s purely my opinion and it was one listen in very unusual overwhelming circumstances. Hell, I’ll probably read this in 2 weeks and wonder wtf I was on about!
I am I promise! I just have a good friend I still haven’t given a full round down - she’d be pissed if I gave random strangers on the internet stories before her. Let me get that out and then I’ll grab my answers off that - be easier that way.

. Great summary!So to summarize, unofficially, the reviews thus far(leaving out all songs we heard already)
Standouts/highlights(in my assumed order):
Red Flag Day
Love is All We Have Left
13
Summer of Love
The Showman
Not going over as well
Land lady
Love is Bigger Than Anything in its way
Lights of Home
This of course is only a summary of the reviews and not reflective of what we might like.
While i am exited to hear all the songs, the following are going to be “okay, here we go” moments for me when i have my first play:
Red Flag Day
Summer of Love
LIAWHL
Little Things
13

For the recording of BBC session, AIWIY is played with WALK TO THE WATER snippet.
This song has been snippeted at the following 2 shows:
Joshua Tree Tour
1987-10-11 - Rochester, New York, USA - Silver Stadium (19 songs)
ZOO TV Tour
1992-06-13 - Kiel, Germany - Ostseehalle (21 songs)
All in all, we've found 2 different song(s) with Walk To The Water as snippet:
40, Bad
Hesitant to post on a silly messageboard? Why? The constant couching of comments for the sake of interwebs credibility is tiresome. I hope her friend isn't upset that she posted something!

I have a gut feeling that we will all love or like 13.
Also...... we will like LIGHTS OF HOME ( string version ) more than the actual album version.
Any thought on Summer of Love?

Thanks for taking the time to write your thoughts digsy - really happy for you that you got selected to go!
That negative post was just ridiculous. Brings back the memory of when I posted on here in 2009 before the release of NLOTH after talking with Eno in a London street about the album, and someone accused me of making it up.
Had I been lucky enough to get through and visit the studio on Wednesday I would've probably thought twice about posting my feedback here, which is sad really.
Expected something ballsier and brasher and its not at all
