I notice that typically folks on here aren't all that keen on albums like War, or wanting the new stuff to sound like War. I mean, NYDay, SBS, Seconds, Like a Song, 40, Surrender, Two hearts... maybe it's because that's the album that made me a U2 fan, but i do feel it gets short shrift compared to the 90s records.
I know, this perhaps should be a post in a War appreciation thread, but i just was curious if other fans here would welcome that sound again. And I don't think HTDAAB had that sound, btw. Just because it was more rock. War had a distinctly Irish thing with the martial drums going on, a mood we havent seen from U2 much apart from maybe on Bullet.
ANyway---great times ahead. Can't wait for the leak ... or maybe it will be better if it doesnt leak. I still remember the thrill of only hearing a new u2 album in its entirety after buying it at the record store.
