Songs Of Experience (2017)
  1. No need to play it personal He's got the right to say his opinion too (although I don't agree with it)

    They clearly write a song they are happy with otherwise it would have stayed a demo but to seemingly work and work and work on it doing multiple mixes and adding bits suggests an insecurity in the same songs. I'd love an insight into the bands writing and post production processes but I could nearly 100% guarantee that the end product is quite far away from the raw footprint of the song.

    Same happened with Magnificent and Unknown Caller when they were teased in the Fez sessions. So close, yet so far away.
    Their mindset fascinates me. The consistently biggest band of the last 30 years, yet they've seemed to lack confidence in themselves for the better part of 15 years now
  3. Originally posted by Ricku2:yeah, I'm surprised to see so many negative comments. Just as everywhere, being negative is probably the best way to show your 'expertise'. Well, I guess I'm a fool because I really like it, certainly as a first single.
    People have a right to an opinion

    Oh wait it's 2017... Like it or don't say anything.
  4. Hm, I don't dislike it, but I like Blackout and Little Things much more
  5. Will anyone be recording the series of interviews the band will be making today???
  6. Aw well. I din't like it but at least it makes me feel something. It might be frustration but I guess that means I still care.

    It's like having a crap dog. It might still shit on the floor and not do any cool tricks but you still love it unconditionally.
  7. Originally posted by bartajax:I think it's okay, nothing special but I don't get the cutting and don't get it. Sounds like they weren't ready and got some last minute mixing done.
    If you look back through earlier pages in this thread or maybe the album one that's exactly what you'll find
  9. Originally posted by Rockstar:Wow, so much negativity. Some of you come off as such pretentious music connoisseurs, definitely not U2 fans. Some guy, that probably contributed nothing compared to U2 in his lifetime when it comes down to creating something, listens to it once and is all alpha and omega towards everybody how bad this is.

    Again, what are you doing on this message board? Been reading here for 10 years and haven't seen so much negativity before.
    Agree. Here as well as on interference, negativity all over the place. But then again, it has always been like that with every new album release: haters gonna hate and they'll be the ones to shout it out as loud as they can.

    I'll just repeat I really love this to add some balance and I actually like the contrast in the different parts of the song. Loving the bass part, loving the fact that Larry didn't listen to the Kygo mix too much and found a way to keep it interesting. Loving all the soundscapes Edge pours out of his guitar. Loving the uplifting sound of it. I think I even love the lyrics. Liking this better than the Blackout.
  10. 5th listen and the song sounds more and more cohesive.
