1. No, I was kidding. I'm quite optimistic right now and I even start to like thge hip-hop twist
  2. While GOYB to me was somewhere in "between" as in not great, not bad
    Their just "warming up", its just a feeling I have

    Amazon UK lists three versions of the "Get On Your Boots" single that's coming out next month. Here's the track list for the single:

    1. Get On Your Boots
    2. No Line On The Horizon (probably a remix)
    3. Get On Your Boots (only available on one version; probably a remix)

    The box set edition of NLOTH is down to $66.49 on Amazon.com right now, almost $30 off list price. You can see a jumbo photo of the box set in our forum.

    French fan site Sucking Rock and Roll tells us that Linear, the Anton Corbijn film included with some versions of the new album, is a series of 14 clips of songs and instrumentals -- 11 from the album itself, and then three additional music/video clips.

    Reader Declan M. tells us that HMV.com is selling an "exclusive" slipcase version of the new album.

    And reader Brian M. tells us that there's an exclusive Australian version of NLOTH with an "alternate version" of the title track as a bonus song. This is probably the same as the version listed above on the single.[/u]



  4. If NLOTH really is a concept-album, than it's understandable that GOYB is somewhat confusing. You need to hear it within the album.

    Nice Thanks

    HMV with their slip-cases.......
  8. someone posted I think when Boots was premiering, that White As Snow is probably Winter...I know that Fanning mentioned that song as being in a movie...was Winter slated to be in a movie too? The titles are close enough though, that track sounded interesting. Hope it's true!
  9. Looking at the song descriptions I'd say track 5, 6 and 7 are the rocky middle-part of the album. Opening with NLOTH and the 'magical' songs Lanois mentioned, than the three alternative rock songs and ending with the last four in style. Just guessing though.

    1. No Line On The Horizon
    2. Magnificent
    3. Moment of Surrender
    4. Unknown Caller
    5. I’ll Go Crazy If I Don’t Go Crazy Tonight
    6. Get On Your Boots
    7. Stand Up Comedy
    8. Fez – Being Born
    9. White As Snow
    10. Breathe
    11. Cedars Of Lebanon

    Got the same feeling.
    BTW Titel-wise 'Stand Up Comedy' makes me think of Acrobat...
  11. Originally posted by AnI listened to Chris Evans last night, he'd listened to the album and said he wasn't allowed to say anything about it. However he did say that as soon as he'd finished hearing it, his first words were "put it on again! and again..." he seemed to absolutely love it.


    From the topic on Interference, about this:

    Chris Evans (Radio 2 DJ here in the UK) mentioned that he's been invited to the Mercury Records offices in London tomorrow at 1pm to hear the new U2 album.

    He mentioned that the albums not quite finished (probably means that it hasn't been finally mixed or mastered) and he's not allowed to mention anything about the album once he's heard it.
