  2. Check your mailbox, Lad. It's there waiting for you, in the form of the "Smile" Chile Only Promo. Contains, amongst other things... "Mercy".


  3. Along with the completely authentic cover too. I think that's where I got Smile and Mercy from as well.

    I agree, but I think track 2 'Breathe' is quite good (though not their best song ever as Eno says) , it sounds like a ATYCLB track. 'Unknown Caller' ie track 1 is breathtaking though.

    4 'Magnificent?' sounds a bit boring on the beach clips, but has probably improved since.
    Track 3 'Get Your Boots On' though sounds silly, the chorus is crap, and track 5 is plain boring.
    BTW Anyone know/guess what track 5 is?, it's mostly acoustic, sounds like something you would sing sitting around a fire at a beach.

    And with regards to the whole Mercy not fitting on the album, it could, it's not impossible, the beach clips sound much like HTDAAB/ATYCLB although taking more risks.


    track 5??? where is this, imo clip 2 is best (only cause i can hear most of the lyrics), i agree clip 3 is shit, if thats the 1st single i wont be happy at all, hopefully theyve changed the song alot since that clip was taken.
  5. If track five is for an acoustic sound that Vanquish refers to, then it may be Winter, going by the description given.

    6 minute ballad. Acoustic string laden ballad about a soldier in the snow in Afganistan. Will appear in the new film 'Brothers' starring Tobey Maguire.


    Which clips are we referring to? Anywhere to get them?

    Maybe "Mercy" will be there, maybe it won't. Maybe it's there but altered with different lyrics, maybe not. Maybe it will be a B-Side, and maybe not.
    but one things for sure, wear sunscreen

  7. After listening to HTDAAB for the first time in a couple years tonight I have to say Im a little more than worried about this next album. It really seems like U2 just mailed the last record in, its weak from all four corners. what a shitty bunch of songs, i seriously dont understand the logic behind it getting album of the year. I listen to every other album aside from All That regularly. HTDAAB just sounds like fuckin DAD rock. the songs have almost no creativity and anticipation, the only real song on there is Crumbs and even that one has a cutesy tinkerbell sound to it. and they didnt even play that one on the road. that album makes me think they lost their way and im afraid if this new one shares the same 'energy' then you can stick a fork in them. they cant survive another cupcake album. and sadly, the description of the songs from Q dont do much to comfort my fears. especially the part where it mentions Will I am. will i am sucks.
  9. I think mercy and the others wont make it. I think this is a bit more realistic than the one above.

    1. No Line on the Horizon [Punk Version]
    2. Crazy Tonight
    3. Stand Up
    4. Get Your Boots On
    5. Breathe
    6. Every Breaking Wave
    7. Moment of Surrender
    8. Unknown Caller
    9. Winter
    10. Magnificent
    11. The Cedars of Lebanon
    12. No Line on the Horizon (Alternate Version)

    plus a couple more tracks we haven't heard of yet.
  10. I think Only Love or For Your Love either became Magnificent or Every Breaking Wave.


  11. That's already been stated, as Magnificent. The new question is; what is the last clip?

    With regards to your 'tracklisting', why would they have two versions of NLOTH on the album???
    It's probably going to be 11 tracks (unfortunately), so can people stop all the rampant speculation on tracklisting, and just stick with what Q reported, for the time being.


  12. That seems to make sense. None of the other song descriptions seem to fit the clip--the only ones it could possibly be are Winter or Cedars, though it's not stated exactly what Cedars is supposed to sound like. I also don't hear the last line that Cedars is supposed to have-- "Choose your enemies carefully cos they will define you."
