    I am both excited and annoyed at having to wait 4+ years for new material, my biggest concern atm is not the album, but the lead single, and I am keen to see how it is perceived by music listeners in general, let alone the fans.

    But it already seems, without a doubt that this will be their best album of the 00s, so I cannot help but be excited.




    Underwhelming indeed.
  2. Just listened to AB and HTDAAB, I'm getting more and more excited. I'm once discovering what a great band U2 is, and how they can never top an album like Achtung Baby. Greatest thing my CD player will ever see.
  3. I'm very excited, but I am not listening to U2 at the moment. I know once the album comes out that is all I will listen to, so no rush.
  4. ive been waiting for this moment for quite a long time. can't wait to listen to the new album for the first time. after i ve been in the vertigo concert in sao paulo i sure hope ill get the chance to be in one of the concerts.
  5. I am quite excited, yet I feel calm about the first single release. I guess it's my confidence in the band that it'll be something great once again
  6. Aside from the Bootleg Round Table show, I haven't listened to any U2 boot or album for a couple days, and I'm going to try not to for the next five days. I want a fresh listen after all the rumors and speculation that's been going on for the past year or so.
  7. Oh Yes!!!

    I started at the New Year by going to a U2 Tribut Band Show!! It just kicked it all off for me!

    I Watched the Hawaii Video again!

    Also It seems XMSirius has been playing a U2 Song every hour, when I hear it the DJ comes on and says "new U2 next week, New U2 March 3!!"

    The excitement is rising and the suspense is killing me!
  8. i can't bring myself to listen to anything but U2 at the moment...
  9. Listening to Kings of Leon, Snow Patrol and Kaiser Chiefs these days and some 'unreleased and rare' U2-stuff. I'm looking forward to the single and album, but I can wait and therefore I hope it won't leak.
  10. it makes me crazy 24 hours a day
    i want to hear the new songs i want to know the tour dates
    i hope it will not be in my summer holiday ....
    well if that happens i wanna go to see the show outside holland ....

    i want to see them perform ......
  11. I'm not in a very U2ish mood, but I'm pretty excited. It's been a long time. I am sure of one thing: if it's U2 what's written in the label of the new album, I will like it. I'm sure. Whether the album is astonishing or disapointing for the rest of the fans, I will like it. Therefore, I'm excited

    PS. Am I the only one staring at the sun? I mean, am I the only one who liked that Van Diemen's Land performance?
  12. Maybe a tiny bit now, im sure on monday things will prob expload lol
