    I don't get why people don't like Stand Up Comedy. It's a total jam. If anyone likes the Edge playing guitar has to like this song. It will be awesome in concert, if they play it.

    I don't know why so many people like Unknown Caller. I find the shouting and the Force Quit and Move to Trash stuff a little irritating. Like the start, though.

    I wasn't sure what to think of those parts at first either. It's grown on me in the last few days, but the song still hasn't completely connected with me yet.


    1. Breathe (my opinion hasn't changed on this song since the first time I heard it; it's outstanding, one of my favorites this decade)

    2. Fez-Being Born
    3. Cedars of Lebanon (best closer since LIB, another one of my favorites of this decade)
    4. Magnificent

    5. No Line on the Horizon
    6. Moment of Surrender
    7. Unknown Caller
    8. Stand Up Comedy
    9. Get On Your Boots

    10. IGCIIDGCT (Still like this song, just not as much as the others)
    11. White As Snow (same)

    The rest of us got the song.

    And it WILL be better live in stadiums, can promise you that.




    Yeah, all the people who have a great music taste hahahaha
    No really, I'm sure it'll kick ass next tour Just not yet
  4. Magnificent - (Brilliant into and it all kicks off from there, great guitar and good strong vocals) 10/10

    I'll Go Crazy if I Don't Go Crazy Tonight- (Love the lyrics, very true, this is a proper U2 tune) 9/10

    Stand Up Comedy - (Great guitar riff, funky, quite poppy but i love it) 9/10

    No Line on the Horizon - (High atmosphere all the way through, love the build up and the little break where it all kicks off again, superb) 8.5/10

    Moment of Surrender - (Incredible vocals used, larger than life, draws me in and keeps me there through the whole song, even though it is quite long, still amazing) 8.5/10

    Unknown Caller - (Very original, love the use of about four voices to create the perfect atmosphere and i really love guitar and the ooohs) 8.5/10

    White as Snow - (Emotional, i think the reference to christian beliefs in here are amzing, a well constructed song with a lot of sadness and emotion) 8/10

    Breathe- (Its the New York of the album, sounds great live and i do admire at, especially the rocking guitar, spoke lyrics, quite orginal, good alroudn song) 7.5/10

    FEZ-Being Born - (The FEZ bit is a bit dodgy, suppose its different, i love it when the being born bit comes in, reminds me of the Unforgettable Fire album in parts) 7/10

    Cedars of Lebanon- (Reminds me of Wake Up Dead Man, shows Bono's anger at some things, also another original style of song) 7/10

    Get on Your Boots - (Simular to Vertigo but no as gripping, the worst song but not that bad, at first i thought the lyrics meant nothing but i was pointed out that they may have a hidden meaning which changed my view, however i still feel all of the ten above are better) 6.5/10


    Overall 8.75/10, I Love It!
  5. OK, so let me say this first, i really don't found any song to dislike, no one, for me its like the continuation of The Unforgettable Fire, and that is my favorite album not just from U2, but in all music in general, and this is what i think

    Classic's

    Magnificent - (its just to powerful and emotional, it will bring up in joy at everyone in concert)10/10
    Moment of Surrender - (its a masterpiece, so much hurt and chance of possibility that i get every time i hear it)10/10
    Unknown Caller - (this one is for a force greater than any God, communication in actual technology in a language that we move in many spaces, i love this song)10/10
    Breathe - (this one represents the actual rock form in U2, awesome riff and great lyrics)10/10
    FEZ-Being Born - (the most out there song in the album, so real and fresh, incredible imagery)10/10

    Awesomeness's

    I'll Go Crazy if I Don't Go Crazy Tonight- (so Pop and in tune whit a joyful rhythm )9/10
    Stand Up Comedy - (great riff and in the face song, it will rock alive)9/10
    No Line on the Horizon - (amazing rock song, it will break every brain in the space) 9/10
    White as Snow - (slow and beautiful, the best lyric ) 9/10
    Cedars of Lebanon- (the best final song in all albums)9/10
    Get on Your Boots - (great single, and so strange to be a single ) 8/10

    (DAYLIGHT)

    Moment Of Surrender


    * If Winter was included, I'd have it at no. 4.

  11. It's way too early to do this properly.

    The best are Breathe, Unknown Caller and White as Snow, probably Magnificent too (I thought it was overrated at first, but it's a grower)

    Crazy Tonight is surprisingly good and the best of the middle trio.

    MoS and the album version of NLOTH are disappointing, but not terrible.
  12. Right now, I would say.

    1. Magnificent (pure class - so pleased this is going to be the next single.)
    2. Breathe
    3. Stand Up Comedy (someone's been listening to their Led Zeppelin records, I think)
    4. I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight
    5. Fez - Being Born
    6. No Line On The Horizon (although I think NLOTH2 is even better)
    7. Cedars Of Lebanon (best closing song on an album since "40")
    8. White As Snow
    9. Unknown Caller (Spoilt only by the word "shush" - surely "hush" would have sounded better?)
    10. Moment Of Surrender
    11. Get On Your Boots (why was this a single, I ask myself. Not a good advert for the album. I just skip to Stand Up Comedy)

    And if "Winter" was on the album, I would rank that at number 8.

    Despite my initial disappointment, every song is now well and truly in my head!

    Would be interested to know if anyone's collating the results of this topic!
