So after a month with the album, which are your favourite songs? Do you have a ranking?

Originally posted by katherine94:

1.Unknown Caller-
2.Breathe
3.Cedars of Lebanon-WOW, is all I can say
4. No Line on the Horizon-what a great opener, I love Bono's voice on it
5.Moment of Surrender-I love this song, it's so beautiful, and it only took one take!
6.White as Snow- Took a while to catch on, but now I love it (French Horns are nice to )
7.FEZ-Being Born-U2 needs to do more songs like this
8.I'll Go Crazy if I have to type out this whole title-Nice catchy pop song, but I don't want a whole album of it
9.Stand Up Comedy- I love this! It's an awesome Zep-like song, and Led Zep are gods, so combining them with U2 is always good
10.Magnificent-the intro is the best part, but it's not a bad song in the least
11.Get On Your Boots-This is a great song, and I think it shows how wonderful this album is when I think it's the worst one on there lol

Unknown Caller is my favorite song by U2 now, seriously, it's soooo good I ranked it a few weeks ago:

Ahh, interesting that you have Magnificent ranked so low, most people here have it as their top 3.

Even I originally thought it was rather overrated a bit too one note, but it grows on you (especially if you play it loud), now it's one of my favs.

I don't have a full ranking as yet, but my top two songs are Breathe and Unknown Caller followed by White as Snow and then Magnificent.

I never really got all the hype for Magnificent, it's a cool song, I like it, it'll probably rock live, but the intro is honestly the best part. After that, it's just okay. I flip-flop with Magnificent, sometimes I want to listen to it, others I'm just like "meh" I'm sure I'll grow to love it
Breathe is amazing, I loooooove that one White As Snow is beautiful

Yeah, Breathe is fantastic, I love the three part chorus and the arabic cello and piano and the great Edge solo.

It's like the sequel to Miracle Drug or BD or something, similar kind of theme to it.
It's probably the most HTDAAB sounding of all the songs on NLOTH.

Originally posted by katherine94:[..]
As far as sound, yes it is like HTDAAB, but the lyrics are from something else entirely

Originally posted by vanquish:[..]

The verses are very different, true, but the chorus could have come from HTDAAB.

The song also references Miracle Drug with the 'songs are in our eyes' lyric.
