    One thing I can say for sure though: I don't see any song on this album as a filler - which is more than can be said for any other album the last 20+ years, at least going back to Zooropa.
    Oh... I'll get to play the villain!

    I see many of these songs as filler, it's just that they're too damn good filler... I think they're so good filler that it's in the top 5 albums to me.

    (And IMHO Zooropa's second half is as filler as it gets)

  2. I guess I kind of like Landlady. I really thought the album would be dark, because its about experience and they have talked about great and bad experiences. Especially recently

    For me, for a song to be filler, there is two conditions:

    1. There are others songs that sort of take the centre-stage in the album, delivering
    the whole message/narrative - leaving the current song to be not so important to the overall message of the album.
    2. (Sort of dependent on 1) I'd have to be ok with removing that song from the album. entirely - without the value of the album changing.

    Don't have this at the moment with SOE. Even Best Thing, or Showman which everyone seems to hate - I want them there


  4. I dont know how giving your opinion whether good or bad is not rooting for them. I think honesty is better than lying. Plus its a forum

    You’re correct. I don’t think not liking the album is rooting against them at all. I’m one of the few here that doesn’t like the new album.
  6. I should also say just to avoid any confusion when I said I’m glad that those who dislike the album are in the minority that is all I meant, I wasn’t having a dig or anything. People should express an opinion.

    Oh, gotcha. Nothing wrong with that for me
  9. Just got the vinyl. Sounds pretty good!
  10. I need to pick up my vinyl today!
  11. Dumb question (and I went back through a few pages of this thread, and didn't see it).

    I bought a ticket to the upcoming tour, which purportedly includes a digital copy of the album.

    How do I now acquire that copy?
  12. can't wait to get mine. figured u2.com would ship to arrive street date. shoulda known better. silly me...
