    So true. Makes me wonder what would happen if U2 released music under a pseudonym and somehow managed to mask Bono's voice.
    That's...pretty damn accurate, actually.

  2. JUst opening the LP why do I have 2 x blue cyan dust jackets as well as the standard black ones?
    Confused.
  3. The subscriber gift vinyl had that recently too....the one from the Boy tour
  4. Is it a mistake?

    Regardless of what I think about LAPOE ( ), my point was that this time Bono didn't label their tracks: Syria's Civil War or Refugees Drowning. Hell, I thought Red Flag Day was about something else (more on the article we're preparing), so the heavy themes were presented very subtlety in SOE and focusing on individuals, not on big statements, as Bono loved circa 2000-2006.
    okay... just wasn't sure why did you mention me now I get that lol
  6. Sorry, U2 needed a reboot? From what, their best album in 20 years?
  7. What an album. I'm quite blown away. That this group, 41 years on, can produce songs like this... I thought I would be happy if they managed to make one REALLY great song on this record, but they actually made... at least six or seven. I mean, the melodies, the soul, the dignity and the feeling of SOE is something quite special. Also special to see the reaction from the U2 community. I'm actually in tears reading a lot of the comments here and on twitter - how much this means to us and how it is bringing us closer to each other and the band. That's something I didn't believed I would ever experience again, since becoming a fan during the Zoo TV era.
  8. Has ANYONE found a way to watch that "Liner Notes" small documentary about SOE that's only on Apple Music ?

    I'm in France and iTunes keeps bugging out, plus it seems you have to subscribe to Apple Music to see it.

    The short clip on facebook has what sounds like a very atmospheric/electronic take on The Showman, I want to hear this !

    I watched it today on Apple Music. So amazing! Bono reads the Linear notes with various different mixes of the songs played in the background. Very cool.

    Now I just REALLY want to watch it. To hear the different mixes. I guess it'll never be available publicly...
