U2start.com | NLOTH: General discussion thread

First listen:

NLOTH - sounds good.
Magnificent - can't say much about this
MoS - what I heard sounds amazing, promising
Unknown caller - can't say much
I'll go crazy - sounds single-worthy, curious
GOYB - ..
Stand Up - different
Fez - love the GOYB bit, love the music!
WaS - promising ballad, hope the lyrics are okay, atmospheric
Breathe - hmm, not much to say, must hear the full thing
Cedars - atmospheric, will love this one

Bono sings also very high on all songs. Sounds very different from the last two albums, which is a good thing. It sounds fresh and atmospheric.

atmospheric is the description for the 30secs clips imo

can only hope it stays that way once we hear the full songs.

No, they definetely don't sound like outtakes

Can somebody tell me if Moment Of Surrender is only instrumental song without lyrics or not?

Well, I'd like to write a little review:

No Line On The Horizon:
It's pretty good. Bono's voice is very promising, the refrain is very good.

Magnificent:
It's very U2-ish I think, I will like this one, and I really like this sound in the back. (sounds like 'A Day Without Me')

Moment Of Surrender:
Well, I don't know. ....... The title is very promising...

Unknown Caller:
I don't like this. I know it's just only 30 secs, but ... I just don't like it.

I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight:
Same as Unknown Caller

Get On Your Boots:
Not their best. Don't like this one even.

Stand Up Comedy:
This is good. This will hit in live I think. Political, but nice. A real Live Aid song.

Fez (Being Born):
I think this will be my favourite. It's really Arabic, and the Arabic culture is my passion. It's so rockish and electronic too, so this will be a really good track.

White As Snow:
I will call this Wake Up Dead Man 2. By the way it's good, it brings many emotion.

Breathe:
Good rock 'n' roll song. That's all.

Cedars Of Lebanon:
Fair, but I expected something else.

Of course, it's not my final opinion. Anyway, I'm waiting the album, I hope my opinion will change, while I'll listen to the whole songs.

people need to realise that the unknown caller clip is just the intro of a 6 minute song. I think from listening to the beach clip that this song has the potential to be the best on the album, especially with Edges solo at the end

i realy love Fez-being born!!!

NLOTH,Unknown Caller, Stand up comedy and Breath sounds really promising. but these are only previews, you can't say anything about them before you heard the whole songs but it sounds promising
