    Hard to tell after such a short time. If I would be forced to come up with something right now I'd probably put it on #5 - behind Achtung, Pop, Zooropa and War.


    5th or 6th for me, replacing Boy for War
  2. I'm intrigued by the thoughts being put about here - I agree with what Dan said about Gerard and Yeah seemingly putting forward mainly positive comments

    Main thing I wanna know is, does anything think that the album will translate live or whether it's an album's album, if you get me?

    it's 100% an albums album. NLOTH, Magnificent, Crazy, Boots and Breathe should translate well enough live but this is an album album for me.

    If they do manage to pull the material off in a live setting, I can't see how they will do it in a stadium.

    Willing and ready to be pproven wrong though

    Live is gonna be interesting, there's lots of instruments on there that aren't typically on a U2 album. I'm really excited to see how it develops live

    dont know for sure,
    we have Boots, Magnificent, iggiidggt, Was Nloth and Breathe i think are the best
    live songs...
    the rest are too much album songs i think. specially: CoL, MoS, UC, BB!

    Will be tough to set up some of this stuff live. I for one would think that tracks like Moment of Surrender, Being born, Cedars or White as snow can only loose live - a little like Stay did...
    Crazy, Magnificent, No Line, Breathe could work quite well though - maybe also Unknown Caller.
    But if they want to keep them close to the album atmosphere, they'll need a bunch of backing tracks...

    and Adam needs a mic.
  7. imagine 50.000 people singing: .....I'll ....Go... Crazy.. If ..I Don't ..Go ...Crazy Tonight!!!
    thats what im willing to see and hear..

    im definitly going crazy than....
  8. I think the band recognised the live setup problem early on so they just through iin all those bloody 'oh ohh ohhhs' to cover it

    Lol, that's my only problem with the album, all the oh oh ohs
    Strangely, Unknown Caller is my favorite song so far


    I know, his voice is waaay to gruff But Adam? That's not what I pictured...


  10. Leaked: New U2 Album Nearly As Exciting As Its Cover

    U2, No Line on the Horizon

    Official release date: February 27

    The Verdict: Even after five or six listens this morning, the songs on U2's No Line on the Horizon, which leaked sometime overnight, mostly just seem to blend into one long, interminable, mid-tempo dirge (the fact that "Magnificent," "Moment of Surrender," and "Unknown Caller" — the album's three longest, most interminable dirges — are sequenced together into one boring, twenty-minute block probably doesn't help). We didn't love "Get On Your Boots," but it's certainly more interesting than the only other two upbeat-ish tracks, "Stand Up Comedy" and "I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight," both of which are as clunky as their titles might imply. Good thing we didn't have our hopes up.
