U2 - Invisible
 Era:
2010-2019
  1. The song, in so far as I can tell, is an instant hit with the general U2 fanbase. I think the bigger question is: how is it doing OUTSIDE of the fanbase? (A major critical point that the NLOTH "Buzz" failed to do).
  2. I heard it on the radio here in Virginia today on my bus ride home, so that's a good sign at least. It took me 2.5 months to hear Ordinary Love on the radio here.
  3. Such a good time to be a U2 fan
  4. It just stays in your head all day: na na na naaaaaaaaa na na na naaaaaaaaaa
  6. you devil, you
  7. I love this song. U2 is back !!

    My non U2 mate loved ordinary love. They said they wanted catchy songs and it seems that is where they are heading. I for one like it. Something fresh and different. We've had the 7 minute masterpieces now it's time for some real poppy catchy tunes


    +1 The word "poppy" doesn;t have to be synonymous with "shitty". I want an album where the songs can be played everywhere: in TV shows, movies, commercials etc.

    They also need to get on Ellen this time around. Everyone watches that show.
  9. ^ I don't even know what Ellen is, but I agree that they need a good bunch of songs that can be played outside pure musical environments (radios, TV music programs). Music that can get played in a non musical TV commercial, during a sport match break or whatever. And that si not incompatible with having other more experimental or less mass-oriented songs like Fez, Cedars or something else we haven't heard yet (the sweetest melody is the one we haven't heard, after all).
  10. They're definitely going in the right direction. Friends of mine, who are not even close to being a U2 fan, are liking the recent songs. Whenever Ordinary Love or Invisible is played off of my computer my roommate always acknowledges it and usually says something like "Oh, is this that new U2 song? Nice!" So at least over here, they're producing music that's being liked by people who aren't the biggest U2 fans!

    "I don't even know what Ellen is" is going down as a classic Sergio line O.M.G.
  12. she's a talk show host in the vein of David Letterman or Jonathan Ross btw super popular here she tends to have all the really "cool" acts and keeps it super light hearted.
