I'll also be buying the deluxe edition for the extra tracks. It's not so much about owning physical copies for me as I quickly digitize my album collection and put the hard copies in a safe place for storage. Being in between places means I don't really have a permanent space to display them or anything like that.
The allure of almost an hour of bonus material is probably why I'll be buying the physical 2 CD set. Plus I can import the lossless version onto my iTunes
Plus I have all the other CD's and most on vinyl so I might as well continue the discography.
Also, I'm really glad that U2 didn't make the same move that Coldplay did in making bonus tracks be a "Target exclusive." That really, really irritated me. So much to the point that I didn't even bother with their bonus tracks.
Well, some people might buy it because they collect CDs... I buy all the albums I like listening to... The ones I love most in vinyl... I mean, there is a huge wishlist/waiting list... But I do!
Totally agreed. I really don't want to read about band I don't like in a thread about my favourite band's album. I'm sure many would complain If I start to talk about for example Faith No More or Metallica and there is no difference...
I can't think straight anymore. This allbum is the ONLY thing in my head. I'm getting paid for just being at work. But my head is somewhere else. WORTH WAITING FOR? i think so.
