U2 - You're The Best Thing About Me
 Album:
Songs Of Experience (2017)

  1. Amazon used a slightly different version of the photo that Spotify used to promote it (no blue overlay).


    And iHeartRadio used another photo of the Hargen photoshoot I guess.

    Nowadays it's really easy to make fine tuned adjustments to tracks because everything is done digitally. It's a good thing for last minute adjustments, but it's also a bad thing because bands aren't really pressured to commit to a "final version" like they used to be.
    True, and true. Kanye did it with his last album, the album changed pretty dramatically from the day it was released to now.
  3. Probably more likely to be this.

    I mean, the song has been out for maybe half a day and I'm already listening to it on a source that isn't Youtube.
  4. The melody in the verses is lifted straight from EBTTRT
  5. exactly...

    Wow, these are nearly 2 years old.
  8. Some of the guitar work sounds like their cover of I Believe in Father Christmas.

    Anyone else get that?

    I expected a better song, this mix is all over the place. It lacks some coherency I think is my main critique. And a bit too poppy.

    But it's U2, so I like it after 30 listens. I think I will like the live version a bit more.
    Yes, I can see what you mean. My expectations were also a different mix. The song is there, but on a first listen it's a bit much to comprehend, methinks.

    Very nice, thanks Elwin!
  12. Wow I never even picked up on it. The songs are different enough that I can separate them, but yeah lol.

    I can sing it right overtop. "Give me ooooone more chance, and youu'll be satisfiiieedd"

    EDIT: They're a bit different actually, not exactly the same. The first half of the verse vocal melody in Real Thing doesn't have the same descending structure that Best Thing has.
