U2 - The Blackout
 Album:
Songs Of Experience (2017)
  1. I find this song a bit intriguing in that I can't "tag" it easily.

    It sounds like serious rock, in the lineage of Cedarwood, Fez, and all the way up to 80% of the War album.

    But then it sounds a lot like a dance track, which is a bit of the opposite of a serious rock song.
  7. It's the best opener for the next tour. So they don't play MOJR. I think this is a fantastic song. So intense live.
  8. We haven't heard the rest of the album yet! But so far, yes, this would be the best opener!
  9. So just saw on eBay someone selling The Blackout from RSD this year. It's a preorder, but selling it for $53.99 and $19.99 shipping. Ridiculous.
  10. 100% opener.
  11. The closest record store for me mailed me saying: we ordered the U2 RSD special release, but the RSD organisation is not sure if it will be delivered...
  12. I actually don't think so. I think it's more likely the encore opener or something. The lights are out, and it slowly starts up. I don't hear it as an opener. Once we hear the whole album we'll be able to tell though.

    Fuck I love this song though, not going to lie. It's grown on me quite a bit. It's super groovy, has some decent guitar work (that's mostly in the background, mind you), decent lyrics (I actually dig the whole "names" thing, I know many here hate it). Loving the "studio" version too. Larry should've thrown some percussion into the chorus though. Would've made it sound bigger.
