Songs Of Experience - General album discussions

I understand that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I thought this was going to be like... everyone is happy that a new u2 album is coming out, that we are getting the chance to hear 13 or so new songs from our fav band, we shall celebrate this.

Instead I see a lot of grumpy posts already bashing the album that hasnt come out yet Where does this negativity come from? Not liking one or two songs? Well buu-huu, too bad for you.
Are you looking for a new AB, JT, Pop? Well you are not getting that, dont you know that. Your not even getting a new ATYCLB, that alot like to bash aswell. You are getting a fu***ing Songs of Experience, a brand new album with brand new songs.

I am not looking for a new AB. I am looking for this... A new album to love. Like i love every u2 album. These past few days i listened to atomic bomb, leave behind, soi, nloth and was just wow, wow, wow and then I see alot here trashing those albums. I dont get it. Am I not objective enough?

And tell me this as i am interested, the ones that are old enough..when the first singles of AB, zooropa, and pop came out, were you saying it is going to be an epic album, a masterpiece, or were you trashing the albums before they came out. I really want to know.

Cheers.

Someone once quoted to me (Cesar?) that we as a fan-base can be quite critical of the band that we love, but we will defend them to the end to the non-fans. It's a love-hate-love relationship. But at the end of the day, there is no universal answer to any of the questions. If anyone tries to please all, they please none. Same would go for a certain group of Irish lads. You love a song? Great. You hate a song? Cool. You wanna voice your opinion? Cool. You wanna trash someone else's opinion? Not cool. Also, I've found that the moderators are 1) great at bringing people back in, and 2) you'll find a lot of people on these forums will have your back (BlueEyedBoy almost always agrees with me....lets get a beer).

So welcome, enjoy the gong show, and don't let the bastards grind you down.
