But without the leak, I'd be upset looking at all the topics at U2start exploding and me still in the dark, you know?

Originally posted by cesar_garza01:I'm actually glad the leak happened because Friday is going to be a busy day for me and I wouldn't have the time to really listen to SOE and absorb the songs, lyrics, etc.

Yeah, and the fact that my dumb ass pre-ordered from u2.com and looks like they dont plan on shipping my vinyl until street date. Should've known a little more better...

I'm too obsessive, I go for long periods of time with my obsessions...

When I'm in U2 mode (like now and for the last few months), I really don't like to listen to anything else. When I'm sick of listening to U2, I just play Achtung Baby or Pop, until I want more U2 and go back to Boy or TUF or SOI.

But then, it comes the time when I'm finally done with it, and so I move to Pink Floyd, and it's the same story... I'll spend a couple of months listening nothing but PF.
Then it'll come James turn most likely.

And then, it'll be a year or more where I will listen to anything else in my collection or finding out new music, anything but absolutely nothing to do with U2 (seriously, I actively avoid listening to U2 or PF for months).

Luckily for me, this one came while in U2 mode for me.

You should've ordered the cassette.

Wow it’s so weird, you listen to music the exact same way I do lol. I have a small, sizeable but small group of artists I always go back to, and it’ll be for a few weeks/months and I’ll move on, always coming back to U2. So weird...I thought I was the only one who did this!

I too was in a U2 mood when this album hit and it makes a difference. I went to the JT tour NOT in U2 mode, but I was right back there as soon as I saw the stage

Another review. Not praising, not critizising (sp?), it's more like just describing.
