Thanks for posting this review here, DreamOutLoud! Yes, Larry Mullen has to keep a tight lid on things as the business overseer, and Bono has the gift of gab (and salesmanship!).. Motivated by the desire for greatness, I'm glad they keep producing great music!! I'm looking forward to hearing their new songs as well - always a surprise around every bend in the road, so it will be an adventure!!

I need to remember to be kinder to Bono in the future; it's just when he shows up unexpectedly at places, it's sort of out-of-sync with where my mind is at.

anytime.. gotta share the U2 love around here as much as possible.. See the last post of mine. We now have a official tracklisting of the new album!:cool:

The album artwork looks like make trade fair equal sign

i don't think it's complete. My guess those boxes are place holders for the text.

Ah, okay, still Monday, its gonna be a good day!

no kidding! it's going to be great!

 

I just got a new job and that day is my first day of work after being out of work for 3 months! So I won't get to hear the song until I get off of work. Apparently, a canadian dj will be playing the song as well as Dave Fanning in Ireland on 2FM (around 3am est).

Unlucky^ But congrats anyway

That's exactly what I thought :lol:

thanks! it's a great job with amazing pay and benefits..

hey all ur not gonna believe this one.. a dj in seattle just couldn't contain themselves and posted two short snippets of the new single Get on your boots...

 

listen here! http://www.1037themountain.com/pages/2284006.php

Worst artwork I have seen for a while

Worst artwork I have seen for a while

 

yeah, i am not crazy about it either. Hopefully, it will grow on me.

It kind of looks like the artwork for Ghosts I-IV or whatever that NIN album was called.

Less is more in the art world. Besides, it's what's inside the package that really maters most..;)

y'all I just posted the link to the new single leak (snippets) and no one has seen it? or have you checked it out even?

Album Art - Hmm...seems dry but is actually effective (lines above and below the horizon, but no line on the horizon). I suppose I was expecting the band on it since they've been on the last several.

 

Track List - Wasn't "Moment of Surrender" said to be 8 minutes? Not sure I feel great about it being the 3rd track, then.

 

Single Snippets - Unfortunately too brief and low-quality to really get anything out of it. Ah well, just a few more days...
