The title track isn't as great as I expected, IMO (that's a little biased though because I never really liked the overall experimentation from Achtung Baby). But in terms in of Moment of Surrender, it sounds like elevator music; then again, it's a seven minute song so I can't really judge it right now. Same with Unknown Caller.

 

I like the guitar riffs in Fez...just Eno's random insertion of those annoying and weird synths in the beginning totally makes no sense. That's the stuff that makes me appreciate Get on Your Boots more.

 

But Magnificent...those superb Unforgettable Fire atmospherics give me a little more hope that U2 can still pull off another Joshua Tree soon. :)

"Previews are currently unavailable for this product"

yeah it does it for me too...

Try you-tube, several people have stitched the 30-sec previews together in videos.

According to Edge . He says: "The video is based around the idea that men have f***ed things up so badly, politically, economically and socially, that it's really time we handed things over to women. And I couldn't agree more with this statement. :D

 

can u not love him? :kiss:

They need to release the song Mercy.

They need to release the song Mercy.

 

No

They need to release the song Mercy.

 

 

i know it.. but doubt this will ever happen..:embarassed:

No

 

You don't like it?

 

I think they're among Bono's best lyrics. Very Unforgettable Fire like.

lets not forget "the sweetest thing" making a comeback on the 1980s CD. maybe mercy will make it when U2 release their 2000s CD and make it as a single too.

 

its a great song.

 

this next album better be good so there are enough songs for u2 to make some buck off the compilations.

And in a couple days we'll get another 15 seconds? So 45 second samples? :P

U2 is a good band,but coldplay is in my opinion much better.

When does the single come out?

This video has been taken down now, but I assume this would be the version released on the GOYB single, seeing as how that's very close to release.

Didn't get to hear it, but I'm sure I'll find it soon enough. :laugh3:

The version of No Line On the Horizon is an alternate version, likely the B-side for Boots single.

 

Its really good, sounds pretty cool and has a pretty upbeat guitar to it. Bono is singing like a god again!

Wait a sec...so will No Line on the Horizon be the next single or just a B-Side for GOYB (well, the second version of it)?

U2 Plot Five-Night "Letterman" Takeover

 

Maybe I'm just a complete sucker, but I get the impression U2 are really, you know, trying with their new album, No Line on the Horizon (out March 3 on Interscope). The cover is relatively mysterious. Bono's back in the makeup chair. And though first single "Get on Your Boots" suggests they're trying way too hard (as does the video...and the Grammy performance), I'll take that over the alternative (see: their last album). When you've been the biggest band in the world for a couple decades, simply trying at all goes a long way.

The creepily ageless Irish crew (seriously, the Edge might look younger now than he did in the "Numb" video) will dig in for an unprecedented five-night run on "The Late Show with David Letterman" starting March 2(viaAP). A Joaquin Phoenix rap cameo during U2 week is still being negotiated.

Considering the just-announced White Stripes appearance set for "Late Night with Conan O'Brien"'s February 20 curtain call and this U2 spectacular (not to mention recent "SNL" spots from TV on the Radio and Fleet Foxes) we seem to be living in a mini late night musical guest golden age right about now.

"...creepily ageless..."

 

LOL, ain't it the truth. and wow! a five-night run on letterman? I'll definitely be checking that out.

WHat time is letterman on? I might have to become an insomniac for a week.

I'll take that over the alternative (see: their last album).

 

Why is everyone still bashing Atomic Bomb for the hundredth time? It wasn't a bad album at all...sure, they tried to stay conservative in terms of experimenting like ATYCLB (didn't Coldplay do that until VLVADAAHF?), but it was definitely one of their best.

^I loved HTDAAB, I won't lie. I haven't listened to it for a while. But when it came out I listened to it constantly.
