In Canada we get crappy commercials...not the BIG superbowl commercials. It sucks.

The new video for "Boots" is very cool. I am liking the song quiet a bit. I can't wait to hear it live. Like others have said, "Let me in the sound" is a very cool section.

Hilarious video

So in spite of me tuning in and out of the game repeatedly, I caught the ad. Just the end of the song playing while some player makes a mad dash with the NFL being advertised. Nothing big.

Yeah, I was hoping for something other than GOYB's. That's the impression I got when they said the song was "new".

So it was only GOYB? Lame.

Damn hers the new vidoe for the song.....no idea if its been posted.

Hmm.. maybe they really did need some new inspiration after all?? But what musically could I have offered them?

Anyhow, there's always more new music to add in time.. What sort of sound was everyone expecting from U2?

aboot time its released!

i cant say i like the music video, but it did give me some insight into wtf bono is talking about. this is always good because bono is a tricky man. you cant trust short men with big ideas. its nice to know what he's talking about.

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

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ITTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!! :P

Again I'm at a computer without audio. Not sure whether I'll listen to the previews or not, but for those who have...thoughts/feedback/impressions?

title track sounds good,

so does unknown caller, stand up comedy, and cedars of lebanon

 

but really, what can you tell from 30 seconds?

I only listened to each clip once so that I wouldn't keep them stuck in my head and so that I wouldn't be driven to insanity wondering what the rest of each song was like.

 

Much of it sounds pretty laid-back. Though I seriously have no idea what's up with "FEZ - Being Born", which sounds experimental to the core. "Stand Up Comedy" and "Cedars of Lebanon" strike me as the "statement" songs judging by a few lyrics.

 

But yeah, that's all I'm listening to until the inevitible album leak in the final week of February.

i dont like how a lot of the songs seem like bono is just talking and not singing.

Yeah, I'm not going to torture myself with 30 second clips haha

Yeahhhhhh...about that

With nothing to lose, I checked out the previews. Even with 30 second previews, you can see what the band was looking for. It's at least twice as experimental as Achtung Baby, and I really don't think they should have went that far. :\

 

"Breathe," "I'll Go Crazy...," and "Get on Your Boots" (Not kidding, I actually think it's actually good now compared to the stuff I just listened to on the 30 second sequences) are 3 of the 4 definite standouts I can think of at this point. I agree that in many of the other songs, Bono is talking a lot rather than singing which is quite a disappointment IMO. What I also didn't like was "Stand Up Comedy" with U2 taking on the funkiness of Lenny Kravitz (right...) and "Fez-Being Born," where it sounds like Brian Eno got really high and fucked the thing up. Seriously, dude.

 

What U2 needs to do next is release "Magnificent," ASAP, as in NOW, if they want to get a little more appreciation from the music audience for their work in NLOTH. It could become the Jesus Christ of all rock songs.

LOL I have to admit I went over the 30 second clips just now as well, and I have to say that it sounds a lot like I hoped it would. The opening three tracks, as the reviews said, sound tremendous. There are clear shades of Unforgettable Fire and Achtung Baby throughout, with some of the wonderfully ambient, Brian Eno touches that I'm a sucker for.

 

I love the first four altogether, and especially the FEZ intro on track 8.

 

"Get on your boots" is still weak sauce IMO. Almost feels like they added it to the album condescendingly to attract the younger crowd. Although I do understand that the first three will be too long for radio play, and some of my surefire faves like "Unknown Caller" with be too boring or ambient.

 

But these previews have definitely steadied by uneasiness about their lead single.
