You may not be serious but I am. KING of this site is best bet leader.

ALL HAIL KING TRON!

I hope the new stuff has aggression. Everyone loved that song they played about Mandella. Godspeed Mandella and all his work but you know who didn't love that song?

Probably every person who holds this as their favorite U2 song, including Bacon. :greencheck:

 
Not hearing any aggression so far........

I wanted to like "Iris" a lot. Great intro, great outro and some great stuff in the middle but in the end it sounds like parts that don't fit.

"Song For Someone" works much better and has a good chorus but it's U2 Light. That's the best way I can describe it.

I'm anxious to hear the rest but I'm tired.

The whole U2 album is free on iTunes by the way.

New Interpol out today, too.
 
Trooner what I think of post 2000 U2 is I am looking more forward to Interpol's offering than theirs, especially after hearing All the Rage. Bono chanting about his life and beliefs on top of Edge riffs seemed to comprise much of what I've heard. Will listen though, free album for all is a pretty ridiculously cool thing to do.
 
Unless you have a blind hatred of U2, there are some great tracks on the new release.

Raised By Wolves (love it)
Sleep Like A Baby Tonight
Volcano
Song For Someone

All = :greencheck:

Not sure why 3 of those 4 songs are on the second half of the album.

:dunno:

Lead single "The Miracle" sucks.
