so, has anyone bought or listened to this yet? I've read good reviews about it, and am thinking of getting it for Christmas... although I'll probably get it regardless of what is said here...
anyways, anyone who has heard it, please tell me wqhat it's like... and if you haven't heard the album, and just hate U2, please just ignore the thread! :)

its possible the other songs are better, but that vertigo song sounds like so fucking generic radio trash (like nigel said), it sounds like any fucking flavor of the month band, only with Bono's voice.

So if it's their 14th album what is the point of the 1, 2, 3?
Oh and I hate them. The only songs by them that I can tolerate are the really old ones like from Achtung Baby or whatever. And The Sweetest Thing was also kind of nice. But for the past 4 years they've been horrible to listen to.

"The only songs by them that I can tolerate are the really old ones like from Achtung Baby or

Or whatever?? umm, wroight... I dont even want to say anything about that. Achtung baby or whatever haha ok.
The only thing I can say is that they go with what they feel not with what society tells them to sing or the types of music their agents should tell them to play..I can see many people dont like them but thats cool cause I want them ALL TO MYSELF!

Youre talking about the one that look like a VHS right? Because that one is about 29, at first I thought you were talking about the one that is the CD case with a DVD in it.

There's alot of stuff thats been around since the 80's that still sucks. Alot of fans dont want to leave a band that lost their touch.
Happens all the time. Look at metallica. They lost it. People still listen to that crap. Radio friendly garbage.
Anyhow..... U2 sucks more dick than a gay pornstar.
But if you guys like it, cool! 2004 doesnt have much in the way for great music aside from Lamb of God's new one

haha... I LOVE YOU THE EDGE!!!
"i really resent that they always call themselves "the greatest band in the world" or that they even allow any media to label them so."
not once have they ever called themselves "the greatest band in the world"
haha, if you were in a band or a single musician you'll say "hey guys dont lable me as the best...stop it!.stop it now!! I'm just a normal guy ok."

I enjoy U2 here and there. I like a couple of the older tracks like Pride and With or Without you.. just plain good songwriting and I'm a sucker for that effect-laden 80's sound. I also liked the album Zooropa. The early 90's were just so cool. Other than that they're a pretty yawn-able band.
By the way, this whole paragraph is focusing on the music and choosing to ignore Bono's less-than-agreeable demeanor. The review might be different if that were taken into account.

I love U2.
But...
I can TOTALLY understand people who hate them. There are many good reasons to despise them. But for fuck's sake, how many other bands their size are anywhere near as good as them? Rolling Stones are a joke nowadays, Aerosmith is a joke.
My girlfriend hates them. One of my mates from Donegal hates them. (Mind you, he hates everything that's anywhere near mainstream)
So, if you like U2 at all there's a good chance you'll love the new album (what I've heard is very very good) and if you dislike them you're not going to suddenly be converted.

I'm not saying there weren't/aren't.
I'm just stating that as a band of such an enormous scale, they're still turning out a few good tunes. As opposed to other big bucks bands.
