U2

That's it in a nutshell. U2 fans will love it because it sounds like U2 stuff. U2 critics will hate it because it sounds like U2 stuff.

I got HTDAAB yesterday (as anticipated) and have given it a listen.
It's got some good tracks --- Vertigo, City of Blinding Lights, All Because of You, Original of the Species---and I didn't notice any clunkers.

So I give it a "thumbs up".

Some of us couldn't give a shite what it sounds like.

Is that an ordinary shite or a shiney shite?

As it's Christmas let's make it two shiny shites.

Yes I like those ones. But Yahweh is awful. What a terrible ending for an album. Ouch!!!

A friend of mine made a good hypothesis regarding all this touring stuff, and he reckons there will be another one. He puts up a good argument, if we notice, U2 go through "eras" so to speak. So the first was where they won all that really popular acclaim, the second, came in the mid 90s with strange stuff, that did shite all in the charts but won points for creativity, now they're doing pop rock, and we're two albums into it, which means, we can expect at least another one

I've read an interview with Bono where he said that they're already working on another album, to be released probably in 2006, but he also stated that they're seriously considering their future (after that) and pondering if it makes sense to continue as a band.

Knowing how hard it is for U2 to please you and Stratty - I reckon this one must be a good album then!

Now, I need to go get it

Well, I suppose it would be a bit stupid for them to building this new building for their recording studio if they weren't going to record anymore. Incidently, that building will be about 5 minutes walk from my apartment in Dublin.

I had a dream with Bono in it the other night, it was very odd.. I think it was cos I was talking to a friend til 2 am who's a big fan and we discussed U2 and then I went and had this very ****ed up dream that made no sense and among other things, had Bono in it

cheers

That's more of a nightmare surely.
