U2's New Single - Page 2

Uno, Dos, Tres, Catorce......does that translate to 1,2,3,14 ?

Anyone know the reason behind this countoff?

Maybe Bono just being Bono.

Great album. I just heard the stream of the entire thing on My Music and I am definitely picking this one up!

what's 'my music'? i'd like to hear a stream as well. it doesn't look like u2.com has one.

Hope the album is better than the first single indicates.

"Vertigo"=Boring!

The issue of Time Magazine that I just got has a review of the new album (the writer seems to like it a lot), and some very interesting quotes from the band on the recording process and how things get done with U2, how Vertigo came about, their deal with Apple, and even a mention that they felt that "All that you can't leave behind" was falsely praised by the critics, and was not really very good (I agree 100%....didn't like it much at all).

The writer is from Dublin...suppose he is biased????

Anyway...an interesting read

good read brian ... thx for posting.

nice to know u2 didn't take any money for the partnership with apple. barring the obvious pr potential, it's still nice to hear. and to turn down 25m? now that's just crazy!

funny how even they (apparantly) didn't think much of atyclb. personally, it's one of my faves. i play that as much as mysterious ways or joshua tree.

local radio played the whole album nonstop last thursday for 12 hours, yes 12 hours. I had to switch stations. i listened to some of it, most of it I found very average. I have no interest in this album now. It really didnt seem very good at all.

It's amusing how every new album by U2 is the album "the band always dreamed of making" but 3 years down the road they say they don't really care for it...

Ted Lee · 11-17-2004, 05:06 PM

well duh tim.

it's not like they're gonna say, "yeah, this new album isn't our best shot..."

depeche does that all the time too...cracks me up.

Ted - ROFLMAO...just once I'd like to see a musician admit "Hey, our new album isn't very good, but the record company made us put it out!"
