lethalenforcer Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 New single "The Blackout" comes out tomorrow and then the new album will be announced on September 6th (along with another new song). I personally loved Songs of Innocence so I'm stoked for this. https://pitchfork.com/news/u2-preview-new-song-the-blackout-which-is-out-tomorrow-watch/ tvham and colbourne25 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vega Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Yess finally!! Can't believe it took them 3 years to finish it after the announcement in 2014 that they made albums, but the clip sounds great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timsimmons Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I also though SoI was pretty good. I'm really looking forward to this. The new tune they had been playing all summer was pretty vintage U2.

DASiano Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I am very much looking forward to this-I also thought Song Of Innocence was excellent (I think this record was very unfairly judged due to the release strategy over the actual musical content) and between this clip and the live clips of a different new song they've introduced on this last tour (name escapes me at the moment), I have pretty high hopes. Slight derailment: as I stated in the Atomic Bomb reissue thread-I wish the 90's/00's stuff get reissued sooner than later. The Atomic Bomb reissue by most accounts was a well done reproduction of the OG, and I'd rather pay those prices over OG prices on something like Achtung Baby or Pop if the quality is similar. 4 hours ago, backpackoat said: Can't wait for Scott and Scott's take on this 1 hour ago, Moglog said: 'sbeenawhile YES. Although, they did do a Joshua Tree Tour ep back in June (where they played the aforementioned live clip of one of the new songs). It was a good ep-a great ep. tvham, deltadon and zerohacker 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lethalenforcer Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 I Love I Love Films (not to be confused with I Love Films) is perhaps the most underrated material ever spawned from the existence of U2, the band. 8 minutes ago, zerohacker said: Is this another episode of I Love Films?

"ep" in this case is short for "episode" in Adam Scott Aukerman parlance and is meant as "podcast episode" from said podcast where all the jokes in this thread are pilfered from. It it does not mean "EP" as in "extended play" as in a short album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plarocks Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Thanks for clearing that up. I have been collecting U2 vinyl for a while, and thought I missed something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colbourne25 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Really like the new song. Really raw bass and drums which is something thats been missing from U2 in their last few albums. Anyone else like the verses more than the chorus? OneThreeOneTwo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else like the verses more than the chorus? 100% agree and was thinking the same thing about the chorus versus non-chorus lyrics. With that poppy chorus, it feels like a All That You Can't Leave Behind outtake that was left off for being a little too heavy. So yeah, pretty good. Doesn't make me want to buy the album. I was way into U2 in the 1990s, but haven't heard the last three albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's basically what everyone says. I'll get around to it once this one's out because I want to evaluate the duology back-to-back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
