Still waiting on vinyl from U2 site,well gone beyond a joke now.

Anyway I'm going to give up the music forum on boardsie. It's not really working out. It's taking up to much time and I think Im annoying to many people on the forum.
Apologies to anyone I did annoy it was definitely was not intentional. I do have tendency to ramble on a bit. But I am passionate about music . I must say I enjoyed talking to fellow U2 and music fans. Anyway take care and enjoy the Christmas. Peace.

Ah you don't ramble at all! No one is forced to read your opinions or anyone else's. You'll want to come back when they release that top secret industrial/goth/blues/metal album they have hidden away.:pac:

Ya I'm also waiting on the vinyl. Ordered it about a month ago at this stage.

Just opened my SOE vinyl that I ordered from the U2 store and theres no download card in it, despite being on the hype sticker.

Im sure theyll just send me a link but... annoying.

Vinyl is lovely though!

Won't be getting my hopes up for the pre sale after experience and innocence groups are finished. My SOE vinyl arrived today.

i might be wrong here, but i think that means you're allowed to pirate the funk out of it.

I sent them a quick email just explaining I got no card (I saw a couple of other people on Twitter had the same issue)

They basically said "the card would be inside the sleeve"....

Where do they think I looked, the post box?!

A realistic look at this famous U2 band

https://www.rte.ie/amp/926887/?__twitter_impression=true

The Nal

All well said. Sums up my exact feelings. I'd feel like a right tit getting emotional at their current output, studio or live. Would be like getting all emotional leaving the Apple Store with a new phone.

It is an album of bluster, blandness and emptiness, a record which exists not because there is a desperate need for it to exist as an expression of four middle-aged men’s inner turmoil, confusion and angst, but because there was a gap in the last quarter of the financial year for it. Every U2 album from the last decade and a half has been a bust and Songs Of Experience continues this luckless, shoddy run.

johnpatrick81

It’s like someone who breaks up with a person, and for the next 20 years comments on how old they are getting and how tired they are compared to that sexy 20 year old they fell in love with :pac:

Imagine there are other bands to be so strangely interested in considering you don’t like their output since 1997....

**Jimmy C not liking U2 shocker.**

Well, I expected a more positive article....

Granted, he hates the band and has always bashed them but, yano...

I'm all for people liking and dislike music but, when the entire article basically says
"I wanna know every detail of their tax affairs"
"They're old"
"How dare they promote their album!"
"Why should we care they have music out?"
"How dare they put music on phones"
"Album is **** because it's not filled with songs about being angst and anger at being in your 50s"

I tend to switch off.

Kind of reminds of the bull**** critics used to say "Haha Quo and ACDC are ****e because they only ever play 3 chords"

Thanks for posting, The Nal.

Songs of Experience has to be one of the more uplifting albums I've gotten in a while. It's a fantastic listen straight through really.

johnpatrick81

I'm more and more impressed the better I get to know it. I really do think it might be their best since POP.

It's my favourite from start to finish since POP easily. SOI is a close second, but it's a complete package for me, and flows well and doesn't let up.

It's one of their most complete, that's for sure, hard to think of a track I'd skip.
Think Love is Bigger would have made a better lead off single though, U2 are there most anthemic.

I pre ordered my CD for the pre sale code. Still hasn't arrived.

Was dispatched and all three weeks ago. Still have the vinyl though.

Still love that quiet part in RFD.

On a side note, this was released on Spotify today..

Anyone who says or thinks U2 have lost it, I kindly point you to this and say you're wrong.
