    I'm so happy the new album is here at last. It's quite good. And for free :D

    I can't believe I was able to figure out how to download the album but I did it. My first download of an album and what a treat. The songs theme seem to be from when they first started out making music. Great marketing stragedy maybe due to new management in creating such a surprise buzz. Pretty cool, my favorite so far is track 10 This Is Where You Can Reach Me Now.

    Too bad the actual music isn't more punk rock. It would probably be an improvement.

    Not according to the punk rock bands I went and saw a couple weeks ago at a punk rock club. It's alive and well. You just need to know where to find it. :)

    Punk is an attitude not a certain style of music. Fugazi are a perfect example of what punk really means. Unafraid to take chances and try different sounds while being true to themselves.

    FUGAZI were so awesome in the 80's as I saw then all over the DC Metro area.

    They were taking questions from their fans the other day. It's a good watch, if somewhat short. It's on facebook and you tooobe, search for U2 No Filter

    why so much hate ? u2 have alot of plausible hits and i dont think u2 are offensive or odious in fact they do many praiseworthy things, i know they are no saints and thats questionable but their music and their charitable deeds is to be commended, i think your all just jealous your not as successful, thats what i think, why else would you bother coming on here and bitching

    oh, come on. i like u2 as well....but they were so much cooler 20+ years ago.

    and while i've enjoyed all their albums, i don't think any of them over the last 15 years or so have held up very well. do you?

    get on your boots
    i'm glad that someone in the band finally said that this it was a bad decision as a single for the last cd.
