    U2 coming to Europa. 
    The U2ie tour 2015 in Ziggo Dome Amsterdam was excellent. 
    First time I saw them. Almost felt religious. 
    The rather small venue for a big Stadion band like U2 was perfect. Front row GA. 

    Then in the Joshua Tree tour 2017 in Amsterdam Arena was also superb. 

    Never went to to a concert before because it never fitted in my agenda but damn....stupid me. 

    Now i I will never miss them again.

    I'm on my first listen.  I thought Songs of Innocence was great, but before that it 2 or 3 duds in a row,  So far, this sounds great (I'm on Red Flag Day).

    In for GA at Chicago 5/23.


    Found: Soundgarden Hyde Park DVD (Thank you for the gift!)

    for the record, its not a top 3 of the year good (like Rolling Stone says), but for 21st century U2, its really good.

    Just for comparison who would you put as top 3 or 5 this year? I haven't really been over excited for much this year, have to dl this today though.

    The Internet is a very leaky thing.

    I listened to the album once and it’s very pop and full of hooks.  Didn’t hate it but I wonder if it will hold up for me in the long run.  And I’m pretty certain I heard some autotune on two songs.  Wasn’t Bono’s voice but not something I don't want on any album I buy.

    Was hoping for something a little better from U2 after saying the album was almost done for the last four years.  I just can’t get over the jingly songs on it.  Might grow on me though…

    There is Auto tune on the opening track, but its more in the Bon Iver style rather than T-Pain.

    Auto Tune aside, the opening track is the most interesting song on the LP and is probably my favorite. Makes me feel like if they did Zooropa today it would sound like that.

    Man I hope all this praise for the album is legitimate.

    "You're the best thing about me" is just terrible.  Can't get excited for this new album with a song like that.  Just a terrible, awful, awful song.

    It grew on me. Its probably the most accessible U2-y single that they have put out since ATYCLB
