Some really cool Eno/U2 soundscapey stuff going on in this tune, especially in the "Fez" portion... pity about the rather uninspired Bono-isms atop it!
Is this one of the crappy songs they did from this album on snl last time around? Both were so lame and indistinguishable, I guess it's hard to tell these days anymore with their latest crapola!
I've suddenly realized that you can only listen to RP on a Mac with headsets ... the 'tinty' sound is too obvious. My dear wife across the way here in our 'office' at home can't work with music in the background. Weirdo. I'm the opposite, of course. And I'm within range of a good whack, so I'd better be careful saying this. It's okay. We're cool. Slapping on the headsets as we speak ... now THAT'S more like it.
hey,,, i made the overall rating for this song go up a 10th of a point from 5.8 to 5.9, with my rating of 8,,,that's Most Excellent Bill,,,,,You said it Ted,,,,, I feel like I really matter nowwow in the general schemes of things. muahh =)
My favorite albums (by anyone, not just U2) tended to be ones that I didn't care for or at least didn't think were all that great when I first heard them. So I'm hoping this is one of those, because it seems like a bunch of B-sides.
This is my favorite of the bunch so far tho. 6.
Here, here! I despised both the Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby the first few spins Now I'd be stranded on a desert island with them
In fact, before now I've never rated a song below a 6!
Bono: after Achtung Baby and Zooropa, aren't you ashamed about making this shit...
BTW, listened to this album a few times now, and I find more great details each and every time.
THIS is a non argument.
There are many "great" details in a pile of poo as well.
Bleucch! Too much information! Do you realise that that image will stay with me all day? The horror, the horror...
Tom Waits has gone from almost being able to sing to unintelligible marble-mouthed grumbling.
Unless you were using Tom as an ironic example, of course...
U 2?
Nothing much.
