Time for U2 to shuffle off before the corpse smells?

[thebigfella]

Anyone know how to download it on the iPhone?
I can see it in itunes and play it but cant transfer it to my music on the phone

Don't bother it's terrible.

Do you need to sync your phone with itunes maybe?

Did you listen to it?

It is a pretty harmless and safe album.

U2 fans will like it.

But it doesn't try anything new or reinvent everything like some of their earlier stuff. So it won't generate any new followers imho.

But I quite like some of it.

Yep, Dave Fanning was polluting the radio waves with it yesterday and listened to it this morning. Dare I say Coldplay's last album is better and that's saying something. Still better than Garth Brooks though 

Muppet summed it up but I do think fans will be disappointed.

It doesnt seem like theres any huge hit on it like beautiful day or that but a lot of songs are good/very good.
First listen and I like it

But then I am a U2 fan

[Puckoon]

First pass as a non U2 fan - album has some solid, if not groundbreaking tracks.

[Shamrock Shore]

Dave Fanning must have the sorest hands in Ireland with the constant pulling off of U2.

I will download and give it marks out of 10.
Word on the street is  that it's 'average'.

So what you seem to be saying ,without turning yourself in 2 again, is that it is not bad.

I imagine that some day U2 will be as cool as the showbands.

It seems to be influenced by the likes of Coldplay & Snow Patrol in that it is safe and slickly packaged modern crooning.

All nice and grand and yes it is not bad, in the same way Coldplay & Snow Patrol are not bad. But I preferred when U2 were influenced by anything that forced The Edge to be brave and Bono to sound like he was in pain. The world was a better place when Larry vetoed any release because it did (or didn't) sound like U2.

Sometimes I wish they would go on a Radiohead like tangent for half a decade to see what comes out, instead of showing Stadium Rock bands, REM, INXS, Manchester Scene, Brit Pop and now Coldplay that U2 can match them all.

6/10

It's hard to be creative continuously. PJ Harvey does it but not many others. And the middle of the road stuff will always sell .

Very few if any bands can do that. They are on a different level.
In Rainbows. What an album.

And very few if any bands can serve up some of the dross that Radiohead produce and get away with it. The only concert I have ever left early - used to love them.

Fanning s a complete tosser. The cnut must be the oldest DJ in the world.  His style is straight from the Smashey and Nicey manual
