Guest skibby Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 500,000,000 copies are being made and given away via itunes of U2's new album. Making this album the world record holder for the most copies owned. Don't miss out on this rare opportunity to be a part of Guinness World Record history!

Joyrex Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 It's a shit album, btw - even for someone that at one time liked U2 (pre 1997 U2 that is, before they crawled up their own arses) - it's not a big deal, but did they have to push the album to people's devices (yes, I know there is a setting in iCloud for this)? I can see being offered a chance to download it, but forcing it on someone seems... invasive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see being offered a chance to download it, but forcing it on someone seems... invasive. Exactly! It also seems a little desperate... Maybe they've realised no one cares about their music anymore! :D No, sadly U2 are still one of the highest-grossing acts around... that and the fact they are superb tax-dodgers ensure they have way more money than sense.

beerwolf Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 there are a few tracks on Unforgettable Fire (Promenade and, Elvis Presley and America) where Eno really shines and Bono is buried in the mix, I think these are really good. you maybe suprised... I think Unforgettable Fire is a great album TBF, but yeah not to deviate, they have been awful for years. Without Eno I think they would of been a bit like SImple Minds. They would of never made Zooropa FFS without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berk Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 the joshua tree is a pretty great album too, brilliant really, and there are some pretty nice early new wave-ish tunes from them in the 80s they were really good imo now they suck a mean ass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poblequadrat Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I don't particularly hate U2... may have something to do with not having lived in a time were U2 were relevant Hmmm. Maybe it's because I used to talk to people who were older than me, but I think we must be around the same age and I certainly have met many people who were really enthusiastic about U2. this was when radiohead and los planetas where the only allowed bands, so i think around 2004 or so. i have this idea for an apple commercial: U2's "one" plays in the background as someone goes to mcdonald's and buys 30000 burgers. he then loads them into a boat, and drives the boat to 700 metres away from the west coast of africa. then he proceeds to throw the burgers into the sea. cut to black people crying blood, and the apple logo fades in.

modey Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Boy, War and Zooropa are great. I never bothered with the other stuff. Without Eno I think they would of been a bit like SImple Minds. Simple Minds were fucking amazing up to (and including, imo) Once Upon A Time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think U2 managed to envigorate their sound for the 90's by using brilliant producers, whereas perhaps Simple Minds just kind of hit a brick wall. Anyway always loved the synths on this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
