Not totally football related I know, but has anybody else got it? and if so, what's the verdict? I think it's their best one since Achtung Baby, definately worth seeing live again for... 10/10

" Magnificent," the second song, is superb.

tour details are being announced on March 9th, and they said ticket prices would be reduced due to the credit crunch....that's good of them

Heard 'Get On Your Boots' a couple of times over the weekend and think it's pretty poor to be honest. Probably won't buy the album but may borrow a copy and give it a listen to see if it is any good.

Yep, by turning out dross each time they get to become the biggest rock band in the world with the same 4 members as when they started in 1978.
For those who think it might be worth getting, I'd thoroughly endorse. It's best since Actung and possibly best ever.

I just love this too. Having played 3 times since getting yesterday, this is the stand out track in my mind.
Thing I love about U2 albums is their songs nearly always grow on you if you thought they were less than great first time around.
"Pop" is my favourite and doesn't sound anything like any of their other stuff... It really does help if you see them live, in the Millennium stadium.

It's my least favorite track on the cd if that's anything to go by

Doubt it very much (though it's the agencies who hike the prices, not the bands) because Bono's already made a point that the prices will reflect the world economic crisis we're in.

I don't know, I found U2 to sound very shit, when they played them on the telly last weekend.
On the OTHER hand, much as I disliked Oasis - this is out this week, and it's class;

reviews ive read (not many i'll grant you) range from dull to average. i like some U2 stuff so im not anti but remain unconvinced. to those who say its great, why? whats great about it?
I'll be making the purchase as I have all their long players bar Joshua Tree and Rattle and Hum. Some bastard stole those two from my collection.

Worth re-investing in The Joshua Tree surely. A classic.
