right, sure

i love bono's oh my god near the end of this.

i am not really caring what's maybe on (update) definitely on the cover of the u2 cd.

interested in what's ON the cd. (sound). and yes of course neil mccormick has heard it. much respect to neil, but i will not allow his opinion to get me excited.

It could be the glittering sonic mind meld of pop rock and soul that Zooropa wanted to be. Or maybe, like Bono, I'm am just prone to exaggeration.


he is noncommittal. and he did after all, say, in advance of its release, that how to dismantle an atomic bomb was "fantastic" and "wonderful" and "ballsy." so ...

later ...

I'm laughing at the cheesy production in that commerical. "Get (get get) On (on on) your(your your) boots!(boots! boots!)"

I'm torn on the album cover. I understand (I think) what people are guessing the equal sign means, but I think it looks dumb. However, I think it would look dumb if the bars weren't there and the U2 and title were there instead.

Eh. I'm with you on caring more about the music.

These song titles are killing me. Are they inviting a burning poker through the frontal lobe from Pitchfork?

I like the cover ... quite minimalist (I'm involved in a minimalist exhibition now so I may be biased.) Beats out the last album cover (yawn.) Yay for arty U2!
