Ax, COBL: thanks for the recommendations from down under. Quite enjoying what I'm hearing -- and yes, Gang of Youths is obviously very similar to The National, which is great in my book.

Great track, and like the subtle callback to Raised by Wolves in the opening guitar.

Exactly. A fantastic song, but I keep wanting to hear Edge go up one or two octaves at the end, like the live versions of One or Please. Still, the buildup is great.

:up:

Are you trying to kill us?

"Well produced, well executed but not a home run."

Nothing groundbreaking, but pretty promising still: the chorus is not too saccharine, and there is a nice build-up to the (somewhat extended, instrumental) outro. We'll see!

Indeed. Democrats will win by turning out the vote, not by convincing people who think voting for Trump is a reasonable choice--reason has no sway on them.

One can only hope. I thought the same after W., and yet here we are.

Time for Toronto to take over the high finance mantle! :wink:

Can't wait!

I think it's a pretty common feeling. Some thoughts: Basics: before embarking on anything else, make sure that you've got the basics covered: 1) you sleep well; 2) you eat well; and 3) you exercise regularly. These three affect mood and life philosophy a lot. Location: small towns can be...

Alright, gave this a first listen. I quite enjoyed Birds (except the abrupt ending) and fully expect Hymn to the Weekend (and maybe Fun) to be huge once it's released as a radio single. Amazing Day and Everglow are classic Coldplay. I don't think I'll be returning to this much.

I get it, but honestly, U2 is known for elaborate stage designs, and has been for more than 20 years. Doing a bit of research on what the stage setup looks like before pulling the trigger on a pair of tickets is pretty standard procedure for this band. Especially if they warn you on the website...

This is the right hand side of the ticket. It was also written as you purchased them, but I don't have a screenshot of that. Pretty clear ;)

The tickets you bought were pretty clearly marked 'obstructed view', and were priced accordingly. Evenko and U2 made it pretty clear.

Terrific show. I had managed to escape most of the tour hype and Interference before the show, so came in with only a limited understanding of what the stage would look like. Needless to say I was very, very happy. I would say this was my favourite show of all the tours I've attended (Elevation...

Amazing. Best U2 show I've seen in 15 years. More tomorrow.

Quite difficult at this stage, but let's give it a try - partly as a record of my initial impressions: 1. Sleep Like a Baby Tonight 2. The Troubles 3. Raised by Wolves 4. This is Where You Can Reach Me 5. Every Breaking Wave 6. Song for Someone 7. Cedarwood Road 8. Iris 9. Volcano 10. The...

Terrific song. The outro is a bit short, however. But overall a stellar song, easily among the best.

Love the intro and especially when the drums kick in. The rest of the song is alright, but it doesn't appeal to me that much compared to other tracks on the album. A decent opener though.

Meh.

The verses are highly reminiscent of 1980s U2, while the chorus is pure Broken Bells. Love it.

My favourite so far. Love it when that dirty guitar kicks in after the first chorus.
