    U2 Live From Sphere - Final Show SiriusXM stream

    For the boffins, I popped it into the U2torrents forum as well and had this response from Sharebear: You got me curious! I compared a bit to the digital recording from the original Sirius broadcast. The recent U2.com seems to be at a lower bitrate (see more artifacting on the high end). BUT the...

    I think every single instrument is crystal clear, has space in the recording and pops really well. The other recordings were quite blended together, and as you say, Bono was buried in the mix

    Ok. It is SOO MUCH better than the best Sirius rip. I need to split the files etc, will probably be mid morning tomorrow Australian time.

    I'm capturing the u2.com rip to see if the sound is better. Will share tomorrow

    New Album Discussion 1 - Songs of..... - Unreasonable guitar album

    This isn’t a particularly substantive contribution to the chat, but I do remember when I first got this album that for about a month I only liked the odd numbered tracks and then completely flipped and only like the even numbered tracks. Not being obsessive compulsive about, it just turned out...

    New Album Discussion 1 - Songs of..... - Unreasonable guitar album

    I’m a long way behind… are people really complaining about them putting out their b sides? Continuing something they started 18 months ago? Songs not available on streaming? What the actual fuck, you guys. Some people just don’t feel important if they aren’t complaining about u2 on the internet

    New Album Discussion 1 - Songs of..... - Unreasonable guitar album

    Last I will say on it because a question was asked then I’m done. Just that the standard for the American left is pretty centrist elsewhere. Even Biden’s healthcare stance is too far right for the right wing of other developed nations. Until someone can leave a hospital after a few days of...

    New Album Discussion 1 - Songs of..... - Unreasonable guitar album

    I didn’t read overtly, but I’m not surprised that the tone and context was interpreted that way. I find it interesting that Americans seem fixated on the ages of the candidates. Old people can be quite cogent and valuable. The issue in the country is the prevailing sentiment that puts them...

    lol - no I’m not suggesting that. I mean that they probably were pushed back further than the otherwise would have been because of his surgeries - all of which seemed reasonable and necessary.

    New Album Discussion 1 - Songs of..... - Unreasonable guitar album

    7 years and no touring because of Larry. At their age, is it possible they are using this time to queue up lots and lots of work so that when they can tour they don’t have to start another 5 year cycle for the next album? They would be 70 or thereabouts by that stage. There have been so many...

    I listened to No Line on the Horizon right through tonight for the first time in about 10 years…

    I know we don’t agree fully on the recent material, but I do believe they have found moments of magic in the last couple of albums. Little Things and Book of Your Heart stand up against most of their post-Pop outputs. I feel like they are spiritual cousins to the moodier offerings of this period...

    I listened to No Line on the Horizon right through tonight for the first time in about 10 years…

    …and I think I enjoyed it? I experienced this with HtDAAB at about the 15 year mark as well. The disappointment of this being the culmination of 5 years work for the band was gone. I actually found myself liking little moments. Fills, melodies, sounds. Things that never really captured my...

    This one sounds much better and cleaner. I can actually make out what Danny is playing in One. The little fill from the studio version. It sounds cool. Bono is a bit lower in the mix, and I’ve seen some people complain about that, but I actually think it is a positive sign for how an album...

    Apparently a much better source is doing the rounds. I will try and get a copy, but it’s late here. Hopefully it finds its way to this thread soon.

    3 Irishmen and a Dutchman Walk Into A Sphere - General Discussion Thread Part III

    Yeah - it sounds just a little flat as well. I imagine a lot of that is the compression and mono mixing. I think an Apple Music/spotify release may help.

    Apple Music is the easiest to add things to. Now that I’ve got the full cloud library experience I just need to add it on a laptop and upload to my cloud, with iTunes Match switched off.

    Ooft. They did say it will be available on other platforms soon. I imagine their deal to have the channel comes with some sort of exclusivity/pre-release rights. My only issue is they don’t release shows from every tour and make them available to purchase on vinyl.

    I would normally rip it and send it around broken up into tracks, but it’s 2:21am here. If someone does, please send me a link

    Hi all, Given the tour is over I thought it best to have this with the other U2 news/releases on topic forum. Discuss the interview and show here. News is both are live and available for streaming to account holders. No news yet on other platforms or less legal means of obtaining…
