Re: U2
I've never really been a fan of U2, and so the only thing that enticed me to check this out was that it was free. It didn't convert me, but I didn't really expect it to.
Seems like an excellent vehicle for a hugely profitable arena tour though.

Re: U2
Just finished first listen. So far Song for Someone was my stand out track. Nothing flat out amazing about the album....but it did take about a full year before I fully appreciated How to Dismantle.

I am with you on this one. I don't like U2 at all and I hate Bono even more..grumblestiltskin wrote:I've never really been a fan of U2, and so the only thing that enticed me to check this out was that it was free. It didn't convert me, but I didn't really expect it to.

I don't like the new song and hearing it on the radio once every hour isn't helping, so I probably won't check out the rest of the album, so they won't be gaining this listener with this album..not even if it's free..

Re: U2
with a name like pj101ca I am going to assume you mean Pearl Jam.....plus I think that is the only band thread with "sucks" at the end..pj101ca wrote:but you have no problem when a mod starts a "such and such band sucks" threadStl_ben wrote:Yay for the internet where people go to post just how much they hate stuff!

Also, I think people post their opinion of new albums or bands all the time..not all reviews are good ones...

Re: U2
How is it a review of the album when you say "I hate bono" "I probably won't even check out the album".
I'm all for a bad review...I don't think mine was exactly that glowing.
But to just go around and say "horrible" on a thread is pretty lame in my opinion.
How would this look in another thread if someone posted in for instance the Jett Plastic Records thread: "I don't like Jett Plastic Records and hate Jett even more. I don't like the new releases and him bumping it every hour doesn't help. I probably won't check it out not even if it was free"
But hey it's the internet and we all have opinions and people are going to do what they want so who cares what I say. Guess I was just spitting out my opinion too so aren't we all HORRIBLE. So Bad.

Re: U2
I was just simply stating that I don't like the guy. I don't like hitler and a lot of other people either..but that has no effect on my opinion of U2s music so I kept that opinion out for today.Stl_ben wrote:How is it a review of the album when you say "I hate bono" "I probably won't even check out the album".

Usually it takes me a bunch of listens to start to like a new song or album and after hearing it about 10 times, once every hour on the radio yesterday, the song still did nothing for me, so I will not be checking out the new album...even if it's free..
I don't really see how it ties in any way to Joey Ramone...so great way to get a bunch of listens to people who wouldn't normally listen, but it still isn't a great song...in my opinion..

Re: U2
I like U2 a lot, I'm not crazy about the new album, actually don't like it at all. I will listen again sometime and try again.

u2 were heavily influenced by the ramones, the clash. they never sounded much like those bands, but they were inspired by them.arewhyehen wrote:I was just simply stating that I don't like the guy.
