I used to have a Memory Man pedal so I could play like The Edge. I was learning guitar between The Joshua Tree and Rattle & Hum albums, so it was a good time. Once Achtung Baby came out and there were all these guitar sounds I could not afford the technology to make, I was never the same U2 fan again.
OMG I just had a breakthrough!

Very good - Volcano, Raised By Wolves, Cedarwood Road, Sleep Like a Baby Tonight, This Is Where You Can Reach Me Now, The Troubles
Good but corny - The Miracle, Every Breaking Wave, Iris
Corny - California, Song for Someone

They were on the Graham Norton show and it kinda reminded me of those "shredding" videos tbh

as with any u2 album, the songs sink in, grow, and then become part of the bands canon.
still hate the revised album art though.

The funniest part of pfork's post is how they follow up the news that this week's Tonight Show residency will be postponed with the embedded video for "With or Without You".

First the Apple thing. Then he admits he wears glasses because he has glaucoma. Then the back of his airplane falls open. Now he has a bike accident bad enough to require surgery.
Take the hint, Bono. Take it easy. The world needs you now, more than ever.

Because despite all the hype and the marketing manouvres, the last album was a bit rub.
Get away.

I had no interest in this album, but I'm listening to the U Talkin' U2 to Me episode about it right now, and they're kind of selling me on it.

Volcano is classic, the rest I can take or leave

I really dig on "The Troubles" whenever it comes up in shuffle.

i wish they'd do something with this and actually put it on an album or a single cause it's fucking great

I think he should change his stage name from The Edge now, he's clearly over it.

Maybe he could do a collab with Mark E Smith.
