Thought this might be a good topic to start. Comment on new and old bands lastest releases and what you think. I start it off U2 releasing their new album then end of the month called "No Line on the Horizon", and the first single from "Get your boots on". As some of you know already I am a big big U2 fan, but I have to say I think their new song is "sh*tE" and it took them five years to come out with that. Yeah I still probably go out and buy it just to keep the my collection going. Watch U2 perform the new song on The Brits awards last night and Bono strutting his stuff and throwing the same shapes that he threw for the Zoo tv and Popmart tours during the 90's, nothing new with their performance , and as for the Eye makeup, who he think he is Michael Stipe from REM ????... Mind you I might end up eating my words and claiming it the best stuff ever from U2 but not looking good so far ------------- "Legal downloads is killing Piracy" http://www.flickr.com/groups/th |

Not that new, but listening to The Cure's 4.13 dream. I got it for xmas, but had a backlog to get through first. Its decent based on a few listens. Back to a slimmed down lined up (Smith/Gallup/Thompson/Cooper), this is a band 33 years into their career. Robert Smith is 50 in May this year which is something. The Cure are on Jonathan Ross tonight by the way. I can't believe its 20 years since Disintegration (Smith had turned 30 and produced a stunning album with a title song to match any bad mood! ------------- Keep it Local, Keep it Near! |

BR...did you see U2 on the Grammy awards? They were the opening act with an anti-terrorism song and video. Is that from the New album? Still not sure what I think of it...haven't heard it since. How is the album in general? ------------- BrendanFella IRISH DIPLOMACY IS....The ability to tell a man to Go To Hell so that He looks forward to making the trip. |

The general opinion is that the new U2 album is disappointing. Doesnt look like they have anything new to contribute any more. I heard the new Morrissey album in HMV in Swords during the week. I've never been a huge fan of his solo stuff but what I heard wasn't bad so I'll have to check it out further. Just been checking out new band White Lies on myspace. Not half bad. http://www.myspace.com/whitelies What I'm really looking forward to is the release of 'Smoke and Mirrors' by The Eden House. This band is a conglomerate of artists from bands such as This Burning Effigy, Fields of the Nephilim, All About Eve and others. The album sampler sounds fantastic. http://www.myspace.com/theedenhouseuk Jen  ------------- "Gentlemen! You can't fight in here, this is the War Room!" |

Interesting the diffferent perspectives on the U2 album from those in the media who have heard it so far - everything from "excellent - the album they should have released after achtung baby" to "another attempt to pretend they have reinvented themselves". I am still looking forward to getting it on friday to make up my own mind ------------- UA "A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity but an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty" |

That "get your boots on" is a really bad sign for the rest of the album. Bono has really gone over the edge He He He!!! Dying to get hold of Springsteen's new album once I heard it was with the E Street Band. Lizzie have a remasted release due soon as well - don't know much about it except it is a live album. ------------- mary |

Finno, I have only one thing to say to you................ Wha?????????  Pete, I heard on the radio today that the new U2 album is crap. It didn't make top 10 - first time for U2. They're obviously too busy saving the world to make decent music. Heard too that Midnight Oil are returning for a concert for something or other. Peter Garret is rubbish at his federal job. Shoulda stuck to singin  ------------- Lesley 25th June - 25th July. Get organising my nights out. Child can stay in the car. Grove 1980-1984 |

Ok a week oor so on since I got the new U2 album and my verdict is... Its ok still.. Songs I think the highlight on it are No line on the Horizon Moment of Surrender Unknown Caller Breathe There is another version of "No line on the Horizon" slightly different on the bside their new single and I think different lyrics but its better than the album version.. The rest of the album is bogey... I give 5 out of 10 stars for it I still haven't bought the album which is unusual for me I normally have it the next morning, thats how bad it is... or is it the recession ------------- "Legal downloads is killing Piracy" http://www.flickr.com/groups/th |

As someone who no longer cares
whether music is cool or not, I just want to get my hands on some kind of "jolly" album as I fed up with all the Gloom that seems to be about. Any recommendations. ------------- There is a crack in everything ...... that's how the light gets in |

Holy cr*p Rolo. We have something in common? That's scary! I love the Ramones myself. I defy anyone to listen to "I wanna be sedated" and not feel like dancing. 'Blitzkreig Bop' is one of my favourite Guitar Hero/Rock Band (can't remember offhand which one it's on) tracks for bouncing around to. Alternatively, try "Why Can't I Be You?" by The Cure. Great track. Jen

LOL Jen, I'm sure we've more than that in common Happy to say that I saw The Ramones live, in the TV Club in Harcourt Street in 1981 ( I think ). One of my favourite ever gigs. |

I had forgotten about this thread Frank. At the risk of repeating myself from my post on another thread earlier this week: I highly recommend the debut album from Million $ Reload. It is called Anthems of a Degeneration. They are a Belfast band who sound like a cross between AC/DC and G'nR, and this is the best debut album I have heard in over 20 years (since Appetite For Destruction). Check them out http://www.milliondollarreload.com/media.html - http://www.milliondollarreload.com/media.html

just reading back - love the Ramones too. I remember someone saying their favourite guitar solo of all time was 'I wanna be sedated' - listen to it to see why it's an unusual choice. |

Listening to Band of Joy by Robert Plant & Co. Its good and continues Percy's rich vain of form into the '10s. I have to admire him in a way for not taking the easy road and reform Ledzep. He has consistently followed his muse and I can understand Zep is not where his heart is right now. I missed the Olympia gigs which were very good by all accounts. ------------- Keep it Local, Keep it Near! |
