It seems that the second weeks sales of the album fell off by 75%. What does that tell you?
Yeah I have to agree that the hype has been a little nuts over this album, and I think it might have worked against them (and their choice for the first single was terrible!). That being said I do have to admit that I was up every night to see the...
Have not heard the album yet, but the "Hype Machine" has been going full tilt. 1 week as the only music guest on Letterman, and "pop Up" stores (which only haveU2 product) in Hollywood, and opening the Grammys. I thought the song was not that grea...
I purchased the new 2 LP set from U2 on Tuesday and i have listened to it clear through. I didn't grab me, nor was it compelling enough to listen again. yet i might revisit later today.
Just curious about anyone's feelings regarding the new album, especially given the amount of negative press I seem to be seeing (or am I imagining?). Been listening to this for about three weeks now, and it is only the last few days that it has st...
YES!! I placed my order for this bad boy a couple months ago. Can't wait. I hear they are readying the rest of their catalog for upgraded re-release over the next year as well.
Jane's Addiction - Ritual De Lo Habitual. Side B is 31 minutes! Side A is only 21, but the album is broken up into a "rock" side (A), and a "mellow" side (B).
I think you are dead on in your argument, and Dark Side is the perfect example of what you are talking about. I would add to this that another thing that was lost when albums became longer was the "quality" b-side. One of my best memories from the...

Any U2 fans out there?
Just curious about anyone's feelings regarding the new album, especially given the amount of negative press I seem to be seeing (or am I imagining?). Been listening to this for about three weeks now, and it is only the last few days that it has started to grow on me. Normally the albums that I have the hardest time learning to like end up being the ones that I love the most over time. Or sometimes they wind up at the bottom of the stack! Time will tell...
