Subscriber U2FanInVT Posted October 18, 2013 Subscriber Share Posted October 18, 2013 I agree - I really expected more than a movie trailer clip to warrant a special email. However, I don't know that U2.com necessarily "over hyped" this event. They sent out a single email saying to log in for "something a bit special". Maybe they shouldn't have said "Not to be missed" (because I did miss it, and was able to see it later)...but - they weren't hyping it up nearly as much as fans and other U2 fan sites were. There was a lot of speculation that turned into expectation. Which is now upsetting many folks. We are all eager to get some new material...I know I will be scanning the site and web for the first signs of the release date...and purchasing the new album the first day I can!! ~Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Zhivvy Posted October 18, 2013 Subscriber Share Posted October 18, 2013 needed the whole song and that is the general consensus. Not much to ask and would have made a lot of people happier about this place than they are at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Janette B Posted October 18, 2013 Subscriber Share Posted October 18, 2013 Yes, the entire song and without all the "noise" . . . so simple and yet didn't happen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber pain_18_ Posted October 19, 2013 Subscriber Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) Is it just me or is The Boners voice shot to hell???... to me the snippet says he's struggling vocally. Couldn't make out the way he sang it ... Mandela was screaming over some gun-shots...Ask me when we'll get the HD - Recording.

Subscriber Anjana Posted October 19, 2013 Subscriber Share Posted October 19, 2013 I thought his voice sounded good, what I could hear of it anyway, there was a lot of noise. I liked the falsetto, I don't really care if it's not pitch perfect, I prefer imperfect in some ways, it's more interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Janette B Posted October 19, 2013 Subscriber Share Posted October 19, 2013 Couldn't hear his voice that much over all the noise. Would have liked to hear just the song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Anjana Posted October 19, 2013 Subscriber Share Posted October 19, 2013 Btw, true U2.com didn't hype it up as such but they knew exactly what would happen when they made that email announcement, they knew it would spread like wildfire and speculation/the hype (pun pun) would follow quickly on the back of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
