I love AAT, especially when the female starts in and that beat gets going again....goosebumps and still a frequent listen for me. Alive and Kicking is legit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Subscriber globaltraveler 5 Posted December 5, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted December 5, 2017 Great to see so many varied opinions about the new album. They've changed so much over the years that it's interesting to see the opinions of fans of the old stuff, and fans who have adapted to U2's evolving approach to every new release. I have to say that I thought the album was just decent on Day 1, now I think it's really awesome. And I'm in the camp that is OK with the fact that it doesn't sound like anything from Unforgettable Fire or Joshua Tree. And my four year old daughter actually knows the lyrics to a few of the songs and keeps asking me to play it - so validation that U2 can make brand new fans in 2017! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Subscriber Superstar1976 1 Posted December 5, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted December 5, 2017 I have been a fan since I was 11 which was 1987. I have to say this album is special, and guess what, like most things U2 does, it will take time for it to be appreciated. Such deep lyrics, beautiful sounds, some really energetic tunes, and sounds that draw from thier past. Not everyone will agree, and reviews are mixed from the so called experts, but the overwhelming comments from actual listeners are the most positive they have been in years. That means more than anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Subscriber Superstar1976 1 Posted December 5, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) Red flag day has one of my favorite parts of the whole album and reminds me a bit of Sunday bloody Sunday......"there's one word that the sea can't say, is no, nooo, noooooo" . That is epic. Edited December 5, 2017 by Superstar1976 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Still in all, seems its just another Ticketmaster snafu.. I have received the email for both of the tickets I have bought. I am intrigued to see if I end up getting 2 copies of the CD (I'm thinking that I will - I'll let everyone know)... On a related front, I have received my pre-sale ticket in the mail today for the first Philadelphia show - so others who got tickets for this show and don't have them yet should watch their mailboxes closely over the next few days.

You should get an email a couple days after you bought your ticket. Yes, I am streaming it. The cd arrives Monday, December 8, 2017. I hope it's 2017...it is TM but they were pretty quick with me. I hope they didn't tell you that because December 8, 2017 is a Friday this year! Ticketmaster is trying to mess with calendars now... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Subscriber angelofharlem4u2 25 Posted December 5, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted December 5, 2017 I had already pre-ordered it on iTunes, and was surprised about the CD notification after I purchased a ticket. Mine is on the way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
