But I don't think this site is relevant to the actual music. I mean...they've given us what...2 albums and 3 tours in the last 4 years or so? That's not bad. They can make it up to us during the 30th Anniversary Achtung Baby Tour... 2 albums in the last 4 years??? 2 albums in the whole decade! We were spoilt with a lot of touring, that's great (and what great tours they were!!!)An extra album would've been better than 'only' two albums. SOE took far more time than planned. I remember the endless wait for SOI (because SOA was planned as a quick follow up to NLOTH) and SOE. About the fanclub: they do a lot of great things , but there are things that could be done better. Passing deadlines, delivery problems, lack of downloads., lack of newsupdates in times of no touring.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Subscriber NOLINE82Cork 16 Posted February 24, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted February 24, 2020 I have no issues with the creative output of the band. I actually think SOE was their strongest album since All That You Can't Leave Behind. I really liked SOI too. I just think the promotion and marketing was dreadful. The Blackout was crying out to be the first single. Best Thing is a dud in its recorded form (live version is much better). They were performing this and American Soul in the build up to the release of SOE and these are two of the weakest tracks on the album. The band looked tired and under rehearsed during these performances. When they performed 'Get Out of Your Own Way' at the Grammys, they were much better but the momentum was lost. There was no build up or interviews done on the website. What about a one off gig in secret location where they did the new album plus a few classics. That would have worked! There is little to no innovation in how the band promotes themselves and the fanclub is a prime example. A decent mobile app would be a start. Let members download with with a code and put up a live show recording every month from a classic period (Joshua Tree, War, Zoo Tv). That is just one idea. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Subscriber OB 20 Posted February 26, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted February 26, 2020 February is almost over, I wonder if U2.com will indeed keep their promise and mail it in February. 😀 It's amazing after all these years they can't get this right. If this site was as professional as U2, it would be a huge delight to fans. They should offer way more than they actually do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Subscriber cristiu2 56 Posted February 27, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted February 27, 2020 There's an extra february day!!!! Fingers crossed.
