U2's new CD

Well I got the CD today and I got to say, it's. . . different. I don't know what I was expecting but I might be a little let down because of the hype. I had already heard some of their songs but I was still a little bit disappointed. Keep in mind, this is only after listening to it for a little bit and it'll probably grow on me but my first impression wasn't super. I've already noticed that I liked it a little more since I first put it into my CD player so I think I'll like it. That being said, I don't think any of the songs will ever really be known as one of the greats like Vertigo, Beautiful Day, One (best song IMO), Where the streets have no name, etc. I think it'll be a success though simply because it's U2 and U2 is U2 and they can sell anything because they're the biggest band in the world. Any other band and this would've been their biggest album but with a band like U2, it falls somewhere in the middle. We'll see. They'll probably win a bunch of Grammy awards and make millions of dollars (yet again) and they'll go back in the studio and crank out another album in 3 years so really, the cycle starts now I believe. Once one album lands, the wait for the next one is on. It's the circle of the music world. I'll enjoy this album, probably for non-stop, for about the next 3 weeks. I'm hoping I see something about concert dates so I can go see them live, which is one of my life goals. I can't wait, we'll see how it goes. I'll probably have some more posts about U2 just because it's U2.
