U2 Songs of Surrender


Hi All,

Out of curiosity I threw this on over dinner last night and ended up really enjoying it. These are completely new arrangements to songs you already know. Further, the recording quality appears to be top notch, unlike some of their best cuts which I consider very flat and unimpressive recordings.

I’m pretty burned out on this band overall but was impressed by this and suggest everyone with an interest give it a listen.  Curious what others think.

@hodu I would say I have a lifelong affinity for them, and that JT and AB are among my favorite records of all time.  That said, when it comes to intersecting this hobby I'm disappointed even with the work of Eno/Lanois, who i normally worship when it comes to production work.  It's good to see the band meet me where I am today, a bit mellower and a bit more refined.  

 

@rpeluso your impressions match mine.  Seems like there is a lot to dig into with this one....and I only listened on my tube setup! Can't wait to see the detail and imaging downstairs.
