  1. It's Magnificent.
  2. I'm the only one that Hates vertigo?
  3. I think I am the only person here that loves Stand Up Comedy
  4. I won't say I hate it but I think it is ahead in the running for "most overrated/played" song.
  6. it depends if you're talking about vinyl or cd version
  7. Nope
    It's one of my favorite No Line songs. I personally think it's some of Edge's best work.
  8. The solo in Stand Up is pretty good.
  10. I wish Unknown Caller had a better chorus and lyrical concept. The intro/main riff/verses musically are just awesome. I love how it opens Linear. It just ends up being a weird song though. Nothing was more awkward than when the band tried to make it a sing-along, and then Bono finished the song by slowly repeating "enter here" but with his weird Bono-Irish-American-British accent it just sounded like him saying "enta hiyaaaa" and it made me laugh.

    Rant over.

    I do still like the song, but I agree with what your saying, it's one of only 4 from the album I still listen to though. That intro isn't just awesome, it just takes me away to a completely different place musically, even the outro on the album as well but your right the lyrics don't really do much for me and the outro live didn't do it justice, sometimes Bono needs to learn to let the music speak, same can be said for magnificent and MOS live too with the 'oh's'.

    Agree wholeheartedly. He did it on Iris this past tour as well. just did like a live vocal fade out kinda thing.

    Just shut up, Bono!
