That being said, I didn't play any U2 boots or tracks since June 2016 (go figure, they're still my favorite band).
Since the leak appeared I have read many opinions and reviews and notes people left everywhere (fans, not magazines etc.) which tears me apart more and more whether to listen to it or not. Some say it's their worst, some even have the balls to say it's better than Achtung Baby.
Most people act like "it's a U2 album, you only need to listen to it often enough to like it" well, no. NLOTH got me right from the first play and to date, it's still my favorite album und has more plays than any other U2 record.
I didn't like SOI in the first place, and well - even October hast 3x more plays than this album. SOI had amazing lyrics at least, that made me go to the concerts.
I read the SOE lyrics and I cannot find any sense in them, nothing there that's talking to me. some even make me think "did Bono had a glass too much?".
Guess I'm afraid that one thing being stable over 3 decades in my life might finally disappoint me.
I don't think I will listen to it that soon.
