U2 - 'Pop' album download

There you go.

Sorry I kept forgetting to put the link up.

Like I mentioned the other day you will REALLY want to get the actual album soon (none of that sissy Itunes download crap) because of the actual album and CD design...how it sort of homes in on the whole Pop art theme...which when you contrast with the actual content of the music you get this wall of deliberate irony working on several levels that I happen to find really mind blowing.

Some call it pretension but I call it mad genius.

The whole crux of their 90's material was the idea of information overload and with the albums 'Achtung Baby' and 'Zooropa' and the resulting tour managed to do just that...while breaking away from the whole mold of being the vagabond religious on a pilgrimage and became more of an onstage caricature of the message in the music.

Plus I love the use of Dada in the album art work of 'Achtung Baby'.

I'll never have enough money or time to get all the degrees or take all the classes I want to...but I want to take a few more Art History classes...it help makes much more sense out of life and culture.

Okay I'll curtail my U2 fanboyism before I make some retch.

^_^

But I still hold to the opinion that not liking U2 means not having taste...oh snap...yes.

I.

Just.

Went.

There.
