So U2 have just released the first official single from their forthcoming album "Songs Of Experience." Number one thing that surprised me here is that the album actually looks like it will see release within the year (Dec. 1st), which would bring an end to the absurd four/five year pattern the band began between All That You Can't Leave Behind and How To Dismantle And Atomic Bomb (also two of their least interesting efforts to date, as with much of their 2000s material). This means the new album comes at a standard 3 years after Songs Of Innocence was dropped into everyone's iTunes accounts, which is kind of amazing for U2. In addition, and the big reason why I don't think the Dec. 1st date is a joke, the band has released one official single from the new album and debuted two more of the albums tracks live on their current tour. While nothing here really compares to the band's heyday, to my ears this is some of the most interesting material they've put out in years. Easily more so than Songs Of Innocence, How To Dismantle And Atomic Bomb, and All That You Can't Leave Behind. Anyway, you can judge these songs for yourself I'm sure, so here are the links to the videos of the three tracks, I believe each one is better than the last: The Little Things That Give You Away: Blackout: https://youtu.be/jKWVNNoNHgI You're The Best Thing About Me:
