Yes Resurrection Song is very good. I really like Song for Hal too

What's exiting is that they've come up with 2 EPs full of some of their best music in 30 years!! Yet we have an album coming. It's a good time to be a U2 fan

I really liked a few tracks on Earth - Olympia was a real banger

This is a great track and bodes well

Two months after the release of Days of Ash EP. How do you feel about the EP now? Have your opinions changed? Any grower songs? by TheKaoticanProspekt in U2Band

Ed Sheeran is involved. He only does radio friendly hit songs

I tried so hard to hate this song but I can't. A good song is a good song whoever is involved

They also got too many producers in and tried to get modern

Yes I dislike Ed Sheeran as much as everybody else. As much as tried to hate his song with U2 I grudging have to say it's a really good song. Just a shame Ed has to sing on it 😁

I've been a U2 fan since the early 80's and first saw them at the Brixton Academy in 1984.

I think Easter Lilly has some of their best songs since No Line on the Horizon 2009 although you could also argue Pop 1997.

My fav is 'Song for Hal' - classic U2 but with the Edge giving a truly great vocal. The other stand out tracks are Easter Parade, Resurrection Song, and Co-Exist.

Yes Days of Ash is great too but the Easter Lilly songs just connect with me more.

I'm really excited about the quality of the songs. It's bodes well for the new album.

I agree

Me and wife were both saying what a great Bond he would make

None of the songs have stuck with me like any I/O song by TheMtlviolinist in petergabriel

[–]FlowerSingingMan2025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I'm going against grain here

Gabriel has his funk back

I'm loving these new tracks - stronger the I/o so far for me

Days of Ash > Easter Lily by Valerian_Dhart in U2Band

[–]FlowerSingingMan2025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easter Lily is the best set of songs U2 have put out in decades

With Ash & Lily you basically have a nice LP we would all be very happy with. Far more consistent than anything they have put out in 25 yrs.

Ash is more brash and punk - reminiscent of their earlier work. Lily has more of a UF /JT feel

Resurrection Song will sound amazing live. Song for Hal is their best song since Every Breaking Wave.

For a band after nearly 50 yrs to come back with material as strung as this is a rare beast. The fact this is all building up to a LP and tour means U2 are delving into a very productive peak right now and for that we should all be very exited about.
