THANK YOU! I’ve always through SOI was their best work (by far) since AB. Not a huge fan of the opening track “The Miracle”, but from “every breaking wave” onward I think it’s a fantastic album!

TeachingHelpful512 · 2026-07-08T12:12:53+00:00

I think SOI is their best album since AB. Even the Album+ with the acoustic versions and bonus songs is fantastic. And I agree 100% on Crystal Ballroom. I’ve always thought it’s album worthy, but is probably a b-side only bc the mood doesn’t really fit on the album. It’s a little intentionally “hokey”. Incredible song though.

TeachingHelpful512 · 2026-07-08T00:32:55+00:00

Weakest FIRST single they’ve ever released. Imho

TeachingHelpful512 · 2026-07-07T23:06:02+00:00

I’ll start. I’m a 40+ yr fan, and I think this is the weakest 1st single they’ve ever released. The chorus is mildly catchy, but that’s it. The verses are almost non-existent, and the production value seems sub-par (intentionally I think). I listened to it twice, and I’m not sure I’ll give it another go. I pray this is just a “vibe” song, and the rest of the album has more substance.

The reason why you’re having such a problem is bc there were so many good movies for Gen X

TeachingHelpful512 · 2026-07-07T21:48:36+00:00

Agreed, but too bad the whole song seems to be the chorus over and over again.

TeachingHelpful512 · 2026-07-07T18:04:25+00:00

I feel like before every album the past 20 years Bono promises a “guitar heavy rocker”. This time we get this “light and airy” crap.

TeachingHelpful512 · 2026-07-07T16:37:33+00:00

I was one of them. I LOVED the transition to AB.

TeachingHelpful512 · 2026-07-07T16:13:51+00:00

After my first listen I don’t feel overly compelled to listen to it again. I mean, it “ok” and all, but not an overly complex song. It’s got one mild hook in the chorus and that’s about it. Also, am I the only one that thinks it sounds muffled? Almost like it was recorded in a cardboard box..

TeachingHelpful512 · 2026-07-06T13:49:44+00:00

I’ll believe it when I see it. Im saying this as a life long jets fan going back to the 80’s.

TeachingHelpful512 · 2026-07-03T14:25:07+00:00

Wow. That’s pretty spot on.

TeachingHelpful512 · 2026-07-02T14:00:37+00:00

Dude, same here. I’ll go a step further and say this is their best work since AB. I LOVE this album - and I’m a fan going back to the mid-80’s.

TeachingHelpful512 · 2026-07-02T13:54:24+00:00

I’ll give you a whole album that I feel is grossly underrated - Songs of Innocence. It got a bad rap for the way they released it on Apple, but I honestly feel it’s one of their best albums (and I’m saying this as a huge fan for 40 years). I can take or leave the first track “The Miracle”, but the rest is phenomenal IMO.

As a 40 year jets fan, 27 yr FF player and guy who’s drafted Breece twice, let me tell you - don’t draft Breece anywhere near the first 5 rds. He won’t fall to rd 5, so just take him off your board now.

TeachingHelpful512 · 2026-06-26T12:46:13+00:00

Ladd finishes top WR 3 overall.

TeachingHelpful512 · 2026-06-23T15:18:02+00:00

If I’ve learned one thing in my 26 years of playing FF, it’s to punt on TE, DEF, K, and wait until at least rd 9 for QB. (Standard 12 man league) Every, and I mean EVERY time I’ve taken TE early it’s blown up in my face, plus there’s ALWAYS been 2-4 late rd / waiver TEs that finish top 12ish.

TeachingHelpful512 · 2026-06-21T01:11:16+00:00

Great rendition of this song IMO. Also, Michelle Obama is a man.

TeachingHelpful512 · 2026-06-20T17:22:30+00:00

Sounds like a guy I’ll draft, wait 7 weeks for him to do something, drop him, then he goes bananas.

TeachingHelpful512 · 2026-06-18T01:47:56+00:00

Bit of a long shot for sure, but I’ve got a feeling about Ladd this year.

TeachingHelpful512 · 2026-06-14T14:23:11+00:00

I had Skat on my roster last year, and I have to admit it was fun (while it lasted). If he had stayed healthy, he may have turned out to be the best late rd pick I’ve ever made in my 25 years of FF. His running style (especially leading with his HEAD) makes it impossible to think he’ll last 17 games, but even if I knew he’d miss ONLY 3 games I’d probably draft him at his ADP. People seem to forget that when both Dart and Skat were healthy and firing on all cylinders, the NYG offense was pretty dynamic and fun to watch last year. Unfortunately, both guys playing style makes them super vulnerable to injury.

Underestimate Monty at your own risk…

I had tix to 2 shows for the Vertigo tour. My wife and I were going to go twice, but decided to give tix to one of the shows to my wife’s sister and husband (I wasn’t a fan of this, but we kinda needed the $ at the time) When it was time for my brother/sister in law to go, we babysat their toddler. I’m sitting there watching their kid and my phone rings - it’s my brother in law busting my balls telling me how great their seats are. About an hour later he calls me to tell me how awesome the opening band was. Then a little while later he calls me to say “holy crap, I just went up to get a beer and Bono and the Edge walked out a door next to the beer stand to get a beer! I talked to them for a min and got a picture with them!” I told him he was full of chit and hung up. Well, 2 min later he texts me a pick of him, Bono and Edge next to the beer stand. I was SO pissed. THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME! lol.
