It's on the news sidebar under the November 17th entry.

I'd listen to it, but I don't have time now.

Vertigo makes me want to strangle someone. But then maybe that's just because it plays 5 times a night every night on the radio and I have nothing better to do at work.
The music industry is a cruel and shallow money trench where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.

Vertigo = dad jumping around with hairbrush and tennis racket, good stuff

The rest of the album wasn't exactly great
nope.

I saw them play Vertigo on Saturday Night Live last night. Good stuff.

I couldnt find anything other than the 30 second teaser clip of Vertigo, which was kind of funny because you could buy the song off of iTunes a month ago.

I cant wait for Tuesday. I really dont put much faith into what other people tell me about music, especially stuff like U2, where they've never had a bad album (ya, Zooropa and Pop if I had to make a top 5 list of U2 albums, they'd be in it).

I hear it's good but not great. Not because the songs are middle of the road, but because it has some great ones and some bad ones.

I got it off iTunes last night at 12:01. It's really quite good, reminds me of All That You Cant Leave Behind + Achtung Baby.

The first 6 tracks are pretty sweet, havent really listened past those yet.

I'll have to give it a listen before I buy. I still haven't done that.

The comparisions between Vertigo and You Keep Me Hanging On are spot on. In the chorus, at the part where he sings "you give me something" I always want to sing "you just keep me hanging on"
