Brian Eno on Recording NLOTH with U2 in the Studio

[@keevyhazelton3750]

Moment of surrender is a beautiful piece.

[@rifqikhairul7458]

i love the way Eno speaks. he made shape of U2's sounds since the unforgettable fire alongside with Daniel lanois

[@Sharperthanu1]

You likely have never met Eno.I have and I can prove it.Can you say EGOMANIAC?

[@GregCameron2008]

Such an underrated album. They only get better.

[@Vibeagain]

I doubt it's underrated, you probably mean to say, underappreciated

[@guitardds]

I actually think NLOTH is the strongest album, albeit not perfect, since Achtung. At least they got more experimental.

[@YuTuboTuTubas]

agree

[@thebrightsideofthemoon5829]

After UABRS, RAH AND WIA I think AB is their best studio piece , AYCLB and NLOTH were fairly cheap attempts at U2 trying to stay popular. If some of W had came out later and mixed with AB that would've been their ultimate masterpiece. I've seen them live every tour since JT but the last tour i + e just didn't do it for me

[@hollandcowger9030]

Magnificent I think is one of their all-time best songs. I play it on the way to my baseball games and crank it up on my headphones and get pumped...then I can't hear for like an hour, but it's worth it!

[@LeeGee]

Love how Brian Eno explains how important he is.

[@rogergomez1]

the differnce is...he is that important

[@fastica]

If someone deserves a big ego, that is Brian Eno.

[@redlightmax]

@@fastica He should be called Brian Ego, amirite?🥁 [crickets] Try the veal.

[@Sharperthanu1]

Yeah,that's more like it

[@NicolasVanhove]

They should have kept those exotic sounds!!

[@wolfgangmarkusgstrein8522]

Adam Clayton gradually built up as THE MAN !!!

[@YuTuboTuTubas]

maybe is one of my favorite U2/eno/lanois albums

[@kevingregoire2764]

Love love love Fez.

[@alisonpearson5017]

In my opinion there best album! Take out stand up comedy and every track is 5 out of 5! Moment of surrender and unkown caller are among u2s best songs!

[@lorivought2546]

I really like "Stand Up Comedy"!

[@alexandriaocasio-smollett5078]

🤦‍♂️

[@rifqikhairul7458]

breathe is agood too with the Edge's guitar riffs

[@johnpavlovitzofficial5565]

The only U2 album I find difficult to enjoy. Just something about it feels off to me. It was the first time an album came out and I walked away feeling disappointed.

[@lorivought2546]

Have you tried revisiting it? "Moment of Surrender", "Fez", NLOTH, "Unknown Caller", "Breather", so many great songs. Somewhat understated, moody and introspective, but very enjoyable in their own way.

[@fredh1720]

Interestingly, aside from *possibly* Achtung Baby, it's the only album of theirs I ever came away from thinking it was something genuinely special. Since then, I've come to view it as their best largely because of its lack of hits rather than despite it

[@jasonlefler3456]

I’d have been tempted to drop/add songs and perhaps reshuffle the running order a bit. Soon Magnificent Breathe No Line on the Horizon Fez - Being Born Get On Your Boots (Fish Out of Water Remix) • I’ll Go Crazy If I Don’t Go Crazy Tonight (Redanka Kick the Darkness Vocal Version) Unknown Caller Winter (Linear Version) White As Snow Cedars of Lebanon Moment of Surrender

[@TheNeileo72]

I loved the instrumentals and rhythms however Bono’s voice felt off like he couldn’t hit the high notes like he could 10 years ago.

[@fastica]

It’s funny, NLOTH is the only album from U2 in the 2000s that I enjoy. The closer they were to the experimental sound from the 90s.

[@onitsed-]

When I see this guys In company of their work friends I don't see four guys band I see a lot of friends band

[@brianmonticello5510]

I want to hear these songs they tossed out.

[@greensombrero3641]

It's a fantastic album

[@joeferreira4992]

Terrible album

[@gmar7836]

This is really interesting, this video clip seeing the band in an actual Studio and Studio is not at all what I imagine they would be in.

[@ianpearson8976]

Last half decent album they did is the one with elevation on it and beutiful day.

[@giovannisarro4758]

Better than SOI

[@WookieeWarrior20]

I'd take Sleep Like A Baby Tonight over NLOTH as a whole any day.

[@petervanherp6691]

Giovanni Sarro Much, much better indeed!

[@petervanherp6691]

Giovanni Sarro SOI is boring as hell!

[@manolongonzalez3628]

And forgettable

[@francisdaly1757]

Breathe is far superior to Sleep Like a Baby Tonight

[@brainsmoothy]

where are the songs that didnt make it? of all the people that would leak it, wouldn't it be brian eno?

[@SXI96]

They were trying to be experimental again, but it didn't work, unlike Achtung Baby which is a masterpiece Overall, U2 is a great band and have made some amazing music through the decades

[@RONNYMORRISMUSIC]

I would be pissed having a guy standing next to me all the time talking my guitar every time I would want to put it down. Come on guys!!1 lol

[@bobboberson2024]

Huh???

[@vinylcharly6732]

nice

[@daviddeutschland6123]

I really hate when people write only first letters. Do you really think you save time?

[@smujiodome]

Lazy bastard I think.

[@LeeGee]

Took me a moment

[@Civilian2.0]

I'm not keen on how much the Edge leans on Dallas now, I've seen other videos where he doesn't seem to know his signal chain, or specific guitar tunings - I'd love him to go back and play the War album with just the effects he had at the time.

[@joshuapeterson6072]

No line on the horizon was the beginning of the end. Not looking for pop hits just a decent melody I can believe in.

[@Pstaines439]

Agreed, just a weak album.

[@AlanKelso]

Fair point, well made. Vegas was inevitable.

[@benjaminclark9622]

better than HTDAAB and maybe slightly better or slightly worse than ATYCLB - not sure. Better than SOI...that album is vanilla.

[@signedelacroix7213]

What?

[@joyousracket8767]

I like the album ok, fine. But it doesn’t seem like a U2 album…more like a soundtrack that the members of U2-and their collaborators Eno and Daniel Lanois-all contributed to equally. So, the members of U2 were in the room, but it’s not a “U2 album” per se. Nothing wrong with that, of course. My two cents…

[@PaweSkorupinski]

Could be a "Passengers" album :)

[@ka5269]

The 'world music' album might have been better

[@sophiafake-virus2456]

So they used the vibe of the other guys, then deleted them, and didn't give em writing credits.

[@deanwalker7216]

Edge just needs to shave it. Nobody cares about a receding hairline.

[@ricjuk]

They haven't done anything truly interesting or experimental since Pop and anyone who thinks any different is either deluded or doesn't know anything about experimental music...

[@KattenJonsson]

You must be fun at parties

[@ricjuk]

@@KattenJonsson What has how much fun I may or may not be at parties got to do with the fact that U2 hasn't done anything truly interesting or experimental since the Pop album?? (Which ironically has some of the best party tunes on it)!

[@thelmaviaduct]

True that. They bottled being experimental after Pop because the ameritard fans didn't 'get' AB, Zooropa and Pop, their best albums.

[@jamestonkin8610]

Here's my opinion and anyone who disagrees with it it deluded or deranged.......erm okay mate

[@ricjuk]

@@jamestonkin8610 Ok ok, it is just my opinion and I usually do put a disclaimer whenever I state my opinion somewhere on the internet, that it JUST my opinion and no one has to agree with me. But in this particular case, I do think that it is actually a straight up, stone cold fact that anyone who thinks U2 have done anything remotely 'experimental' since the song Miami, is deluded, deranged and any other d-words you can think of... I will retract the word 'interesting' though as that is indeed subjective. I do not 'personally' find anything they have done since the Pop album interesting or exciting but that is just my opinion. I did enjoy the first few songs on ATYCLB when it was released though. It was refreshing at the time to hear them go back to their old sound for one album after 10 years of not caring what people thought..

[@HankCScorpio]

Weakest album indeed. I must say however, that u2's weakest material is better than some bands best

[@DrSwitchpiglet]

HankCScorpio. I really like that album, unlike most.

[@Samdemaeyer]

indeed

[@RR64434]

Agreed there are some great Tracks but it is one of my least revisited albums but I do go back to it from time to time

[@adamczarnecki4982]

By far their worst. Dreadful sound quality as well.

[@johnmc3862]

What?

[@ars4455]

ohmygosh, photo shoots are so embarrassing

[@rstitch1992]

Yeah this album is a shame can only listen to first four five songs , they do some of them good live but album is their weakest except for experience.

[@swamisalami3000]

Weak album. Really didn’t like it.

[@goalkeeper484]

The last time, when U2 was creative.

[@TheJoseph5117]

Awful album.

[@Horizon344]

Rubbish LP all the same

[@mickroveth2148]

WEAK ALBUM!!!! Anything after "Achtung baby" is not worthy.

[@arlottonick]

Mick Roveth All that you can't leave behind is a masterpiece. anything after I could do without.

[@TKTnetwork]

Pop was good, otherwise u r Right.

[@MrGenedancingmachine]

@@arlottonick Dad Rock

[@jaseybaby3360]

They should have quit after the zooropa tour gone off on a high

[@ricjuk]

I'd say anything after Pop but you're not far wrong...

[@joeferreira4992]

Worse U2 album by far. Makes Rattle & Hum look like a masterpiece

[@michaelgriffiths8068]

The 9 studio tracks from Rattle & Hum are all pretty much masterpieces.

[@roberttheobald7767]

Eno. Is. Pretentiious..

[@DrSwitchpiglet]

Robert Theobald. He.Is.But.He's.Contributed.Far.More.To.Music.Than.You.Ever.Will.Get.Over.It.

[@davidbennett5981]

Thankfully Eno asked Lanois to get on board... Lanois is a genius (ask Peter Gabriel, Bob Dylan et all) that took U2 to stardom.

[@joeldb]

He's exactly the opposite. What a weird thing to say

[@LeeGee]

Brian Eno is such a tosser
