1. All these reviews seem too good to be true frankly
  2. Critics freakin' LOVE U2, which I've always found odd and to be the total opposite of what I'd assume they'd think based on the mainstream opinion of U2.

    But yeah, I can't wait for us all to listen and start posting our thoughts.

    That's not my experience. Only Q/Hot Press and RS are normally positive, others are pretty critical
  5. A positive NME review, now THAT would really get me hyped!
  6. Rolling Stone usually are....I know there are others but I can't think of them. I just remember reading a ton of overly-positive reviews for NLOTH, and well, we all know how that turned out
  7. Or a positive Pitchfork review! Though realistically not a snowball's chance in hell of that happening. A score over 5.0 would be a shock.
