Thanks for welcoming me and thanks for the info about the album. And no, you didn't bring me down or anything... I was a lil' ecstatic when I read somewhere (I know I shouldn't believe everything I read) that it'll be more stripped down, and immediately thought of the "old" U2 sound. After "Achtung Baby" and "Zooropa" (and even "Passengers"), I'm ready for the "old U2", I guess.

Cya and thanks!
