A collection of 13 songs in the form of intimate letters to places and people including family, friends and fans, featuring tracks `The Blackout" and first single `You're The Best Thing About Me'. Review: U2 - Red Flag Day - I have been a U2 fan since 1980, when I bought U2 Boy on cassette at the tender age of 10. I was a hardcore new wave U2 fan up until The Joshua Tree, which turned me off initially, due its massive success, which at the time seemed like a "sellout". I did eventually appreciate it, but never fully embraced it. I was totally turned off by Rattle and Hum, thought I lost them for good until the stunning turnaround of Achtung. Wow, what an incredible transformation! I am still in awe of the transformation and that album. Zooropa through Pop was absolutely fantastic. To me, ATYCLB was the beginning of a "packaged U2 sound", where they seemed to finally have come to a type of “U2 sound” and they really haven’t changed that much since. Having said that, this album, IMO, is the best of their post Pop albums by quite a stretch. The songs hang together much better and are MUCH stronger across the board than any other post Pop album. The album also avoids most of the more cheesy production values that have tended to plague some of their post 2000 output - they always seem to thread a cheesy keyboard line/tinkling type thing or something into too many songs - this album avoids that for most part (except for Love is Bigger), helping create a more authentic sound. I’m OK with the Love theme, this album pulls it off by starting off with an Eno-esque ode to Love and committing to the ideal throughout - i prefer the purity of it, if that is where they are at in their lives as artists, than try to pretend they are the dark mystery horse of Achtung or something - it’s not like U2 need to try to “go dark” like Taylor Swift or something as part of a “pose” of some sort, they are just a wee bit beyond that type of pretense and deservedly so. Making sincere music about humanity and connection seems about as radical as anything these days. I definitely don’t need Pitchfork trying to tell me how uncool U2 is, I can smell their hipster tripe a mile away. I can say for certain that Red Flag Day is my favorite song from U2 since maybe the War album, certainly since Achtung Baby. That song is worth the price of admission alone. Real chills from that one, it embodies the best of how U2 can make you feel. There are a couple missteps that hold it back from potentially being a full on stone cold classic. American Soul has an excellent verse structure but I’m having a hard time fully embracing the chorus, “you and I are rock n’ roll”, — just feels a little, yes again, cheesy....also doesn’t really fit the verse. I am also not totally digging Love is Bigger - slightly forgettable and has that instrumentation part that sounds like Muzak or something. Other than that, it’s the most enjoyable and consistent album from U2 in the Post Pop era and may very well may rank in their top 5 when it’s all said and done, which I hope isn’t for a long time to come! Review: The strongest U2 album in years! It's GREAT. - This is the most fresh U2 Album in many years. I didn't know they could step it up even more, but they did. This band knows how to sound new in every album, even in every song. Each song on this album is very strong, there's no weakness in this album. There's no song that can be passed over. We'll never get a new Joshua Tree or Achtung Baby - those were incredible albums, but products of who U2 were at in those times. This is the next great U2 album. It won't sound like your other favorite U2 albums, but it's new, and it's GREAT. Bono sounds fantastic. Larry, Adam, and Edge are on top of their game. The production value on this album is better than anything else you've heard. Musically each song takes you in a new direction, lyrically it's brilliant, and overall I want more! I am a huge U2 fan. There isn't much they've done that I haven't liked. That said, this album certainly exceeded my expectations! If you like U2, rock music, any music at all... buy this album! This is not another Songs of Innocence, despite being the companion album. I really loved SoI, but I understand why other people didn't care for it. I can't understand why you wouldn't like this album. Bono, Edge, Larry, Adam, if you're reading his review, then hear me out: Never stop making music! Please! No band can change the world, but you have changed my world! You've given me the joy in my world and helped me through the lows and sorrows in my world. I can't imagine my life without you. Thank you so much for all the music, inspiration, love, and the best experiences of my life! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B076MB7731 | | Best Sellers Rank | #86,336 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #40,789 in Rock (CDs & Vinyl) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (2,347) | | Date First Available | November 2, 2017 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Label | Interscope | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Interscope | | Number of discs | 2 | | Original Release Date | 2017 | | Product Dimensions | 12.32 x 12.36 x 0.39 inches; 8.32 ounces | ## Images ![Songs Of Experience - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/815Es22ZV-L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ U2 - Red Flag Day *by P***X on December 7, 2017* I have been a U2 fan since 1980, when I bought U2 Boy on cassette at the tender age of 10.

Now, I can't stop playing it. It's definitely another sonic departure for U2, but that's to be expected. However, throughout the songs there are signature U2 sounds hiding in plain sight. Listen to Edge's slide guitar solo in Lights of Home and it will take you right back to the older, more familiar U2 of your youth. Red Flag Day is another one that while being totally fresh and new, has the power to take you back to the early days with a classic bassline, agresisvely plucked by Adam. Maybe the most subtle nod is the shaker part on the chorus of the same song - it's straight outta New Years Day. The Blackout starts with a great mix of Achtung Baby guitar meets War-era bass. Speaking of bass, Adam does a stunning job through the whole album. He's always had a distinct sound, but it seems to be nudged up in the mix just a little and it is glorious. Thematically, if you've read any interviews with Bono or the Edge in the past year you probably know that the political climate in America shaped how this album progressed. The great thing about it is that the predominant message that comes through is love - whether for your fellow humans in general or for someone specific. Any old band can make a knee-jerk "protest" record as a reaction to what they perceive as a negative political situation - but what U2 comes up with is not reaction, but response. And how should one respond to tension, fear, unrest? With love, patience, peace - all things that fly in the face of what's wrong in the world. Yes, U2 has changed but there are still plenty of things about this that are undeniably U2. ## Frequently Bought Together - Songs Of Experience - Songs Of Innocence White - No Line On The Horizon --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/51477438-songs-of-experience](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/51477438-songs-of-experience) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
