    define experimental first of all what exactly do you guys expect? achtung baby 2? wouldn't be experimental nor new, cos they've been there.

    but most importantly (imo) I think u2 found their sound by now, I'd be somewhat disappointed if they threw that away and went totally gaga with something new that's not them.


    I don't need an experimental album, just a good one.
    I for one love the Pop-Album. A lot of people would call that one experimental while I find a lot of Boy and War sounds in it - mixed with some new influences. So experimental is pretty relative...

    Worst case scenario for me would be a "Window in the skies" album. Awful vision.

    So you didn't like Window In The Skies? I thought it was a nice little tune - nothing groundbreaking and overly brilliant, but nice.

    it's hard to fault but it makes me wince. To nice and cheery.. . . .

    It had a strong Beatles influence. I enjoyed it...isn't strong live though.

    I think it's overproduced and too polished. I get a toothache from all this bling bling, oh oh and falsetto.

    I kinda liked the original radio leak. It was more guitar based but then U218 came out and it was indeed. . very overproduced

    totally agreed concerning the pop album and 'experimental' being relative, which is why I asked to define it first next time someone mentions it


    window in the skies - I liked that one, maybe exactly because it was so cheery and had that bit of beatles influence. a whole album full of 'window' though?

    I wouldn't say it's a worst case scenario, but I pretty much agree with what you've said

    I don't care whether it's groundbreaking, heart-stopping or anything else, I just want quality U2 music at its best, i.e. something that'll be genuinely worth forking out something around £10-15 for!

    That said, I'd buy it anyway, regardless of the cost. But I'd want it to recoup some of the fee lol...

    More irritating than an insect.
