i personally don't think we're gonna get some big new experimental sound. i do think we'll get some great songs with some experimentation involved, but i just don't see/hear it being as ground breaking as AB or Pop...and not because the band is lazy, but because in the last 10-20 years a lot has been done, so it's near impossible to pull out some never-before-heard sound/genre. technology has made experimentation readily available even to the novice musician these days.
Personally, i'd have no problem at all with another album along the lines of ATYCLB and Bomb. Hell, they could even strip it down further if you asked me...all about the songs in my eyes, regardless of the production and innovation in the studio, the true test is if Bono/Edge can play/sing it on an acoustic guitar and it still sores. I believe it will...
pretty much agree with you
though if it really will be something 'ground breaking' as AB, I'll be delighted just as well!
