    Well, put it this way: we're getting four more albums of that 'style', as U2 renewed their contract with Universal late last year - so it's more of the same?

    But were Eno nor Lanois involved with HTDAAB - maybe it will be popular if those two are involved.
  2. Let's break down what Electro refers to...

    Electro, short for electro funk (also known as robot hip hop and Electro hop) is an electronic style of hip hop directly influenced by Kraftwerk and funk records (unlike earlier rap records which were closer to disco). Records in the genre typically have electronic sounds and some vocals are delivered in a deadpan, mechanical manner often through a vocoder or other electronic distortion.

    So think bands like Kraftwerk, Hawkwind...and it also refers to breakdancing.

    Don't tell me U2 are gonna breakdance in their new videos and at their shows.

    it will probably end up as nothing but it sounds good to me. The proof is in the pudding and not the hype

  10. MANILA, Philippines - As talk persisted among internet chat groups that the Irish rock band U2 is set to play in Manila, Inquirer Entertainment sought to verify the wild rumor.

    The information we gathered was exciting enough to share with readers. “Yes, we’re working on it,” said an officer of Concertus, an events, concerts and marketing affiliate of MTV Philippines.

    Unconfirmed date of the impending gig is sometime in October (the e-groups have not mentioned their sources—the same month that the new U2 album is set to be released.

    U2 might perform in September/October to increase sales on their new album, I think.

    Interesting...they've never played the Phillippines, have they? I wonder why they'd start to play there now--if the rumor is true.
