Bomb is a great fucking record with incredible strength IMO thus making it a viable candidate for best album. However, the past 2 records are clearly U2 sticking to what they do best: write great fucking songs. I think U2 enjoyed that period but after Bomb felt they had to actually chase something new, and I hope the new album will be the result of that ambition. Bono said to either Jo Whiley or Q that whatever they were doing had to change. The last two albums specifically weren't trying to reinvent the wheel, so people complaining about that as a weak point can kind of shut up because that isn't the point. Who knows if the next album will be as stark a contrast as Achtung Baby was, but this will be a make or break album I think for the band, it has to be great if they are to remain relevant, especially at this point in their career
sometimes it annoys me a little how fans literally refuse to see the beauty in atyclb and (especially) htdaab. Originally posted by WojBhoyArgh, too much to catch up on. I like the look of the NLOTH cover, even if it is pretty clearly a fake lol, but FAR TOO MUCH Photoshop talk for my liking lol...

ATYCLB = Reapplying for best band in the world, doing what they do best. Check
HTDAAB = A rock 'n' roll record. Again doing what they do best. Somewhat of a look back on their early days with heavier sound.
New Album (presumably No Line On the Horizon) = Their next album that takes a left turn, into the uncharted territory. U2 will shock their fans once more. What's in bold (that I made bold btw) is exactly what my thoughts have been.

Originally posted by RattleandHum1988Jesus. This is my first time getting ready for a new U2 album as a fan!!! I only started listening to their music RIGHT after they came to my town on the vertigo tour. After a couple months, I was hooked, and now they're my religion (by the way, we all should look into that). So now, it's like WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA for me! I'm so excited for this album! I hope it's amazing and as great as we're all hoping for. I'm sure it will be, even if it is crap it's U2, so we'll still all love it very much haha!
