    But for the fact that I've heard something that makes me think otherwise, I'd think similar about it, the new title makes me think of some kinda Irish hangover song lol, e.g. "get on your boots son, you're late for work, ain't my fault you're pissed as a fart" etc...

    Quite possible! How else do you explain Bono blaring songs from the new album with salivating fans on the beach below?
  3. still no word on a date....

    U2 don't want to pull a HTDAAB and have a leaked album, so they're doing what the Raconteurs did.....release an album to the press and fans all at once?

    The rac's Consolers album wasn't available on preorder if I remember. They suddenly gave a release date and everyone waited. Fun, but the wait was a killa. I also remember the Who releasing an LP in July before their October 31st release, Endless Wire.

    And about the cover.... anyone remember the Neon Bible album cover by Arcade Fire? Or shall we go back to 1967 again?

    This is another U2 roots album while the sound will have a layer of freshness and the layer we all know as the U2 touch - all of the sound. Lyrically, this could be either a deadbeat or stellar.

    I predict this album to give off the same effect the Joshua Tree did for the sound, because of the roots thing. I could be wrong though, come the fall.

    There is go way U2 is pulling an Achtung with the sound, because they've already been in that neck of the woods, and probably have the urge for innovation. I could be wrong again too.

    So my overall thoughts / prediction?

    Achtung's synths meet the Joshua Tree's eras roots.

    In simpler terms, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, featuring Bono as lead singer, and synths have drenched the work.
  4. My God. Steve's morphed into rmann83......



  5. Oh he did... I just think it's a mix between Pop and AB with a slight touch of the last two albums. Might be completely wrong though...
