    THanks for posting the article though mate! Was awesome to read.


    Lol, That is so something the father of ambient music would do.

    Also, It's good that they ditched Rick Rubin, and went back to Eno/Lanois.

    I skipped that part no, although I'm interested in politics. I just wanted to read about touring and the songs.

    Just bought the Flanagan book (second-hand)... it's a good read right?


    My favorite U2-book Read it two times, absolutely funny and insightfull. Got a lot of quotes from that book too.

    "Opinion is currently divided as to whether the album will make a pre- or post-Christmas release."

    Although not attributed directly to Edge, that does lend credence to some rumblings we've heard recently from multiple sources that the band isn't satisfied with several tracks and may push the album release to early 2009.


  4. Kinda expected that to happen, it's already September now, if they were releasing an album in November and a single in October they would've announced something by now.
  5. Well, I won't probably have to buy it myself and will get it as a B-day present.....

    The interview is certainly several weeks old, if not older. Word is, that they passed the recording sessions to France as they were not happy with some songs, though. That might be true, that might be not true.
    Even if we get a release in 2009, it would probably be early in the year. Some sources point to January. So, November - January not that much of a difference.
