    these days, more than ever, you have to be real careful how and when you release singles and albums, as they spread like wild fire across the web in moments.

    there's still plenty of time for an announcement sometime in Sept, then a mid October single building up to a November release. if there is still no new by end of this month then we'll have something to discuss







    But we all know they shouldn't rush it...We know Pop...
  2. The Christmas market seems to be too much of a money spinner for U2 not to cash in on. If its gonna be a January release I hope they do the odd promo/rehearsal gig before Christmas and use them to debut the new stuff. Would be great but not likely

    There are alternate ways to milk the christmas cow. The download vouchers I mentioned are only one way. Portishead did it the same way, they're also signed by Universal...



    Yep, one of the best records they ever made.


  4. lol....I agree with you on that, but what could it have been if they had more than enough time to really finish it?

    Judging by the "new" versions, they would have made it worse.


  6. You mean the new mixes from Discotheque, SATS and Gone? Personally I like those (except for SATS) better than the original, but everyone to his own....

    true. but for U2 the bulk of album sales will be traditional, as McGuiness has recently stated, the band still sells a ton of CDs, physical ones...and those are huge for the holidays, as they can be wrapped in pretty paper and put under the tree

    aka live version style playing in the studio?

    they shouldve done that with the fly from elevation IMO
  9. If they need to postpone the album to make it better, why not? I want a good album, if that means more time to wait, I can live with that. I want the best, not some half-produced album.

    I agree, however I've been waiting so long lol. I think U2 are building up hype, considering the album right now is in mixing, or already done. They're clever they are.
  11. I notice my scan is now on Interference and by due process Scatter O Light. How cool's that?!


  12. Were u credited? Darn leechers. . Cool tho
