    well!!
    finally!!! some official news about the album!!

    I was really hoping to have something new this year... but as Bono says: ‘We know we have to emerge soon but we also know that people don’t want another U2 album unless it is our best ever album. It has to be our most innovative, our most challenging … or what’s the point ?’

    that gives me the chills.... so Rock on fellas!!
  2. Finally some real news. It seems they're really on fire lately...50-60 songs isn't bad at all. Agree with Gerard, loads of B-sides coming...And I hope it won't be a double album, that just sucks. RHCP did the same with Stadium Arcadium. Good songs on these discs, but if they had put all the good songs on one CD, they would have had the album of the year title.

    I can wait till early 2009...Red Rocks is coming, UABRS...no need to be impatient.

    yeah i don't necessarily hope for a double album, with so much material I wonder if they will stick to the traditional 11 / 12 songs or shoot for a longer tracklist......and yeah UABRS will keep us busy and then we'll have the official announcement by the end of the year hopefully

    Steven was right....we did get an announcement on September 3


  4. To me this rather sound like they were more or less done with most tracks but weren't happy with the result.

    Might be just some window-dressing too, you're right about that. On the other hand, if they really started recording without a sort of scheme/plan, I like it. Just start and see where it ends.
  6. Credit to the band--and McGuine$$--for not rushing it for the Sept. 30 Grammy-eligibility deadline. Keep plugging away, boys.

    Bono actually stated that was pretty much the reason for the delay for Atomic Bomb.....this to me sounds like they just want to keep working, rather than essentially start over......i remember reading something on @U2 about Bono throwing some demo tapes in the trash can because he was so pissed.....he sounds elated to me


  8. at first i was a bit disappointed but now i'm ready, ready for what's next


  9. Unless, like Yeah said, it'll be November 2009. That would be ridiculous. Unless we actually do get another AB or JT.

    I don't mean that they're planning to start from scratch. They certainly rework some songs (with the 4th producer now) but I'm sure most are done by now - imho the main obstacle might be to have another album and not just a collection of songs. That would also go along with Edge in the Q interview...
  11. damn...

    all i can say is...damn

    but hopefully will be for the best, and hopefully will mean they'll still be touring Europe in Summer 09

  12. An album is definitely needed. The last 2 just havent listened all that great, not neccessarily due to bad music but the songs just havent blended. Im welcoming this 'delay'
