I'm guessing that he means in terms of innovation...I'm guessing. WITS was part of the 2006 Rock Rubin sessions, and the recent Mojo article with Edge said they shelved those....

I know, though since someone threw in 'beatles' again, I was wondering
ah well, only two more months, I hope...

This also means we've now heard from Lanois, Lillywhite, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Edge's mom, and Harry Crosbie about the new album. Quite a list.

And don't forget Eno told the fans at Hanover Quay Moment of Surrender was the best thing he's recorded with U2.

Alright, I'm gonna call it: Tomorrow President Elect Obama is going to claim this album is the great change U2 needs

Not sure if I'm happy with it or not...WITS is a nice song, but for a complete album?
But I'm glad this probably means that the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band-snippet in BD will stay!

Amazing. This is how news get made. It starts with a statement that compares the quality of the creative process on the latest album to the Beatles and ends with "an album sounding like WITS".

With regards to Will.I.Am producing on the album, perhaps it will be like Coldplays Lost+ with Jay-Z which wasn't bad ( I think Coldplay helped write his lyrics). At least Brian Eno has some experience with rap/hip hop anyway, perhaps its the connection.
From what we've heard so far I don't really feel that the album will be as 'fantastically innovative' as everyone is saying, the 'best U2 album ever' talk is worriesome, because it creates expectations that are going to be hard to live up to, U2 are not in their prime. I would prefer if they didn't talk up the album to this degree, and be pleasantly surprised by how good it is when it came out, rather than expecting to hear another AB and being dissappointed.
