Well, Peace would be nice, but it's a bit simple. At least I hope they won't pick another long name. I'm getting tired of typing How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb and All That You Can't Leave Behinzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
What about:
The Last Change (it's probably the last time they start something completely new)
The Automatic Monster (don't know why, just sounds nice)
Nordicae (one of the songs is North Star)
On The Other Side Of The Fontier
Behind The Horizon (One of the songs is No Line At The Horizon)
with the past two albums there have been songs in relation with the title:
ATYCLB with Walk On (probably the lyric gave the title)
"the only baggage you can bring is all that you can't leave behind"
HTDAAB: Fast Cars, which is on some copies of the album.
"they're in the desert to dismantle an atomic bomb
as for the other albums, its really on where they were or what was going on at the time, here's some I could think of:
War: over in Europe people were scared about a nuclear war, see the Who's political album "It's Hard" and London Calling by the Clash.
Rattle & Hum: from Bullet the Blue Sky, they only song on the album not released as a single that was very popular.
Zooropa: Zoo TV tour of Europe in 1993. Zoo TV + Europa = Zooropa
Pop: at the time most music was pop and bubble gum-esque, also a great pun for the great music with the name.
I got the feeling it will be the best album of U2 ever...
