Discussion of U2's future: new singles, new tour, etc.

Originally posted by Arieesi don't get it.. when i see interviews edge says "we're trying to figure out what songs will make it on the album" ... put as many as you can on! u2 certainly know what they are doing but i mean come on. if you have 11-12 great songs and 2 "so-so" songs who cares?? i'd rather hear the 2 so so songs as well rather to just be left behind and found out years later.

it'd be great to have an album chocked full of songs but i'm guessing it will be a record of 11 or 12 great songs. i'd love to be proven wrong though

the band is so meticulous when it comes to their track lists. i know we don't care what they put on it (slight exaggeration) but the band obviously pines away to find the songs that need to be on the album, according to them, I trust them so I will be happy with however many tracks there are

Well, you say meticulous, just look at JT - Kirsty MacColl came up with the tracklist there; the only guidelines they said were that Streets was first and Mothers was last - that doesn't exactly suggest extreme pickiness

touche! i seem to recall hearing about difficulty for the HTDAAB tracklist and maybe ATYCLB, maybe they have just gotten more meticulous? hence why it takes them 3 1/2 years to make an album

that was back then they probably got some higher standards now, I guess.
(and besides, what could you do wrong with the JT tracklist? lol)

I'd rather want them to think twice about what to put on their album though.. and I'm glad they do.

Originally posted by RemyJust added a new poll on the U2start frontpage:

Which of the following rumoured song titles of the new album sounds the most promising?

Moment of Surrender
North Star
Love Is All We Have Left
No Line On The Horizon
If I Could Live My Life Again

My vote is for Moment of Surrender, which Brian Eno called "the best thing" he had recorded with U2

Originally posted by flowerchildI voted for 'no line on the horizon' because, as already mentioned, the title sounds awesome already

'love is all we have left' sounds the kitchiest to me,
but who knows... in the end this turns out to be my fav track on the album (if it exists)
