    No Line On The Horizon would be nice though. Although U2 never uses their Album title as song title except for October, TUF and Zooropa.

    So getting on for nearly a third of their 11 main albums (excluding Passengers, 'cause who'd want to include it?!)

    What do you lot have against Passengers? It's not that bad - I'm quite liking it. We need another United Colours or Let's Go Native.

    Maybe it's called "Chocko in Morocco", "We's Been In Eze" or "Over Hanover And Not In Key".
  5. haha damn, Passengers gets so much undeserved shit! it's a good artsy Eno album, the fact that U2 plays on it makes it even better, BUT i don't want to turn this into a Passengers topic....back to the album....I really just want the title right now too and am all for the brevity choice in terms of titles

    Well, getting back to the one-word titles, how about "Africa".

    Ahaha, I'm just being awkward, I haven't heard the whole thing so I can't really comment overly, but most of the stuff I have heard doesn't go with me, apart from Miss Sarajevo

    It's a decent album, and probably stuck in the middle of Pop and Zooropa. United Colours sounds very much like a fast version of Zooropa with the bass-line of Big Girls Are Best - awesome surrounding effects and great way to open the album.

    Maybe another album title: Elder. Instead of Boy or Man.
  10. Originally posted by thefly07I'm gonna call it, sometime next month we will have all the info on the new album. It looks like it's gonna be released towards the end of October, like ATYCLB, and like that album the title and tracks were announced in mid-late August, which makes perfect sense, since all things being considered there will be a single in September. This will be a long month! thank god for the reissues to distract us!


    I agree 100% on this.
  11. THE BEST YET - PER STEVE LILLYWHITE

    Sunday Mirror

    U2's legendary producer, Steve Lillywhite, claims the band's eagerly-
    awaited new album will be their BEST ever. He has worked with the
    band since their first album, Boy, was released in 1981, and now he
    is back in the studio with them as they put the finishing touches to
    their latest album prior to its October release.

    Veteran DJ Tony Fenton said he met Steve and was struck by how the
    told how the famous producer was ranting about the new album. Tony
    said: "I met Steve recently and we got talking about the band's new
    album. He is so excited about the record and claims it's the best
    record they have ever done.

    "I know people think he might say that - but that's not the kind of
    thing somebody like Steve Lillywhite says easily. Like the rest of
    people who love music I'm so looking forward to it."

    U2 even missed the recent Nelson Mandela Tribute Concert in London
    because they were so caught up in putting the final touches to the
    album at their Hanover Quay Studios in Dublin's Docklands.

    The group recorded initially recorded a lot of new material in
    Morocco - but then scrapped a lot of it and started again because
    they didn't think it was up to their high standards.

    A source said: "U2 have never put out a dud record and they don't
    want to start now. In fact it's got to the stage with them that they
    want to put out a classic but still make it fresh and new. They know
    they are coming very close but they still have a bit of work to do
    yet."

    The album is the first studio work the band will released since their
    smash hit How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb in 2004.
