  2. "as a long time fan of U2 (if i were your producer I would)... 1. Stop filtering and cutting up the drums! This is a rock band so turn up the drums please! 2. As U2 in the 80's , ignore what is popular now, no use in using the "latest" producer today... 3. Return to the organic... track on analog, don't quantize the drums, avoid using too many keyboards, stop trying to make dance music, just write good songs and bring the musical "edge" back 4. Record a "classic album"..not a "Radio album"... music radio is dead anyway. Best of luck...Al Brodeur Vinyl Rescue"

    quote below that rolling stone article... i totally agree with him...

    I don't fully agree. There are some good points. And I'm sorry a "classic" album is a radio album. Nothing can be considered a classic if it isn't heard.
  4. Fall 2012... how am I not surprised? But then again the big break can give them time away from the public after this 2 year tour and Spiderman project. They could use the rest to "dream it all up again"

    I think what he means is "stop trying to write songs to get them played on the radio and start writing songs that are good enough that the radio doesn't have a choice"...a'la Streets

    Now THAT is what I'm liking.
  7. Short video I'd guess from that same interview:



  8. so edge just said that they may continue to play the unreleased songs that they have already played in the us, plus maybe others that we haven't heard yet?

    no evidence of any of that with 6/7 concerts in a row with the same set..
  9. extrapolating what Adam said..
    "We have to focus on what we do best, and the work we did with Danger Mouse came closest to that," says Clayton.

    interesting thing

    "We want to be in the clubs and make pop music as well as the thing U2 does, but in the end, the thing we did with RedOne doesn't feel like the right fit."

    very very good thing
  11. Pity about the album being released next fall

    We were supposed to get an album at the end of 2009!

    I actually think i'd still like a Songs of Ascent more than a Brian Burton album - at the very least they could release SoA as an EP like Zooropa was to AB.

  12. That would be true if they had released it while they were touring.
