  1. There was a band once, whom shall remain nameless, who played their own instruments and wrote their own songs - around the same time as when U2 started. They got together with one of those 'hip' producers - you know, the ones the kids loved in 2007 - and you should hear the results.

    This band is still around.

    The producer was Timbaland.

    Just like this 'hip' Tiesto, he saw no need for a rock band to have drums and become devoid of bass and guitar. Because rock surely needs no real instruments, nor does it need any interesting elements.
  2. I could be wrong but I think that Bono's comment about only having six songs, and the album title itself is a bit of a joke. I feel it has his sort of underdog sense of humor to it.
  3. You know, aside from the somewhat goofy connection between that (maybe tentative) album title and what Bono's been saying about how U2 need very good reasons to exist and all that, I really like that as a title for the album. It rings true for them right now and aside from that it's just a decent title for an album, at least in my opinion.

    As long as their final album is called Man...
  6. Pop (Fish Out Of Water remix)


  7. Me too

    I've often thought about this, but do you guys think U2 will know and tell us when their last album is released? Or do you think it will be a sort of in between tours thing where they just say "that was it" and they just postpone making a new album indefinitely? I have a hard time imagining a moment when Bono says "this is our last concert". I feel like it's not in U2 to retire like that, but with all the talk about "as long as we're relevant", that might not be too far off.

    I agree with you. I think if this album doesn't have more success than NLOTH then it will be their last. I also think they'll just say "that was our last album" after it's been released and they toured instead of before hand.
  10. There's no reason, once they stop the big-scale world tours, to stop recording new music or releasing archived stuff like they did with Unreleased And Rare.

    U2 are such a well-known group that if they went entirely independent (why they don't have U2 Records or something is amazing after all these years), that they might go with what they like the sound of. If other bands in their 60s can still be releasing new albums, U2 could as well.

    Maybe the record label itself has heard some experimental stuff and didn't like it, so told them to go back to the start and record some pop rock instead that the masses will love. How much of the masses loved Crazy Tonight (crap), Magnificent (crap) and Get On Your Boots (awesome)?
  11. maybe they should have a trip to Korea ..

    and at this point of their career they still let the label meddle with their work?
    sad
