  2. No surprise here. After all, Bono is the blind ambition of the band.
  3. Wow! Great! Kind of weird to be hearing this from larry and edge first...I cant stop imagining they have put Bono in some remote locked up basement to shut him up!!
  4. we really NEED a new U2 album this year, it has been FOUR years since NLOTH... the band has to realize this ahah. I'm optimistic for a new album but I just doubt them
  5. The live 360 tracks are just about keeping me going. About time we got a whiff of a new album.
  6. I hope U2 has learned their lesson about hyping songs up long before the release date. Do you remember on the last few albums how we would hear a soundbite about how great GOYB, MOS or Magnificent are? Articles about how Get on Your Boots is AMAZING were out and about the summer of 08, and MOS since like 07. By the time the album was released the world expected too much from the hype imo. I hope this time we just get A SONG DROPPED and a release date without any proper hype. Look at the Strokes, David Bowie, Depeche Mode, Justin Timberlake this year. We haven't heard any real details about the album and that makes it that much more exciting.
  7. Boots may not have lived up to the hype until they started performing it live.

    But MOS and Magnificent very much did live up to the hype, imo.
  8. I think they might actually be doing this, keeping it low-profile until close to release...I think Bowie might have made an impression on them.

    Yep, the album had some really great tunes, I think:

    Magnificent
    MOS
    Breathe

    NLOTH is also good

    White as snow and Cedars of Lebanon are OK, but they're not live songs

    Unknown Caller may also be OK - but, again, not the best live song

    But GOYB, Stand Up Comedy and Crazy Tonight - mmm:OK B-sides!

    And no real single! Ouch.
