    That's how I see it. Why haven't U2 got their own record distribution system yet where they can actually put out things without the backwards twats over at the record companies and 'so-called producers' deciding their opinion on it, causing the album to be safe and pleasing for the American pop market.

    I think it is U2 to blame, from all bands they probably are one of the few with most freedom.

    Personally I think that this process is not working for them anymore. As you say, I dont believe songs will actually improve by changing and changing them over time. Maybe it would be 'fun' for them to just set a hard deadline and make the best of it.
  2. They've earned all this freedom, them along with Radiohead and Depeche Mode to me are prime examples of artists who've been rushed in the past by their companies. Now that THEY'RE in a position of power and can take as long as they want to make their albums, ironically at the expense of the music imo...
  4. Let's enjoy the David Bowie album, perhaps the Beady Eye album (though perhaps not), and probably other cool stuff. And forget about the next U2 album for the next... 15 months? I wish U2 were a lot more silent!

    I share your opinion
  7. I see waveform -> I approve
  8. This is an extremely interesting radio show. I've never heard this version of I Will Follow before.

    Well, it's almost finished. Strange that it started in the extremely early days and ended with Rattle and Hum
  9. All finished. I think that's probably the last time anyone will ever hear Scarlet played on the radio.
  10. Bonois in Costa Rica with Ali. So he probably isn't working right now on the album
  11. Waiting for the MP3 Ross
