  1. I agree. NLOTH is more than good, but its sounds to forced. Band sounds like they are too focused on a certain sounds, melodies.

    I rather have a more relaxed attitude. Same attitude as in the song Vertigo. A song clearly built to burn the house down as they say. Where Get On Your Boots feels unnaturally forced. Magnificent sounds 'boring on purpose'.

    Im harsh here, its still a good album. But a band like U2 wants more than that. The album stars excellent with No Line though.

    That worries me. So he's are not satisfied with NLOTH after all?


    I was actually reading another U2 forum (which was cracking me up with all the jokes going around concerning this,) bringing up the countless times we heard the phrase "The Edge is on fire!" in anticipation of NLOTH. "Magnificent' may be his throwback to his soaring guitar lines, but other than that, I rarely caught glimpses of guitar work that merits "on fire". Maybe "Breathe", Maybe.

    Solos in Unknown Caller and MoS both warrant the phrase imo.
  4. from @U2....

    Appearing on the Brazilian TV show Fantastico, Bono says the band recently recorded three new songs:

    "At the end of October, we had one of the best shows of our lives in Los Angeles. We left the stage so excited that we went straight to the studio and recorded three new songs."

    Bono's probably exaggerating on the "straight into the studio" after the Pasadena show thing; he and Edge reportedly spent a couple weeks working on new songs after the band's Berlin performance on November 5th. The Brazilian interview was taped last week at the (RED)/Nike event in London. Bono also confirmed off-camera that U2 will bring the U2 360 tour to Brazil, but he didn't say when.


  5. Hardly a reason to associate the phrase "The Edge is on fire" with the entire album, as it seemed it was before.

    Though I completely agree.

    Honestly, Edge has been 'on fire' so many times now I think we should send him a pair of flame-retardant knickers.

    Three new songs?! Thats some awesome news. One of them is Winter i guess.


  9. That would make it only two new songs then...

    "Hey guys, we have a new version of One Step Closer, this one will rock your socks off!"


  10. I don't think they reworked Winter, I think they just put a different mix on it. But if Bono says three new tracks it's probably one rough concept and two ideas

    New titles:

    Funk Shock From Venus
    The Ledge Has A Desire
    Dance Floor Is In Shock

    All based on previous Bonoisms.


  12. We might add Molten Metal
