    if only they had the guts to do that. they want everything to be too perfect the past 10-15 years. I wouldn't mind a raw album, but I don't think we'll get it.
    The fact that he mentioned Zooropa being a favorite for many people is hopeful, though!
  2. Just get it out, otherwise this tour will just become iNNOCENCE tour.
  3. "We might just go for it. We might just say, ‘It is more important to get it out than to make it perfect.’ Which was the truth with Zooropa. And it is a lot of people’s favourite album!"


    POP and Zooropa are great for this reason! Give us anoher raw album please; stop striving for perfection and all will be well.
  4. Please don't give us a half-assed album like Pop.
  5. Yeah, give us a overproduced album like your avatar

    Knowing U2 they won't release anything before they're sure it is the best they can do.
  6. If it's anything like Zooropa or Pop, then that's great, imo.

    If it comes out that is, of course..
  7. rather half-assed but daring and exciting like POP, then overproduced, safe and a little boring like ATYCLB.
  8. Agree.
  10. Or you can enjoy both for what they represent, you know? I'm like Switzerland here.
  11. Actually I'd rather see something more like HTDAAB than Pop.


    SOI is much closer to HTDAAB than Pop. In fact, I'd say that it could be a direct predecessor to HTDAAB. Yes, I love ATYCLB much more than Pop. Come at me.
  12. I understand the point of comparison between Pop and ATYCLB production-wise, but how can Pop be labeled "half-assed"? Sure it wasn't finished to the band's liking, but it wasn't for lack of effort! Isn't the reason for PopMart getting off to a rocky start due to them delaying the release of Pop until March 1997, because they couldn't agree on how to best blend rock music with club music? I think the result was still brilliant, and even if it sounds unfinished in places it's certainly not because they just gave up. With the tour looming, they had no choice.

    Anyway, back to SOE. If the I & E tour currently already has an innocence theme and experience theme with the stage and set list narrative, does this worry anyone that the band will end up overthinking the album and not releasing it until the end of the tour?
