1. Before tour continues next year or after third or fourth leg?
  2. Zooropa/Passengers Rocking?
  3. I'd venture to guess a March or May release. Basing this on nothing but hope

    The "Scott's" both mentioned that they had got to hear about 4 of the "Experience" songs with Bono sitting right next to them, and randomly Bono would bust out into some of the chorus on songs like he couldn't contain himself. They said that the new songs sounded really good and rockin.


    Thanks! Let's see...

    "I've heard enough. Reminds me 'Zooropa'. And there is a hint of Passengers also. Sounds much more artistic and abstract than 'Songs Of Innocence'. Due out next year, but I've heard it before."

    I don't trust music journalists, except a few. Many of them dashed SOI. Or other excellent albums, such as Noel Gallagher's latest. So I'd take this with a pinch of salt.
  6. Yes, this is actually not unlikely. If the tour is to continue next year, they'll have to pull out a second album in the Spring. Why not?
  7. Can't wait, Zooropa is my favorite album
  8. If its anything like Zooropa/Passengers then I think I'd go mad. Zooropa is my favourite album... I don't think I've mentioned it before...

    Passengers-like album? That's what I've been waiting for. As good as SoI is - it has at least three quarters of a good album, there needs to be more.

    We pull into a lay-by so he can play tracks from the next album, Songs of Experience. His voice comes through his phone singing about “the dying of the light”. He harmonises with himself as the album continues and gives every song an introduction: “On this one we were going after a broken cassette recorder type of sound”; “This has got a really crunchy beat”; “You have to hear Edge’s guitar work on this”; “Just wait until you hear the drum break on this one.” He’s lost in his music, staring out the window as he sings along.

    The Italian prime minister is waiting but it seems that cat can chill. Bono keeps scrolling and playing. “We’re going to get this album out next year; unusually for us, a lot of the songs are done already,” he says. (I’ve heard that before.)

    I suspect, only need a wry look from Larry for them to record all over again.
