And that's one of the times when you know you listen to too much U2...when you hear a "boom" and have to add a "cha" to it

I agree. If they're saying it's the best thing they've ever done, it has to depart quite a bit from Bomb, and I really doubt that's going to be the case.

this is off the www.u2.com site under albums.. it can be found under the album HTDAAB... this is what Bono said about it..
" 'It's just such a personal record. It may just be our best.' Bono "
It may just be our best???? come on.. i hope this album truly is their best but Bono thought Bomb may have been their best.

because SYCMIOYO is on the record... the tribute to the reason he's a singer.

I love SYCMIOYO, but the band knows JT and AB are their best so far. JT was America, and AB was the 90s, and a reunited Germany. ATYCLB was reapplying for the best band in the world. HTDAAB was a rock record, formed out of the song Vertigo.

No, I think Bono's done with the cold, dark and heavy. U2's whole career lyrically seems to arc with life itself. We got the wide-eyed baby 'Boy', the burning coming of age in 'War', adolescent and understanding teens in 'Unforgettable Fire', building, searching and making of oneself in 'Joshua Tree' and the flourescent turbulence, tumble and up-down, static-in-the-airwaves freefall through your adult life with 'Zootopia + Pop' (my current phase thankyaveramuch)
The mid-life understanding, mortality and appreciation that would come with age (I imagine)is where 'ATYCLB' found its voice and 'HTDAAB' was a broad look, not only to the world and what it is but a look back at yourself and what you are and where you came from (giving the album a sense of duality which was nice).
No, Bono has never backtracked lyrically and I wouldn't imagine he would with the next (SUPERNOVA!!!) album. The clues are in where he is with his life and I imagine its the sense of his newfound appreciation with music and what it can do to you and what you can see through it . Africa is no doubt playing on his mind and will surface in one form or another in the next album for sure and despite how everyone else feels about that, for that I couldn't be happier.
Because does anyone else remember the effect Africa's beautifully rich light and shadow of poverty cast on Bono? Something about desert plains and dust clouds dissappearing...?

I think most of what's been said is just extra fuss and we really just have to wait...but I guess the reason people got excited this time is that it's not Bono saying it's their best, it's Lanois and Lillywhite
