    maybe....The Verve - Man Called Sun....when I listen to this song I feel kinda strange...that's what's psychedelic supposed to do, innit?

    So 1st hand stories can't be posted on a website? Macphistfly's "news" weren't 1st hand either btw.
    Where did anyone from the band say that the album will be released in October btw.?

    I respect your opinion and I won't try to drag you to any side but you stated that @u2 only today wrote about the November release - and that's... bollocks.


    by first hand i mean actually seeing stuff go on related to the creation of this album. McPhistyfly's news certainly qualifies under that.

    As Juraj said, its somewhere in this topic, however, i kept notes:

    ALBUM NAME: unknown
    PRODUCER(s): Brian Eno, Daniel Lanois, and Steve Lillywhite have all been in the studio during album sessions
    ALBUM RELEASE DATE: October, 2008, according to Paul McGuinness
    FORMATS: unknown
    TRACKLIST: unknown

    POSSIBLE SONGS MENTIONED:
    These are songs that have been mentioned in the buildup to U2's next studio album:

    "No Line On The Horizon" - Bono and Edge played this song for a USA Today writer during an in-the-car interview at the Sundance Film Festival. On hearing it, writer Anthony Breznican says "heavy distortion fills the car," and later adds: "The song is rough, weaving between brutal guitar blasts underscoring the mellow title refrain." Edge explains that the song "It came out of a new distortion box that my guitar tech got."

    Unknown Title - in the same interview with Anthony Breznican, Bono and Edge played a second song whose opening lyric is, "It's six o'clock...". Bono tells Breznican that numbers are significant in each of the new songs.

    "If I Could Live My Life Again" - Bono says this song is "inspired by the great Argentinian poet Jorge Luis Borges." Bono said he had just begun the song while speaking with author Michka Assayas in December, 2005. Their interview appears as the extra material in the paperback version of Bono in Conversation with Michka Assayas.

    "Love Is All We Have Left" - a song Bono named during his May, 2006, trip to Africa as one that he had recently written. "It’s like an old Broadway tune. I thought it was a Frank Sinatra song," Bono said.

    "North Star," a song from the How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb sessions which included a guest organ appearance from Michael W. Smith. In this CCM article, Smith describes the song as a tribute to Johnny Cash.

    "Mercy", one of the last songs to get cut from How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, described in Blender magazine as "a six-and-a-half-minute outpouring of U2 at its most uninhibitedly U2-ish"

    "Lead Me In The Way I Should Go" -- a contender for Atomic Bomb first mentioned in this February, 2003, interview with Bono in Grammy Magazine

    "You Can't Give Away Your Heart" - a contender for Atomic Bomb first mentioned in SPIN magazine

    "Passengers: Original Soundtracks 1" is more 'trancy' and 'electronica'.

    And fantastic to do work to here at the office.

    November 14th is a Friday. Albums are usually released on Mondays in the UK and some other places - and on Tuesday's in the US. So NOvember 14th is unlikely.

    Hence, the Nov 17/18 release day is very viable. That and 'a lil birdy' told me it'd be November 17/18.

    Who was that birdy? A secret is something you tell one other person and I'm (not) telling you... child.


    was that 'lil' birdy atu2.com?

    no...Passenjers just sucks....its not even remotely close to U2. Thats why they registered under the name Passenjers. Miss Sarajevo, however, is the only star out of that

    I'd still argue for October.

    Albums in Germany are released on Fridays, so the 14th would make sense...

    I didn't understand your last point there, could you elaborate.

    I still didn't see Pauly confirming an October release anywhere...
    Also, the notes you posted is just a copy of an earlier version from the New Album section on... you guessed it @u2
