  1. Oh he did... I just think it's a mix between Pop and AB with a slight touch of the last two albums. Might be completely wrong though...

    U2 don't want to pull a HTDAAB and have a leaked album, so they're doing what the Raconteurs did.....release an album to the press and fans all at once?

    The rac's Consolers album wasn't available on preorder if I remember. They suddenly gave a release date and everyone waited. Fun, but the wait was a killa. I also remember the Who releasing an LP in July before their October 31st release, Endless Wire.

    And about the cover.... anyone remember the Neon Bible album cover by Arcade Fire? Or shall we go back to 1967 again?

    This is another U2 roots album while the sound will have a layer of freshness and the layer we all know as the U2 touch - all of the sound. Lyrically, this could be either a deadbeat or stellar.

    I predict this album to give off the same effect the Joshua Tree did for the sound, because of the roots thing. I could be wrong though, come the fall.

    There is go way U2 is pulling an Achtung with the sound, because they've already been in that neck of the woods, and probably have the urge for innovation. I could be wrong again too.

    So my overall thoughts / prediction?

    Achtung's synths meet the Joshua Tree's eras roots.

    In simpler terms, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, featuring Bono as lead singer, and synths have drenched the work.


    Nice post Steve!!!
    and let me tell you, this sounds very promising "Achtung's synths meet the Joshua Tree's eras roots." I would really love such an expirience!!!
