A perfect example of a fan who loves these two albums. They are indeed great albums!

HTDAAB is a great album. Sure, 1-2 tracks are alright, but that doesn;t mean the album is alright. Remember now, quite a few singles came from it. About 5 songs were singles, and all of them made the charts one way or another. Eight Grammys kinda makes it hard to call it an alright record.
Now for ATYCLB. Its a very good album. Another album with 3 alright tracks, but as I said before, that doesn't define the album. 4 singles and all of them did well. 7 grammys. Do I need to say more? Plus if other people actually listen to Kite and hear the words they might like the song instead of clinging to their radios for their next song of the moment. 2009 will belong to U2.
Just remember if U2 comes up with more than 80 mins worth of material it has to be a double album. The average song is 4 minutes. That's 20 songs. Something tells me they've come up with 21.

I will be absolutely stunned if they make a double-album.

Me too. I think we're going to get the usual 11-12 songs.
But they better be good songs.
A double album might mean an even longer delay until the album after that. More songs = larger tour extravagaza, longer rest period after, longer time needed to come up with an entirely new sound/tour concept.

I wouldn't mind to see a good record containing 12 songs or so. Start the tour, play the songs, blow some roofs off and kick ass on stage...after a period of, let's say, 2 years...they release the rest and the best of their material, giving us their final and last album. They continue the on-going tour, change the name to Farewell-tour, play Rotterdam 5 nights, continue rocking for 2 years with some breaks and end their career on a lovely rainy, Irish night in Dublin, somewhere in the middle of the city where everyone can see and hear them. Let's hope we all can be there too.
at it being their last album! 
Originally posted by RattleandHum1988:Yea I hate to say it but I can see their career coming to an end. A good end, an end by choice. They've done so much already, and to see them do like 5 more albums would just be nuts. You always hear them talking about how their goal is to write their best album, the best music they can write. Lately, ( the past 2 or 3 years) we have all heard Bono and Edge say "We think we're getting close to completing our goal" so I don't think it will be too long before our boys decide to play the farewell tour.
