The new album ROCKS! It is the progression which they have made. This album is Zooropa meets Joshua/Unforgettable Fire. The sound is clearly a genius at work. Or rather 2 of them. Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois.
Though I was keen to listen to "Tripoli" as I heard some sounds from the video on the Morocco recordings. But I think it will be released soon on the new album by the end of the year. Like they did during ZOO TV tour they released Zooropa.
This band is my life, I saw them on TV in India in 1987 accepting the Grammy for Album of the Year. And since then my life revolves around each time they come out with a new album. I cannot wait for the new tour! Once again the lads will change the world!
