    With Coldplay's new album and U22, soon to be followed by Muse's new album in a few months, I'll have enough material to tide me over for a while.

    But when Bono said this isn't Old School U2, what's he referring to... Is he saying that they've moved further from their AB/Pop era? Have they returned to ATYCLB/HTDAAB? Have they done something else? This is the time for asking questions.

    I'll let the Coldplay thing slip, since I don't listen to them anymore..
    Muse might be a nice thing, but I'm looking forward most to the new Killers, Editors and Mumford and Sons!

    Still I gotta agree with you. A good album might be worth a wait. I still think NLOTH is one of their worst ablums (although we had to wait for it 5 years).
    I gotta agree with your questions about the way they are going now.. I personally hope we don't get another Pop or ATYCLB. I'd rather have something they haven't done before, cause their trademark is still 'being able to reinvent themselves'
  2. What do you think are the chances that the next album will be available on vinyl?

    I need it, LOTS!

    So is this you excited? or you drunk and couldn't find the drunk topic? or is it Bongolese?

    Anyway, good to see Bono back with his edge on fire and punk rock from venus stuff...based on past experience, we're getting an album in 2 years

    LOL I read that as the new lyrics to the first single Bongolese for the win!

  4. I wouldn't be too surprised if they released a vinyl version. I'd expect it to be part of a more expensive pack though, as opposed to a standalone release.
  5. They have with all their other albums.
  6. So, any album rumours that we missed the past month?
  7. Some quotes by Gavin Friday:

    Is it true they have a new record in the pipeline? They have a few new records in the pipeline, don't they?

    Friday: They always have a new record in the pipeline and it's always their best. "Can you just shut up and just make it?" (laughs) -- is my advice.

    Have you heard the new material?

    Friday: I've heard a bit of -- Danger Mouse is producing it, so it's quite different.

    there a release date yet?

    Friday: I don't know with them. Next year, maybe.
  8. Next year, maybe.

    ¬¬
  9. As he said "Can you just shut up and just make it?" lol
    And the last thing: "there a release date yet?" "Friday: I don't know with them" - how typical lol
  10. It's time for this thread to make a comeback!
  11. We should start off by guessing album titles. "Songs of Ascent" was talked about so long ago that I think it would be a mistake to release an album under that name. And while "10 Reasons to Exist" is absolutely laughable, I still think "Reasons of Existence" sounds pretty cool.

    And I bring up the album title because we've literally exhausted every other topic of conversation regarding the new album, at least until we get something more than a release date, that is. But a single release during the summer might be plausible if they've got something good and ready to go by then...
  12. I think we're getting a point with these guys where we're ready for "Man".
