  1. I'm kinda worried that one of these days they'll say "We're sorry, but we tried really hard on creating new music, but we were never satisfied with the outcome. Therefore we call off a new U2 album"

    How do you know doing songs like Invisible isn't what they want? We all (and I've been guilty of this to) seem to equate U2 writing music for THEM and doing what they WANT with experimentation ala Achtung Baby/Passengers. Who's to say what they want isn't more songs like Vertigo and Invisible? Lest we forget Edge said his favourite U2 album was Bomb, which is arguably the most "casual" U2 album there is.

    Because U2 have always stated that they search for those magic moments when they are doing something no ones done before. As Bono has said on several occasions in the 80's, 90's and 00's, "if you're not doing something that no one's heard and felt before, what's the point?" U2 nowadays have been talking about relevancy and writing the perfect pop song and "re-entering the mainstream public," something they've never cared about before. I'm just worried they're going about making this "safe" music for the wrong reasons, I don't doubt they love being in a band but if they're doing it for the $$ and not the soul, they shouldn't bother, #1 on the charts be damned.
  3. ^ We can only hope they create such beautiful and moving music such as Moment Of Surrender and Cedars Of Lebanon then.

    Enter the mainstream for all it's worth but put some magical moments such as the aforementioned ones - such as ATYCLB had. Sure it had mainstream moments such as Beautiful Day and Elevation but buried within were such great songs as When I Look At The World and Wild Honey (I love that song).

    And then HTDAAB - sure you had Vertigo and All Because Of You but even then it had Miracle Drug, Yahweh and One Step Closer. Which meant I'd have an album with a few mainstream and obvious pop tunes but I'd take something deeper like those few songs from each record.

    If only it were like that.
  4. There is now some dutch news item that says that the album won't come out until 2015..
  5. Billboard has confirmed with multiple sources, however, that the album has now been pushed back until 2015, with the band recently scheduling additional sessions with producers Ryan Tedder and Paul Epworth. (Danger Mouse remains onboard as the project's central producer.) "It seems to be taking longer for them to finish an album as they get older, but the great thing about U2 is that the whole of a record is always better than the sum of its parts," says a source close to the project. "That magic that the band always seems to capture ... they have yet to capture it."

  6. No good.
  8. Just let them stop, this is going nowhere.
  9. You've been stringing me along, I've given you the best years of my life, you promise the earth and deliver nothing. I've had enough, I'm leaving you....
  10. These quotes from Danger Mouse really say enough for itself
  11. Anyone wanna petition the NSA or GCHQ to give us the album?
  12. And just to mess it all up even a little more:
