  1. An album of LIB and Always Forever Now-like songs would be an amazing album.

    Writers need inspiration, specially for the sad songs. I don't think there's anything as powerful as Edge's breakup in the early 90s that they can use to write such haunting songs right now.
  3. An album of Love Is Blindess songs would be incredibly depressing.
  4. An album like ATYCLB or HTDAAB would be even more depressing.

    The U2 Tower has been delayed, hasn't it? Maybe write about that - pretty sad moment in the history of great buildings.
  5. Oh I would love another ATYCLB, lyricwise and feelingwise, not soundwise. But anyway, regarding another LIB'esque songs I agree with Sergio. But it may very well be their best song ever. Especially the Sydney live version combined with Can't Help Falling...
  6. I agree about that they shouldn't attempt to create an album full of sad tunes like LiB but I think they should go for a quieter, more subdued/cool approach as opposed to trying to recreate another anthem like "Vertigo" or "Boots." I can appreciate those two songs in certain setting and/or small doses but they don't need to make that kind of music anymore. They shouldn't make that kind of music anymore. It doesn't seem very genuine to me.
  7. Oh, Berlin is fucking brilliant - and probably the only U2 song with a strange time signature (7/8 time in the verses, as opposed to the usual 4/4 or 3/4). It's mindblowing, I wonder why the hell they were thinking to not include it on the final album cut.
  8. Haha, I was just listening to 'Oh Berlin' when I opened this topic. Brilliant song.

    Probably because it was written for the remaster
  10. It's an amazing song.

    Acrobat has an unusual time signature as well. Oh Berlin never clicked with me but this thread is making me second guess myself. I'll need to give it another listen.
  12. I gave Oh Berlin 5 stars on my i-Pod. Brilliant song.
