    So the album name is officially changing for Songs Of Relevance?


    Is it because if U2 goes and plays rag time era almost no one will listen to it will they? They couldnt make an album of them singing choral hits of the 1700s and have people listen to it. So is relevance just a subjective term ONLY....No. Cmon Alvin you're better than that
  3. (I'd actually do terrible, terrible deeds to get to have a U2 ragtime record...... )

    U2 just want to draw in some new fans, and I can't say I blame them. I don't know this, but... I would certainly think it'd be hard for a band that once commanded the charts with huge hit singles and wild-selling records to be viewed as 'dad rock' - which by the way is a term I really despise. It must also be hard for them to know that they just aren't going to make another Achtung Baby or The Joshua Tree - that they made BOTH of those albums is astounding enough, but to do it a third time would be unbelievably unlikely, BUT people constantly compare what they've done to their back catalogue - often instead of evaluating their more recent work on its own terms. I think can understand Bono's whole 'relevance' kick, really.

    I'm anxiously awaiting whatever they cook up with these hip modern producers. This is a band with a nose for a song and a sound, and no matter how it shakes out with this stuff, I know one thing: there'll be a new U2 record on repeat for months sometime later this year next spring in the indeterminate future, and I know I'm going to love it.

    Will it be one of my very favourites of their records? Maybe, maybe not.

    But I can tell some things it will be: treasured, appreciated, sung along with, danced to, cried to, blasted at fucking top volume in the car, mentioned to my friends and also total strangers every couple of minutes for about the first 18-20 months after it comes out, criticised where I think it deserves it, defended where I think it deserves it, a reason to wake up with a smile and to have a good day... Because it will be one thigk that captures all of those things and so many more.

    It will be a U2 record.
  4. Yeah I have to agree. No matter what it always gets me excited too!! Cheers to the next album
  5. Well said.

  7. If there's another Miami on this album I quit. I love Pop, but that is easily the worst song of their career. Hands down.
  8. U2 wrote Miami, right?
  9. I prefer Miami over many songs (for example: Stuck, California, Crystall Ballroom, majority of HTDAAB...). It's not that bad song...

    Really???
  12. I dislike almost every studio version song of Pop, but I really like the live performances.
