I think that's kinda how I'm feeling - I want to think it's not quite what we imagine, but something altogether different and better...yet something worries me. Don't quite know what, but it does...

I hope you're right. I hope that there really aren't words to describe it, so everyone's just defaulting to "psychedelic."

"This happened last Monday, but I have just found it out in u2valencia, it is the same guy who made Bono an interview for Vertigo Radio we saw a few weeks ago, I think you may like the story, I find it fascinating, so I'm translating part of his post:
....about 45 minutes after my arrival at Hanover Quay, Bono opens the door and waves to me, I get to the door and start chatting with him.
I congrat him for his birthday, talk about what I'm doing in Dublin, how long I have been here and that in a few weeks I go back definetely to Spain, etc... (he keeps remembering me as the Spanish bullfighter, hahahaaa) eventually he asks me if I have ever visited the studio interior....I want to die..., of course I said no and he invites me to come in....10 glorious minutes inside, he shows me the room they use to rehearsal and then he takes me to the recording and mixing room where Steve Lillywhite is and seconds later Lanois makes his appearance. Steve asks Bono if he wants to listen to anything, he nods, I can't believe it.
Bono tells me that what is going to sound is PSYCHEDELIC POP.... the song starts....I have to say it's something new, different from HTDAAB, it has a very hard rock sound and a very strong bass line, just at the end Morrocan influences can be felt.... the song is quite long, but awesome (I didn't ask the title).
Steve is crazy with a strange dance during the song , Bono, by his side, is also enjoying, dancing timidly and listening very carefully (both Steve and Bono kept looking at me and my reaction, but I was icefrozen, in coma, dreaming, trying to realise where I was and who I was with...)
While in the middle of the song Adam appears with a coffee in his hand, he says hello and stands by me.
When the song ends Bono asks me how I like it, everybody looking at me, I say: "strong! fresh! amazing! I have no words!", they all laugh..."

Originally posted by stj0691I think Bono's part in Across the Universe was a major influence for this. Just take a listen at I Am the Walrus from the soundtrack and we might have our "preview", if one were to call it so.
