Jay-Z's heard it...

[TCUFrog]

what puzzles me is why he wastes his time in this forum if he pretty much has his mind made up about the new album. Sorta makes me think his only reason for posting IS to talk trash and to rile everyone up. And what's with the creepy pic in his avatar?

 

[shaun vox]

creepy pic?

 

[jonnytakeawalk]

u2 has already put out "two mediocre" albums!
ps Jay-z did not seem impressed from what i can tell.

Jay z didn't seem to say anything about the new album from what I could tell.

Can I just say even so who really gives a rats arse what Jay Z thinks anyway?

^Agreed, it won't temper my opinion, but he only talked about people's expectations and how silly fans (or music listeners at large more likely) can get, not really what he thought (if he even heard all of it, final mix, which I doubt).

who are you to ask? i do-not like some u2 albums, so what. ill talk some trash so what. its all good.

I heard the new U2 album will be nothing but covers of 80s hair bands.

Aww that's too bad...

...Because Jay-Z's such an avid judge of rock music

And besides...Eno and Lanois are through, Timbaland needs the producer chair for the next album.

...close the thread.

Typicaly for any decent sized album release will takes 3 months minimum to prepare once the recording has been completed. Thats time used for mastering, manufacturing the physical product, artwork, promotional and marketing plans etc... .. so November is pretty much right on track cheers.

Yeah, cash grabbing corporation album in the Fall and tour in the Spring.

If A likes B, and B likes C, does A have to like C?

Agreed. Folks underestimate the amount of extra-band work that goes into an album. Sure, it's not impossible for them to have finished recording in July and put a completed album out in August. I can do it in my basement that fast. Then again, I can't make a U2 album, nor can I put the book together, master well, advertise across the world, and plan the distribution to dozens of countries.
