So as I'm sure you all know, there are a lot of long(er) threads here at the forum(s). I don't keep up with them if I haven't been by in a while and didn't catch it at the beginning. I apologize if this is all well-worn territory.
That being said, here is what I'm starting to think is happening in the U2 camp: They have too much material and they're deciding what to do with it all, whether its already finished, nearly complete, or still just an idea.
As a result, I wonder what the chances are of the World getting something from U2 at an unexpected time, with little warning, in the vein of Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails. I know there's been a lot of EP talk, and how generally people feel that we won't be getting one pre-album (although I'm sure they hope). This may never occur to the band and their management, but I don't think there's ever been a better time in their career to release an EP. A lot of people will reason that the Corporation usually overturns the Band with things like this if there isn't a single or hype attached. I like to think that the Band would still get ultimate say over what's what in the end.
This may all be naively wishful thinking, but I'm predicting via a combination of what I think they'll attempt and my desire to hear just what they've been working on all this time. And guarantee nothing. Ho hum.
