Yeah, I agree. Pop's lyrics were definitely mediocre.

Out of context, yeah, but so were a lot of AB's, in that case.

I think an italian U2 fansite just announced it:
"New U2 album has a decidedly star wars theme"

I dunno....hecklers aside, I actually don't believe this thread is pointless. On albums like Achtung baby Bono's lyrics WERE more careful and literary. There is a more "throw-away," more pop, feel to a lot of his recent work. The album tracks are being picked obviously for music above lyrics. There is a place for songs like that, but there is also cause to wonder if we will see that other side of Bono again soon.
Will we get the poet or the pop star?
I don't want another disaster like "New York" again!

Bono's response, "Yeah, Edge has left the galaxy and has gone to a place that only Lucasfilm has the rights on. Plus Lucasfilm is sponsoring the new tour. Did I forget to say (YOUR AD HERE)?"

We'll have to wait and see. Two words certainly don't tell us much about the album as a whole.

Thanks, Niceman. I think this thread has substance. I made it myself.

OF COURSE NOT! There was obviously some tongue in the cheek of the guy who started the thread! But I think there is a serious point/question underneath the layer of funny!

But, yeah...I only criticize because I know what Bono is capable of when he tries. I'm hoping he put some effort into it, and I want to believe that submarine and gasoline can be rhymed in a profound way. But I need help to see it.

Here's something I just shot in the dark with...
He left the aeroplane, beach cart, and submarine
Survived the drowning, but got lost in the gasoline
Damnit this is hard... I'm sure SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE, could surely make something out of "submarine" and "gasoline," though

Yeah I think the lyrics have taken a change with every change the music has made, some for the better some for the worse.
Every album lyrically has had it's gems and it's crap, this is nothing new.
I can almost list a song on every album that I wish Bono never allowed to show the light of day because it's just embarassing...
Bono has made some comments recently about stepping up his lyric writing and taking new directions so I'm optimistic and look forward to seeing what we get...

I really don't think the original post was started tongue in cheek. It looks pretty serious to me. And then when iota realized that people were criticizing it, he changed it to some sort of funny game, lol.
