They are worried about being the biggest band in the world and therefore do not take the risks like they used to, so there is a lack of experimentation with new sounds or musical styles . . .
U2girl said:Anyone else noticed what was pointed out in the U2 News article on this? It really seems like they'll write the songs first, and only make the album later, like Rubin said - as opposed to the usual "let's just jam and see what happens" method.

No.
Nobody here noticed it.
Head firmly up ass.
The most dramatic shift ever in the way U2 records and nobody here noticed.
All their concerned with is "experiments" and "fucking shit up."

I'm just glad they're sticking with Rick Rubin....this album is going to be gorgeous!!
BANZAI said:When asked whether the band will team up again with longtime collaborators Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno, he merely laughs: “You might be surprised how quickly that happens.”
Utoo said:
This part:
sounds like they'll be bringing Eno & Lanois in pretty soon. And yet there's no sign that they're splitting with Rubin. It could actually be pretty interesting to see an album where Eno & Lanois "get in the trenches," but produced by somebody else.
I wonder if U2 need Eno & Lanois and can't do it without them.

Before going into the studio with Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois for ATYCLB, I remember Bono saying that they were going to try something different -- writing the songs before recording them. And so even though it isn't new for U2, it did mark a big change for the band at that time. ATYCLB is like no other U2 album.MrBrau1 said:

ZOOTVTOURist said:Now, this isn't a breaking news actually:
Everybody could assume, that the band will be in the studion this year to work - the alternative would be, to take a whole year off, what nearly nobody really did expect.
The 2nd info is Rick Rubin having worked with them (no new info either) and that there is fine material coming out (we hope the same, ey?).
The 3rd info about Eno and Lanois might be true or might be just a joke. As some of here pointed out: The couple doesn't necessarily mean, there might come out another "The Unforgettable Fire", "The Joshua Tree" or "Achtung Baby". With "All That You Can't Leave Behind" U2 and these producers didn't do their very best to the band's oeuvre: Though some of the songs are rather nice - as they proved later live - the whole sound of the album is radio-friendly sauce, a light weight baby.
So: For the moment, it's just a statement, that U2 are working together now (which is a very good news), but we don't know anything in detail yet. If they really could work concentrated until summer, would then have a holiday break just to do the final touches in late-summer in Nice - and might release a real album in late November, I'd be very surprised. Still I'd go for a possible release in late 2008, with the tour starting early 2009 in the U.S. ...
If U2 hadn't panicked and switched producers, HTDAAB would've been released a year sooner. It's there in U2 By U2:powerhour24 said:People exaggerate how long it's going to take them based on Bomb's sessions, they seem to like Rubin (as weird as that may be) so hopefully the sessions go well. It's obvious they're aiming for fall 2007, they won't release anything that's not in the fall and they're not going to want to be off the map for that long. Granted it's not good to get hopes up, but this 2008/9 paranoia is getting ridiculous.
Adam: We worked through the summer and coming into autumn 2003 we had recorded an album's worth of material. Jimmy Iovine had heard the tracks and was saying 'You've got a record, we're ready to release it.' But there was unease within the band
Larry: It just wasn't there. The songs had a lot of things going for them but they had no magic, that thing that separates the ordinary from the extraordinary. It's hardd to put your finger on but the songs just weren't ready. It was a very difficult thing to say to Bono and Edge. Bono was really pushing for us to release those songs. He was unhappy when we didn't agree with him. This is not a conversation you have with your mates, who are working very hard, unless you feel sure you are right.

so more songs were played other then the Beach Clips most of us now have
Also i just want to say when we spent Wednesday night outside Abbey Road studios.
I was talking to a guy who lived in the appartment building next door. And he said from his bedroom window he could see the band in the stuio's courtyard/garden area taking breaks.
here is the interesting part:
He said he could hear music and lots of guitars and catchy melodies, and that he didnt know it was U2 until about a week or so after they started recording.
he said one of the songs he heard was very likeable to With or Without You.
