Double albums are not a good idea. They're just not.
Better would be a staggered release of songs from the same session/group of sessions into two distinct, better-flowing albums. Like Kid A and Amnesiac.

I'm nervous about this new album. Fast Cars and AMAAW didn't exactly grab me; I don't want a whole album of it.
Whatever happens, it'll be interesting to see the reactions around here.
Me too...U2girl said:I'd rather take 11 very solid/strong songs (and they have enough problems with coming up with that a lot of the time) than 11 very solid songs and the rest of the usual 20+ double album being filler.
silvrlvr said:I would say Fast Cars has more of a flamenco beat to it. The only thing oriental about it is the Bono wail at the beginning, which also could be interpreted as a fado-esque touch.
no because as Adam says it could be part of the new album, plus the whole band wouldnt be working on spiderman as its only Bono and Edge doing that.silvrlvr said:Could 18-20 of the pieces be the Spiderman Musical?
I don't mean to be cynical, but all these updates seem like a monster stalling tactic. If you're serious about an album, you make an album.

Think about Stadium Arcadium---if they had edited down to 12 songs...think of what the quality could have been? I'm not a huge RHCP fan, just using this as an example. Instead, SA sounds watered down...
waynetravis said:From a thread in PLEBA:
we were in eze on 19 of july and Bono was there. He had some guests in the house, and he played the new songs...new beach songs but as I saw only 1 girl taped it, noone else. we were good girls and we didn't do any disturbing thing. just swimming in the sea and listening the songs and watching bono's dance on the terrace with a glass of wine in his hand the songs are GOOD!! two of them are VERY VERY good!!! they are not finished yet but in some songs you can feel some Marocco
there was one song what we heard last year there, but all of the others were very new for us.
it's an unforgettable day.

Do you really know what fado is?
It might have an eastern gipsy singing in the beggining, but that's nothing to with fado... xD

bram said:It is a rare-enough treat to find a regular 10-12 song album with all or nearly all great/classic tracks (I am talking generally here, not just U2). In theory, perhaps, a band could do twice as many tracks at that level. But how many double albums can you name like that? I think the Beatles would be the only band I'd trust to put out 24 tracks on an album. For me, there is nothing better (and rarer) than a 45-minute continual experience that flows and never drops in quality.

U2 simply wouldn't do it. As U2girl said, they have a hard enough time getting 11 songs together.
