Multiply that by 5 and you'll have the number of times people here whine about it.

Bono's shades said:Do any of you really take Bono seriously when he talks about what a new album is going to sound like? Didn't all the pre-HTDAAB hype teach anyone anything? Remember all his talk about "punk rock made on Venus"? I'm still waiting for that album.

No way the next album will be acoustic...it's not U2, I doubt Edge would permit it much less than Adam and Larry, who seem to wield their greatest influence in the studio at the beginning of this process where Bono is making these grandiose statements only to be brought back down to earth by Adam and Larry.

dietcokeofevil said:awwww crap. Acoustic. This is one time I hope that the Bono blabber is wrong. If they wanna go acoustic, then they should just get it out of their systems and do an UNplugged gig sometime prior to release.
But as for the new album, plug it in and get weird. Let Larry play the drums but don't take his creative input ("Let's actually make a pop album this time etc"). Let Bono talk but I would like the creative tension lean more in the direction of Edge and Adam.

Lancemc said:I can't believe people still bring up the "punk rock from venus" thing. Bono said that when? Early 2003? Whenever exactly it was, it was still when they were working with Chris Thomas. Anyone still expecting that after they dumped all the Thomas sessions, brought in new producers, and read all the initial previews must have been a fool.

Utoo said:What I'm waiting for is the guaranteed backlash. Anything that is not hard or dark is guaranteed to be called ATYCLB Part III, no matter how different it may be.
I'll generalize and say that when most people say they want change, they really want a change back to the style of the 90s; and when they say they want experimental, they want Zooropa, Pop & Radiohead, not just experimenting with a sound that hasn't been on a U2 album before. I occasionally feel similarly, especially with the rock part. I'd love to see a return to some rockers. But I also think that they may find some beautiful stuff in the non-rocker world. Despite whatever great things they may find, though, you can guarantee anything that's "slow" and doesn't have the bite of irony will be called ATYCLB III.
