I put together a few quotes about the new album to make us salivate even more after hearing that new "Vertigo" snippet came out. These quotes might turn out be quite accurate, based on ABOY and this new one. Which one got you the most hyped up for the new release?
"It's a monster, a dragon" - Bono
"Edge claims it is their rockiest offering since their early days, while Bono claims the songs are stronger than those on their last." Neil M.
"It's just ridiculous what's going on in the studio. Edge is just on fire--he's making the most extraordinary things come out of his guitar. It's astonishing...I'm very excited about what we're doing." -Bono
"This is our Who album. The Edge has really gone crazy writing guitar stuff." - Bono
"We've got a song up on the burner called 'Native Son.' The best way I think we can celebrate is to just finish out what we're doing: Make this song a scorching 45. The molecules in the air are vibrating quite nicely." -Bono
"It's hard to describe it, other than its just a very raw rock n' roll album. A band in its primary colours of guitar, bass, drums, voice and a lot of vitality and energy, so far anyway." -The Edge
"It's filled with big tunes and it's driven by a guitar player who is sick of the sight of me shaking hands with dodgy politicians. The anger is unbelievable. The Edge is the most gifted guitar player of his generation -- that's obvious." -Bono
"It's a guitar record. Which is, I think, our first." -Bono
"It is a big album, full of big ideas, delivered with beginner?s energy and veteran?s craft.? -Neil M.
"It's full-on, a full-throttle record. It's like punk rock made on Venus. It is a mad sound The Edge is making. People are saying, 'Bono, people are sick of you. You've been around, you've been winning all these awards. You have to go away for a while.' This record is so good that it won't even matter that people are sick of U2. And by the way, I'm sick of Bono - and I am Bono." -Bono
"Pedal to the metal, high-energy, joyous rock and roll." -Bono
"Edge brought around a CD of a new tune. It's just a provision title, "Full Metal Jacket." It's the roughest, it's the mother of all rock and roll tunes. I don't know where it came from, but it's a remarkable guitar thing. You want to hear it. It's a reason to make a record. This song is that good." -Bono
"We're halfway through a record that will burn down all our good works! It's a very full-on rock 'n' roll album." -Bono
"Let me put it to you this way: on our last record, the best song was 'Kite'. On this record, every song is at least as good as that one - and some of them are better." -Bono
"I love singles in rock and roll, the great 45s. That's what I loved about Nirvana, that's what I loved about the Sex Pistols, and going back to the Beatles and the Rolling Stones -- when you make that one record that changes everything." -Bono
"We've started our album and it's going to blow your mind. It's real punk rock, with some great guitar sounds and some beautiful melodies. The band is so tight coming straight off tour. I think we've really hit form. We were here to write a ballad, but we just keep knocking out these hard rock tunes." -Bono
And my personal favorite...."The album will be out in November." -Bono
"It's a monster, a dragon" - Bono
