New Album Discussion (Will it be bigger than Zeppelin? Rush? Bon Jovi? Jesus? Allah?)

[lemonfly]

If "invisible" is the single track, maybe we could search on Whois a domain like it happened before?

IN-VI-SI-BLE ohh ohhh! Can not wait.

 

[LadySpinHead]

Great article, thanks for posting!

They have to be finished or extremely close. I believe this is what they do near the end....tinker with different mixes.

They are not going to work over holidays. So probably a good three weeks off. If they are pushing for an April release, then they probably have a week in January to get it mastered.

NLOTH was done just before their Xmas break. And it was released in early March

I hope "Invisible" sounds like Coldplay.

Invisi....visi....visible. Invisi.....visi.....visible! Oh woah ohuwoah woah oh oh!

 

[Irvine511]

i think Invisible will sound like Magnificent.

 

[PopFly]

Based on Larry's comment, I really hope the new album is called Penguins In The Wild

 

[Nick66]

Somehow I think this news may mark the beginning of the end of the Ordinary Love thread.

 

[Gonna Run 2 U]

We have a song title. Merry friggen Christmas!

 

[Aleh_Hewson]

"Invisible" is a great track name for a band who is trying to be "relevant" again *.*

I have bigger expectations now

 

[LemonMelon]

I just hope he doesn't try to rhyme "Invisible" with "kneel." I wouldn't put it past him.

 

[Irvine511]

there could be lots of invisible hearts and lots of invisible souls.

so... let the games begin:

Cold War ?

Has someone created a "Penguins in the Wild" album cover yet?

 

[Inner El Guapo]

"soul and old-school R&B"

When has U2 ever done this well?

 

[Inner El Guapo]

I suspect that the "soul, old school R&B songs" will be the ones people accuse of being geared towards Top 40 or the band "not doing they music they want to make."

A band of 50-something Irish men doing soul and R&B does not exactly scream "top 40" to me. It screams awkwardness like Stuck in a Moment and A Man and a Woman to me. Not to mention some weaker stuff from the R&H era.

U2 can do gospel but to me soul and gospel are different things. U2 is genuine doing gospel. It comes off well. Moment of Surrender, ISHFWILF. Those are basically gospel-flavored songs to me. The other...I can't think of when they've done it well. Angel of Harlem is solid on acoustic. Almost embarrassing on the record. Of course, I hate horns. Despise horns.

That's all to be expected though. There are always a few 'singles' that make me roll my eyes. I am still very optimistic. Especially the Kraftwerk influence. I like U2 doing electronic. And Sex Pistols...tight punk stuff. Hopefully.

Man. I was hoping they'd sound like Coldplay on the new album.

Stuck in a Moment, IALW. Or was that titanium soul?

Kraftwerk meets soul makes me think of mid career Bowie.
