New album: general discussion

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Continue...

I believe we left off with a call to vote to ban all talks of songs of ascent.

I second that motion

 

[Moser]

Songs of Ascent!

U2's return to relevance? Or something more?

 

[mikal]

Achtung Baby is not a concept album, guys.

It would be nice to see the other new album threads drop into oblivion and just keep with this one. It would also be nice to move Achtung Baby conversations into this thread:

Pleeeeeeassse!

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

[Vlad n U 2]

So what do we do now?

 

[purpleoscar]

let it be so

So what do we do now?

We have to get a life until some real news shows up.

 

[Moser]

Achtung Baby is not a concept album, guys.

It's industrial!

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Achtung Baby is not a concept album, guys.

My life is forever ruined.

 

[powerhour24]

Maybe not, but Zooropa is.

 

[SeeLoganRun]

Oonts?

[pepokiss]

I also love Hut-Dab

In October he also said the the next U2 album wasn't Songs Of Ascent.
ALBUMES PARA EL 2011, UN AÑO DIFICIL | Plásticos y Decibelios

Oh well, that wasn't a too far-fecthed of a conclusion anyway:

Thanks for the information though, good to have it from a source with more direct insight into the music business than me.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

What exactly are we defining a concept album as anyways

 

[topplehatU2]

Perhaps it's time for another thread with no new information?

Yes, I know he doesn't say anything different from what has been in any fan site for a long time, it is the fact that it is him saying it what is important here, he's got a radio programme, a tv programme, good connections with musicians and labels and he's got a great reputation here, he was the first to interview the Beatles in Spain, for example, and he was one of the first people to listen some songs from Zooropa because Bono let him do it, so for me, he saying there will be a new album early this year takes it from the rumour category to the news one.

 

[U2girl]

Lillywhite has been seen in NY, where Bono and Edge have been since Jan 4th (according to U2 tour.de).

Maybe he joined them for the work on Spiderman soundtrack.

 

[nirniva]

Or Rick Rubin, whichever floats your boat.

Spoiler

When I saw there was a new thread, I got my hopes up for half a second that they had actually announced a new album.

yea you're about a day late on that lil' nugget.

 

[U2girl]

Just copying from the closed thread.

 

[corianderstem]

Do we actually know that he's working with U2, or is it just "he's in New York"?

I mean, it's a big city, and many people go there for work and/or play. I'm sure U2 know a lot of people who are there at any given time.

 

[Popmartijn]

I don't think we actually know that he's working with U2. Isn't he also living in New York?
But I have to say that his latest tweet is quite cryptic and open for speculation in this thread:

Nice to be back in the saddle.... although the horse is different..

But I have to say that his latest tweet is quite cryptic and open for speculation in this thread:

I've always had the impression that he lives in NYC now, from the way he talks about going back to the UK for holidays and such.

I saw that tweet earlier, and wondered if it meant that he's now working on Spiderman in some capacity; like, with the cast recording, or something.

That could be it. Or he is mixing the U2 record (not a Eno/Lanois produced one, but a Danger Mouse produced one). Who knows? We'll see when more is known.

I heard Justin Beiber is in New York, duet with Bono?

We'll wait for U2.com to confirm.

 

[topplehatU2]

Bono + Beiber = Beino?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

No lillywhite is in new york and has been seen with bono and edge at spiderman.

No, lillywhite was not harmed by falling actors.

 

[Irvine511]

i hope Bono doesn't get hurt watching Spiderman.
