SOE 19: Back To The Studio Part II

[The_acrobat]

Honestly, I can wait until early 2018 if that's what the band want to do. I'm pretty satisfied with them at the moment. They're on tour currently, playing songs I never dreamed they'd play again. I'll be seeing them in Cleveland on July 1. As a u2 fan I've not got much to complain about.

However, I do believe they should not return to North America and Europe until they have done Australia/NZ, South America/Mexico, Japan and other Asian countries, etc.

Has Bono said Little Things is from SOE or did he say this is a song from experience?

 

[popacrobat]

I wouldn't worry.

They're playing a new song, introducing new art at the end of the show after said song, and they're throwing other single/titles out there.

It's coming at some point in the next 4-9 months.

 

[corianderstem]

He said at both shows "this is a song of experience."

 

[lazarus]

SOE has been reduced to a one-off single now??

We'll have to wait and see. SOE push could be mixed with JT Pacific for the latter part of 2017.

Shortest album ever!!!

 

[corianderstem]

Can't wait for the Song of Ascent!

 

[miryclayu2]

A spiritual album with gimmicky rising balloons stadium tricks.

 

[KUEFC09U2]

Still hoping it's out this year.....

 

[mikal]

I was so pissed when they added all those extra tracks to Song of Innocence.

 

[miryclayu2]

Don't forget about JT Tour DVD Extravaganza

I was so pissed when they added all those extra tracks to Song of Innocence.

Why? It is common practice since the B side became extinct.

 

[corianderstem]

Don't forget about JT Tour DVD Extravaganza

Yes, please. Hurry, please. Must have it ASAP, please.

 

[miryclayu2]

I need my collectable plates and I need them now.

Still hoping it's out this year.....

Don't hold your breath. While I do believe Bono when he said that's what they would be playing if it was up to him, we've seen it so many times with this band about releasing something quickly.

We can argue that if they do release in 2018 it was only a three year wait which is great for them.

To save on getting excited, I will firmly believe Fall 2020. This is a band of habit, and I can't see Edge ever stopping with the songs, or Larry agreeing that the album has a hit.

 

[miryclayu2]

There are still six months in 2017 after this tour ends so we'll see.

 

[miryclayu2]

What albums are due a remaster?

 

[Hewson]

What albums are due a remaster?

SOI and NLOTH

 

[miryclayu2]

Pop, R&H.

 

[corianderstem]

Everything after Joshua Tree (excepting Achtung Baby and Zooropa, if you count its inclusion in the AB reissue).

 

[miryclayu2]

ATYCLB and HTDAAB

 

[lazarus]

I don't think Pop needs one. It was recorded with full digital equipment, no? Not exactly the Stone Age.

 

[miryclayu2]

Yeah but Pop has a bounty of B sides that could be re sequenced.

 

[corianderstem]

I was thinking more just the general "reissue" instead of "remaster." I want a reissue and box set and extras for everything, damn it.

 

[miryclayu2]

After listening to last week's digital drop it is obvious that R&H needs to go in for repair.

 

[georgemccauley]

Pop and HTDAAB would be my priorities

 

[miryclayu2]

It's almost pointless to remaster some of these cuz they will change like fashion tastes.

 

[miryclayu2]

If one is redone, a camp of fans will cry foul for the original.

Ahh, got it.

Would love to see R&H turned into a double separated by studio and live but that's a pipe dream as they apparently have disowned the album and movie. Unlike Pop they still play a few of its songs though.
