True. I dunno...we'll just have to see!
I love the pre-album buzz. And it's not even on the immediate horizon yet!

Bono's shades said:I'd love the new album to be different, but I'm not counting on it. That way I won't be too disappointed if it's more in the vein of the past two albums, and I'll be over the moon if they really do take a new direction.

Massive Attack is a completely amazing band. Much better than anything U2 has done in the last decade or so.

Massive Attack sounds like an introverted, insecure and whipped Nine Inch Nails.

Like I sad, Massive Attack are extremely talented. Mezzanine is easily one the best albums I've ever heard. It's incredible really. Almost every song on there is superb. Risingson, Tearrop, Angel, Inertia Creeps, Mezzanine, Black Milk, Man Next Door, Group 4... that's probably the biggest collection of absolutely mindblowing songs I've ever heard on one album. Probably the most atmospheric, layered album I've ever heard. It's basically legendary already.
I can understand if music like that doesn't appeal to your tastes, but to call it bad is just assinine IMO. That album (and band) is already extremely highly regarded. New album next year, can't wait!!
beside the fact that this is opinon, let's have a look at what Massive Attack has done the last decadeshart1780 said:

I tend to agree with this. While I wouldn't list Mezzanine as one of my very favorite albums, that's simply because much of it doesn't suit my taste, and I don't really have the attention span to get through it, not because of some lack of quality. Angel, Teardrop, Exchange, Inertia Creeps...much of it really is brilliant. Still haven't heard all of Blue Lines, but Unfinished Sympathy is a classic song.

so that is basically 1 album that put them on the verge of greatness 9 years ago, followed by less than greatness unable to really evolve
so yeah, great choice for U2 to try to sound like that
I strongly believe the new album will be a vast improvement over How to dismantle ....BonoVoxSupastar said:Let's get back on topic and just bash the future U2 that no one has heard.
