The U2songs dude/dudette is a chill homie in my book.
The only thing I can envision that would sound like that is Angel of Harlem.I'm intrigued by The Showman, and its supposed 50s rock influence. Not a sound/era U2 have explored before, really.
It's also not really an era that seems a great fit with U2's strengths..
This all checks out to me.U2songs reporting that we should get the album announcement around October 20.
Also, JT tour film info!

They wouldnt post that if they werent sure, or at least confident, that the rumors will prove true
EDIT: some informed speculation about single #2 coinciding with album announcement too!
"We’re also told the announcement in October may include an announcement of tour dates for the Experience and Innocence tour, expected to start in late March 2018"
omg omg omg
"Lincoln's ghost says "get out of your own way".
Seriously Bono?
Late March onwards pretty much rules out stadiums at least.Australia better be included in that announcement.

I left out Much More Better, and Landlady. Neither has been mentioned by band or legit press since Feb 2016 Mojo feature. Everything else has been mentioned in last 12 months
I can't exactly recall where I have seen a picture of Bono and Edge this year recording a song or some songs and there was clearly the mention of MUCH MORE BETTER. Probably some instagram or twitter image.

Report: new U2 album coming on December 1st | KSHE 95
Dave Fanning reviewed five of the new songs featured on the upcoming Songs From Experience:
"You're The Best Thing About Me": "Sounds like the Edge has been replaced by Chic genius Nile Rogers. A pulsating tune for late summer."
"The Little Things That Give You Away": "Thousands fled Croker when U2 played this unknown track as an encore. You should have stayed for this piano-led tune. Edge’s guitar makes this a U2 classic."
"Much More Better": "Back on your bike Bono. I’m moved by this deeply-personal acoustic track about Bono’s recovery from his bike tumble in New York’s Central Park in 2014."
"The Showman": "Bono channels The Beatles circa their Rubber Soul era in a song he stresses is about other singers. I love the lyrics: 'The showman give you front row to his heart / The shaman prays that his heartache will chart / Making a spectacle of falling apart is the heart of the show.'"
"Summer Of Love": "U2 always had real tunes. Bono described this as 'achingly beautiful and empty.' I agree."
"Much More Better": "Back on your bike Bono. I’m moved by this deeply-personal acoustic track about Bono’s recovery from his bike tumble in New York’s Central Park in 2014."
I honestly want stadiums, even though my fondness for a venue works in inverse proportion to its size. I'm no longer fanatical enough to go to the 4, 6, 8, however many shows they need to play in Melbourne or Sydney to meet demand, and I know that whichever two shows I attend will not have whatever special rarity the band have unearthed and play on just one night.

Yeah, couldn't have put it better. It'd be a nice problem to have either way.I'm torn on this one. On the one hand, stadium shows are what we are used to in Australia (for U2) but as I've never seen them in an arena I'm hoping for that experience. In terms of expense and time off work, fatigue from multiple shows etc, stadiums are much more convenient. I'm not optimistic that Australia will get anything next year, quite frankly. I hope I'm proven wrong.
Bugger, I was really looking forward to hearing Much More Better.This is the report Registered Dude has derided as BS.
And Dave Fanning is not the reviewer.
It's from the Irish Sun originally, and the article includes quotes from Fanning but the comments about the songs are just credited to "our man". Possibly that's the article author at the Sun. Or it is a way of avoiding having to identify anyone so they can pass off old comments from past reviews as new content.
No - this is the same bs article I called out before. It's not true, dude heard fuck all, except Little Things, like the rest of us. It's just recycled MOJO quotesThis report is dated August 2017:

We still might! Though I'm hoping for at least one new surprise titleBugger, I was really looking forward to hearing Much More Better.
Due to its title, it's kinda got a little cult following now, it would drive me nuts not hear it, despite whatever quality it ends up being.

I like a unique title. It's much more better than most if their recent titles which are way too long.
