Speculation: NLOTH similar to TUF

[Yahweh_OMG]

Just a thought. Today I've been reading, watching and listening to many new stuff about U2, like you guys, and I can't stop thinking about the similarities with The Unforgettable Fire!

1. "Magnificent" might be the opener. It is obviously the "Only Love " clip. Some of us stated (after the Beach clips) that this song sounded a bit like "A sort of Homecoming", which was again mentioned by Q. ASOH was also the opener.

2. The song NLOTH is at spot 4 on the Q list. If this is confirmed, both TUF and NLOTH are also the album titles and are on spot 4 of the album...

3. "Moment of surrender" is described as a 7 minute piece of music recorded in 1 take! Doesn't it remind you of Elvis Presley and America??? Also kind of a demo kind of song that finally made it in the album....


Thought these similarities were interesting.

I still like the eyeliner...

 

[AchtungDude]

Yeah. According to Q it seems like the album is a kind of mix between TUF and AB

Hopefully not. Elvis is the only song I really don't like much on TUF, I usually skip it.

The length of MOS is something that really stands out. I'm very curious about that track. Will it contain minutes of epic guitar-playing by Edge?

Nah, it'll probably be piano

I'm just curious about every single song! Kind of Crazy Tonight right now because of the Pop song tag Q assigned to it.

Edge has said they are trying to get the album to flow together, and if we have atmopsheric type songs...how would a pop song fit into that mold? Maybe that's why William was brought in, since that's his specialty.

From the Q article, it does sound like a departure, and a mix of all different sounds. Some U2ish, some electro, pop, ballad, etc. It really seems like they want this album to have a theme and flow, unlike HTDAAB, which had a theme, but the songs didn't really express it as well as AB or JT.

I guess He'll use the infinite guitar for that.

The Unforgettable Fire + Achtung Baby = a dream come true!

Did I suddenly die and not know about it? I feel like I'm in heaven

1. "Magnificent" might be the opener. It is obviously the "Only Love " clip. Some of us stated (after the Beach clips) that this song sounded a bit like "A short of Homecoming", which was again mentioned by Q. ASOH was also the opener.

Well, it's not that obvious.. We've heard only a few clips, could be anything...

Listen to the last 20 seconds of clip N°4. He says Magnificent at least once very clearly (someone mentioned it in this forum today as well).

I think the second part of this album they release later in the year is really going to cap off 2009. oops.

Is this from your source??

Don't tease me now.

 

[artdirector]

maybe. "there's buzz going around that anton's album is the second album" - my source

 

[BEAL]

So which "album" is the one that's described as "timeless" and "innovative"?

The NLOTH that's scheduled for 3/2, or the talk of the 2nd album?

 

[coolian2]

I'm told there's an EP scheduled for early 2010 as well.

Can someone tell me more about this Anton project? Is it a soundtrack to his movie? if so, then how many songs will they have left over for the Spiderman project? I can't see them releasing TWO movie/broadway soundtracks in one year.

 

[bram]

I think this was being discussed in the Anton thread. I actually think it makes a lot of sense if you piece together all the quotes from the band and McGuiness over the last year--trying to find a creative way of releasing music, having lots of tracks, etc.

MoS sounds more like Bad to me than EPAA...

MoS is what I'm most curious about. I was thinking "BAD" as well, but I don't think its a good comparison just by reading the descriptions of it. Not sure what else to compare it to...I guess I might just have to hear it first before I comment on it.
