I was just curious...who here on this board really thinks the U2 album is actually finished? (recording...that is)
If Bono is actually to be believed about U2 writing 50 to 60 songs,is it possible the delay is figuring out what 11,12 or 13 songs to put on the album? ...for some reason(although I would love to see this) I don't think U2 is going to put out a double album.The Q magazine interview alluded to Edge "talking about trying to weave together a coherent collection of songs"
It is possible the supposed band disagreement that is holding the album up is just what songs to put on the album and what running order?
I'm not sure about the "we're still writing songs comment"
1.) If they've really written "50 to 60 songs" ...that is an enormous amount,you don't keep writing unless you're planning to put out 4 CD's of new music or something like that
2.) U2 from what I can see aren't in the studio...The Edge has been in Toronto and London...Bono has been in London and will be in New York later this month...Danny Lanois and Brian Eno are off doing their own things.
3.) The numerous amount of albums by semi-established to big name artists that were/are being released this fall...as someone said before U2 is bigger than any of them and I could never see any other artist affecting U2's sales but maybe there is truth to the fact that they want January to Feb. all to themselves,when all attention is on them and no one else.
4.) I know that HTDAAB was released in November 2004 but maybe this time U2 and management decided to really ramp up promotion for the album after the holidays not before...final mixing and mastering takes a little time so the article in the Irish Mirror could be correct about a January release.
