Going by earlier discussions here and just listening to U2's most recent albums, it seems Edge has hit a roadblock lately with his creativity on guitar. There hasn't been anything truly interesting since Pop, and lately he's mostly been on autopilot with his signature chimes, etc. So with that, would you mind U2 exploring more piano-driven tunes with a focus on melody and thoughtful, meaningful lyrics? Personally I think his playing on songs like Running To Stand Still, Miss Sarajevo, and even parts of Moment of Surrender are absolutely beautiful and haunting, so to be honest I'd love to see them try some more stuff like that again. Plus with the way Edge experiments with effects, it could be refreshing and different, only this time with more songs based around piano instead of guitar. I'm not implying that U2 should take the Keane approach, but maybe a 50/50 guitar/piano album.
