New Album Discussion 1 - Songs of..... - Unreasonable guitar album
Starting a new string of threads following the release of Songs of Surrender.
__________________What we know: - Bono, Edge and Adam have mentioned a rock album with unreasonable guitars. - U2songs previously reported it was done, but Larry's injury has caused some back-tracking from the band, who are looking to "get through" the Vegas shows before making a solid plan. - Writing and recording is clearly happening, even with Adam's recent comment about it being "minimal" recording. - Songs of.... titles are seemingly around for a bit longer. - Current timeline looks to be optimistic for March 2024, pessimistic late 2024/early 2025. |

I think they will go back to normal titles. So this one will be called
U2: ROCK or U2: HOW TO REWIND A VHS TAPE |

I think the album should just be titled “Songs”.

When I hear "U2 unreasonable guitar rock album" my eyes twitch and I think of something along the lines of Elevation/Vertigo/Boots/Miracle/American Soul. But if their approach was more about simply stripping back the complex production elements, I could be game. Imagining something like the SOS I Will Follow but electric guitars and drums could make for a good sound.

I'm too lazy, but has anyone done a deep dive on what they said about an album and what it became including how long it took? What was the hype on POP?

Actually you know what you're not even wrong. I think I am always hoping they'll go back to that Boy/October/War sound. Somehow raw yet completely clean at the same time.

I think we will get at least a teaser of new music by the time the sphere gigs are over.

I really feel like every album SINCE Pop, Bono has mentioned it's some sort of messianic guitar album and it *never* is.
Pop was the last great U2 "unreasonable guitar" record. Just some batshit awesome stuff on that. Also I'm ok with Songs of Ascent if it means they're retiring with it. It would make sense as a title. Innocence, Experience, Surrender and Ascent. Very in line with their theme. |

The Blackout is soooo good. Made me have some faith that they do have a little bit of it left in 'em!
