Haha! Your quotes just encapsulated at least 65% of the last 24 hours of posts.

Well maybe they haven't heard the final versions yet. They debated about No line on the horizon (I think) on which version is better.
Yeah, does anyone have a sense of when U2 was playing these songs for Q? It seems strange that the album sounds so unfinished when they have chosen a release date.

I think we can safely assume that the album is 100% finished now, since they've announced the release date. The Q interview was probably done a few weeks ago. Curious to see what version of NLOTH we'll get though...
Quite unusual for U2 to name an album after a song, no? (only October, UF and Zooropa)

Probably a month or two ago maybe
Having two completely different versions of No Line sounds interesting to me, I wonder which one they'll go with

either way, it'll be cool because I'm sure we'll hear both versions, maybe even as a bonus track.

Naming an album after a song which has two completely different sounding versions is more interesting I feel
Anyone notice how October, TUF and Zooropa are all pretty atmospheric pieces...one can dream
It's conceivable, especially if this is a long album with around 14-15 tracks, that both versions could "work" on a single album. Many great albums have reprises or 2-part songs that are separated by other songs.

It probably has a different title.
Well, there are definitely a few boom-chas in there.

Same with Cedars of Lebanon. That sounded like it was going to be a cool one.

Yeah, it HAS to be the same song.
Give it up! Mercy won't be on the album.
I think he was being facetious and mocking the "reasoning" that many posters use to support their very bold, predictive claims. Of course similar length and starting letter are terrible indicators.
Well, at least I hope he was being facetious.

To try and put these Mercy/Moment of Surrender rumours to rest...
"There’s a song called Moment Of Surrender, which is seven and a half minutes long. Brian got the ball rolling with a suggestion for some chords and then we made a few adjustments and got to this set of changes that we really liked and then just kicked it off and we immediately realised there was something powerful going on."
Edge talks here about the Fez 2007 sessions. Eno had nothing to do with Mercy, that was composed and recorded in 2004. I doubt Mercy will be on the record. And for the record, I damn well hope it won't be.

Amen. There are a lot of song speculations going on right now that could be put to rest with similar analyses.

just because a song isn't mentioned in the article does not mean that it won't appear on the album.

You're right, but it got a decent amount of attention early on so I expected to hear something about it.
Yes, but heightened paranoia is much more fun than acknowledging that truth.

Yeah, Bram. Stop joking around
i try not to get too worked up about just a song title, but the descriptions are intriguing This immediately made me think of the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Reprise.
Although highly unlikely, how amazing would that be? An initial layered "slow burner" tune and then an up tempo version to finish off the album. I Don't know whether it would fit into the context of this project, but we can dream!
Yeah, Bram. Stop joking around
You're right! Shame on me.
The more I think about it the more I like the idea of the NLOTH reprise. I think it could work with either version first.
