2 best pieces of news this week.

[MrBrau1]

We've had 2 very nice pieces of news this week, both deserve serious attention:

1: Bill Flanagan, longtime U2 friend /fan has this to say ""I've heard it, it's great. It's the best album they have ever done. It's going to knock them out!"

2: Neil McCormick "the songwriting refers to practically every stage of U2?s development," McCormick continues, "so it?s quite a backward looking album in that, but it?s got a more unified Edge-driven sound. Y?know, Edge has always been the musical genius in U2 and not given the credit with people talking of Bono all the time. Bono is the psyche and the driving force of U2, but Edge is the musical wizard, and this feels like an Edge record."

We're not going to get 11 songs that sound like HMTMKMKM or The Fly. We're going to get the "complete" U2 record, like JT or AB: ballads, stormers, pop tunes, and strange ones. Sounds perfect to me.

MrBrau1, that is the best assessment of the upcoming album I've heard. I agree that this will be a fully fleshed out album, and that it will have something for all the fans in this forum.

Well said, MrBrau1.

I can't imagine a more perfect album than what you described.

 

[Axver]

Too excited. Can't reply more coherently than this.

 

[Flying FuManchu]

I agree...

 

[Jamila]

Really looking forward to this album !

Like I said before - the cycle is complete for U2.

They are returning to their roots yet dreaming it up all over again.

For U2, this album appears to be their greatest yet.

I am very happy for them.....

 

[Lo-Fi]

Yeah man, that'd be sweet if that's what we get, a real cross section of different sounds. With each day that goes by I gradually get more and more excited about this record.

Is it November yet???

 

[gherman]

This album is going to put U2 back in stratisphere... again!!!

This could solidify them in the top 3 bands of all time.
