This is just ridiculous if it's true.

Honestly, I hope this is bullshit because every single lyric quoted in that write-up is awful.

We might be fucked.

You mean, you might be fucked.

Personally, I think all the lyrics mentioned in the article sound intriguing.

 

[DevilsShoes]

This is so exciting, I can't wait.

Unknown Caller has intrigued me since I first heard the title, but those lyrics do sound a bit odd, not sure how this one will work, but I'll reserve judgement.

Other than that those snippets sound excellent, I especially like the line from Cedars.

Nice to see two songs over 6 minutes (Moment of Surrender and Winter), the last time we had that those two tracks were masterpieces (Zooropa and Lemon). And those rocking, punk songs will be interesting to listen. Although, I remember a certain article that called "Miracle Drug" a loud rock song so... I'll stay sceptical.

Really worried about some awful lyrics and hip-hop twists...

Oh, and where is "For Your Love"? That was one of my favorite beach clips!

 

[BoyOnTheHorizon]

Some spoilers... like i know i'm waiting Moment of Surrender to be the new One.

Good old days when i listened to AB for the first time... 91... the guitar of Zoo Station, the weirdness of Even Better and Until... then One... so fukin awesome!!!! That intro... and "is it getting better"

I wish i would be strong enough just to vanish from any U2 news of any kind. Just the abum release. Imagine how awesome it would be to buy the new album not knowing anything. Any song title, any song description. Not even any 30 sec clip.

"For your love" was a beach clip?

 

[atomicman]

Magnificent and Breathe sounded great on the beach, can´t wait to hear the real versionsQ Magazine is a must buy

That's what I was thinking as I was reading the original post. I just don't think I have the willpower.

 

[Vlaco]

Man, I'm really looking forward to this album

 

[djerdap]

"For your love" was a beach clip?

It was a beach clip without the beach. I just call every leaked clip like that. It was recorded in front of the HQ, you can hear it on U2exit.com.

But I presume you already knew that.

 

[adypole]

I'm very intrigued by get your boots on, despite being previously excited over magnificent.

Have any of your opinions on what to look forward to changed?

 

[God Part III]

^^

While the entire album sounds exciting, I just want sexy boots.

 

[rishi377]

I think For Your Love is now Stand Up (which is the "larrystuff" u2.com clip I think)

 

[blindinglights]

Listen to the beachclips again: Beach Clip #1 is clearly Unknown Caller. It matches the lyric.

(And #4 would be Magnificent - "Only love can rest your mind"

At what time in beach clip number 1 do you hear the lyrics of unknown caller?

 

[BoyOnTheHorizon]

We have bilt great excitement towards the new album.

My fear is that the greater expectation the greater disappointment...

 

[blindinglights]

Also, even though beach clip #2 has the lyric "breathe" in it, the description makes it sound like this song is the one titled "Stand up."

 

[Aardvark747]

So is this confirming 11 tracks then do we think?

 

[RademR]

awesome news!!!! really like the sounds of these. I don't even have a favorite, i cant wait to hear all of them

 

[Acrobatic]

Where can you get this issue in the States? I looked at Subscription prices for the US and it's a bit ridiculous $100+ US. I'd rather spend that money on the tour.

 

[SecretFly]

The lyrics noted don't do much for me but hey one line doesnt make the song.

 

[mikal]

At what time in beach clip number 1 do you hear the lyrics of unknown caller?

i was trying to find the same thing. i personally think clip 1 might be "Moment Of Surrender" because you can hear Bono singing "Surrender", and the song does seem to be epic, like "One".

 

[macfly]

Winter
6 minute ballad. Acoustic string laden ballad about a soldier in the snow in Afganistan. Will appear in the new film 'Brothers' starring Tobey Maguire

With this description of Winter what are the chances that the song in this u2.com video is in fact Winter or at least part of Winter.

[RademR]

think they might be winter as well

 

[PowerSurge]

We have bilt great excitement towards the new album.

My fear is that the greater expectation the greater disappointment...

EXACTLY.

I have no doubt that it'll be great...I just want to keep myself grounded and let the music lift me up instead of getting over-inflated unreasonable expectations that will surely be burst.

 

[digitize]

Wow. I need to get this edition.

 

[PowerSurge]

Wow. I need to get this edition.

I'm sure someone will post it somehow....



...at least I hope.

 

[derrick_rossign]

Where can you get this issue in the States?

I would also like to know. Maybe some kind souls will sell them on eBay at a reasonable price.

 

[adypole]

Well, when all 5/6 of you get your editions, you wouldn't mind scanning them would you? I'm 14 years old and have no money.

 

[PepeTheWanderer]

Q says that will be only 11 songs on No line on the horizon?

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

The 11 tracks to date are as follows:

I don't know if these words are windylad's or Q's but the key set of words there is "to date" which I take to mean that this may not be set in stone...

11 Tracks is par for the course though...

But I presume you already knew that.

Nope, I'd forgotten that one. I am always thinking about the "beach clips" from summer 2008 that were actually recorded on the beach.

Also, even though beach clip #2 has the lyric "breathe" in it, the description makes it sound like this song is the one titled "Stand up."

Don't think so. Breathe is older than "Stand up" which Bono says was written just a couple of months ago. I think the song with the chorus "Walk out into the streets" is "Breathe", it has been around for some time now and was mentioned by band members quite early in the process.
