We can always speculate about what U2 will bring us in the future, here is my prediction....
U2's next album will be entitled "Venus Love Octopussy". Disillusioned with how they have maintained an amazing rock career, and annoyed at being inducted into the Hall of Fame before even retiring or perishing, U2 will make bold musical strokes to attempt to throw off the critics.
1. Venus Punk Rock
The opening track and first single will be hailed as deep and complex by hardcore U2 fans, when in fact it will be extremely catchy and instantly disposable :-O
2. Life On Mars?
U2 cover David Bowie's classic track Life On Mars, with Brian Eno playing several stringed instruments and Slash playing the short guitar solo before the second verse.
3. Miami Part II
Bono reignites his love for beat poetry as the smashing sequel to Miami continues the legacy that some have hailed and others have despised from Pop. The chorus will be,"Squeee--ooooosh / car wash / squeee-oooosh / spicy / squeee-oooosh / car wash, car alarm, cellular phone"
4. Starship Captain (Just Looking For Jesus)
"Turn it up loud, Captin" indeed. Bono sings this song entirely with a Mr. Scott accent while Edge plays mangled guitar notes symbolizing the streesed innerds of an intergalactic starship. The live version will end with a mammoth confrontation between Bono and Edge, as both are pulled out over the audience on wires and "duel".
5. Chainsaw
Edge, frustrated by Bono's continued political campaigning, records this track completely by himself in one late evening at the studio. Multitracking the drums, bass, guitar, and vocals all by himself, the song is an outlet for his pent up anger: "Ah woo-ooh / I need you now / Ah woo-ooh / But you're not home / Ah woo-ooh / The Bono is absent / Ah woo-ooh / And I'm all alone
6. Interlude
In a confusing track that splits up the album almost down the middle, Interlude is more a medley of sounds than a song. We hear Bono having a conversation by the beach while dropping names, Larry's motorbike, 1950s TV clips, and more Rattle and Hum interview snippets from Adam.
7. Things Will Be Better If We Let Some Time Pass
Bono patches up a rough spot in the relationship with Ali in this catchy, reggae-inspired song.
8. The Architect
A heartwarming track written and sung by Larry admist waves and waves and waves of reverb, Larry tells the story of how he posted the note at Mt. Temple. Unfortunately, his singing comes out more as a wooshing sound due to all the production, and the track takes on a very surreal feel to it. Careful listening will point out a few loops from Zooropa dropped here and there, and if played backwards the track will play an apology from Larry for the Ticketmaster problems.
9. An Animal And A Belly Dancer
The ninth track is a different take on Noah's Ark, with many elements and references to the ZooTV tour. Mostly though it is a throwaway track, except for a few hangers-on who would give their lives for it.
10. Who Wants To Hang Around?
The main theme track for the upcoming Spiderman VIII film, Who Wants To Hang Around is a deep song comparing slinging webs to campaigning for world poverty relief.
11. Trinity
The closing track is an uplifting song about God.
