LP13 There is no album - only lies

[Registered Dude]

All LP 13 Talk: Why are you even here?

The latest and lamest:

- first single is Invisible, but it's not really the first single, but its video comes out this week
- Bono and Edge claiming that they are not yet done in recent radio interviews. they have a working title, that Edge hopes will stick
- Edge says they are in the final phase. Invisible is representative of the album overall. album is "raw, guitar driven" with German Krautrock influence, CAN/Neu were cited
- Danger Mouse says he's not prepared to talk about it until the band is ready to talk about it

New thread!

According to a raw, guitar driven, possibly German or krautrock influenced album will be released "sometime" and that album has no name (yet) but he doesn't plan on getting any summer holidays because they are in the final phase of bringing it all in or together. Or something like that.

U2.com states a full length video for 'invisible' will be coming later this week. The total sum raised from the free download was $3,138, 470, and invisible is currently available on iTunes for sale and rising up the charts.

Two threads, I say this one wins out on the merit of the title.

Edge being coy like everyone else. A summer release looks likely but I still think there's something a little fishy here.

 

[Nick66]

Insider sources say that U2 will release a record sometime and it will be called something with some songs on it.

I like the things in this first post. As long as everything comes out the way it's meant to (i.e. not bringing in new producers), I'm letting myself finally get excited.

Yes...all things considered with regard to what's been said about this record in these threads, this is probably the best title yet.

LOL...we should start posting the "best of" lies.

Definitely had a dream last night that they surprise-released the album today.

Looks like there are going to be a few out there/innovative tracks on this album that will please the Achtung, Zooropa and Pop fans! Heck if it's a mix of melodic beautiful stuff and raw and guitar driven too, then I think it's going to please everyone!, plus not forgetting the RnB souly rumoured stuff.

I need the Tonight show to hurry up!

Cant wait much longer for the album

I'm going to listen to daddy's gonna pay, zooropa and maybe just a little more invisible

What makes you say this? What did I miss?

Best thread title ever

 

[higher ground]

What makes you say this? What did I miss?

Edge said that he's secretly been working with Thom Yorke on two of the album tracks and that they are pretty "out there"

Having clue what krautrock is and how it sounds makes you say this.

And I guess we're back to reality.

 

[mikal]

You should have made the title "there is no album, only Zuul!"

Raw, please. Medium rare at best

 

[Angtre01]

Invisible up to #2 in rock on iTunes, it will hit #1 there

 

[Aleh_Hewson]

Or they could be thinking in a german album like Tokio Hotel .

Maybe Adam wants to achieve this look

You too? I dreamt that when coming into interference, I saw that there were 800 people viewing. Even in sleep I mumbled 'just a dream, go back to sleep'

Edge said they went ‘pretty far out there’ – and referenced the kind of music that had inspired this, a mix of the punk and early electronica around when the band was young. But he then did say they were now working to reign in the self-indulgent parts of it. Which is kind of annoying – it’s the second guessing.

It's time to let Edge shine again...no summer holidays, so album in summer, like they plan.

 

[nielsgov]

Krautrock influenced is one of the most overused terms to hype new music. Still, I'm excited for it. I hope the influence isn't buried too much beneath all the U2'isms.

 

[higher ground]

Sorry U2DMfan, I was only messing about old Thommy York Yorkes (you don't say!)

It's just my opinion based on everything we've heard up until now, and that Invisible might be a slightly safer song than maybe some of the album tracks which I think will be a little different.

I'm just going on what Edge said about the German and electronic influences, and he said something along the lines of making some pretty out there stuff which they had to reign in a bit. Have a listen back to the Jo Whiley interview

well, we don't really know if that's what he meant.

I mean, they could have recorded a sweet 26 minute instrumental jam around a drum loop.. the fact that they're choosing to not include include it on the album doesn't mean that they're second guessing..
