SOE 33: Bono to open the batting on new album, Larry to keep wicket

[Catman]

c'mon guys, have *none* of you seen princess bride?

 

[Gonna Run 2 U]

Noel Gallagher leaked about 10 hours ago (so did his album). Three days before

So it’s possible we can have the album by Tuesday. Sweet.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

are we still rhyming?

Crack doesn't rhyme with rhyming. Try again.

I suck at this game, must be all the crack. I should have just taken Whitney Houston's advice !

Sick burn, Vern.
How is it, Vit?

It’s epic - fresh sounding, both for him and modern music in general. The singles are not representative of he whole in terms of quality.

Has anyone seen this? Is it legit?

"The station says it is one of only a few in the world to be doing it, and is also giving listeners copies of the album before the release date."

It doesn't say when, supposed to be a secret, but if they give copies out, a leak is inevitable, right, Dwight?

Interesting.

After listening to Noel’s album this morning, I am even more excited for this thing to leak. Can’t wait.

With this leak, U2 is really holding it in, Lynn.

The names thing has got far more ridiculous than the cricket thing ever did.

I regret playing any part in it.

 

[tommycharles]

Rumor is it was Liam...

I’m not sure if you meant that seriously or not, but that’s almost certainly not true. I have no doubts about Liam’s capacity to do something to get at Noel, but we’re past the age where leaking an album the week before is going to make any difference. Nobody who is going to buy Who Built the Moon, or Songs of Experience, will have been dissuaded by the availability of a leaked copy.

But what about banana, Johanna?

 

[Hewson]

are we still rhyming?

Depends on the timing.

It's up your arse.

Don't you mean "It's up your arse, Lars"?

Sorry so late! Anybody want a peanut?

Great first post and observation! I’ve missed some of the buzz for this release and this was one of those. This definitely gets me more excited for the album. I was a little puzzled by the lighter sounds so far but I get it after that explanation.

Thanks! It's weird, we've heard quite a bit about U2's lack of confidence or swagger the last 20 years, myself included, but if SOE has this strong of a thematic arc, I may have to look at the entire SOI/SOE era as more creatively impressive than I thought, and I thought most of SOI was strong, but not until MONTHS after it was released

I'm pondering the same. Astute, you be.

At the very least, we will hear the Jacknife Lee remix of The Blackout in a couple of days.

 

[rennowba]

Cherish this moment until new music comes out, we know it's coming Friday. Don't think I'd listen to it until then even if it did leak. How many more times in our lifetimes are we gonna have these moments of being excited for new music. The build up is part of the release

Woo?

 

[dan_smee]

Woo?

I’m pretty pumped for that - his BTBS remix was incredible, and The Blackout is a solid tune.

I keep imagining it will be the song from the “push the red button Jacknife” Instagram post.

 

[Axver]

I doubt anything at this point is going to convince me that remixes are worth paying any attention to.

Okay, so I am going on a weeklong tour and now would be the perfect time for a leak. Conversation with tourmates only go so far, so to have a new U2 album to get acquainted with would be the best thing (even better than the best thing)

 

[kiwilad]

Tour? Is that where old folk see the countryside from an air-conditioned bus?
