Songs Of Experience 9 (albums aborted and counting...)

[gareth brown]

Apparently this thread is a tangent free zone so if you've got some poxy unrelated list of songs from other albums, take it outside, buddy!

Quick recap:

- Album's apparently not finished but it could just be a bluff while they're on holiday.
- live return imminent at Iheartradio and DreamOutLoudStock or something?
- "The Best Thing" heard as beach clips and played live in remixed form by Kygo but nothing since.
Beyond the U2 community (the calm and collected interference disccusing it like adults while AtU2 has a collective aneurysm, for example) the press/social media reaction's been a little muted.
- U2's 40th anniversary in four weeks. Single possibly round the corner?
- U2.com very excited about VHS/DVD release of Elevation 2001: Live from Boston

Yeah but I finally got my 2013 U2.com subscription gift.

U2.com actually was much improved on the last tour. I can't fault them for not giving any news. They're not going to say anything until the band is ready to launch.

 

[JamietheEdgefan]

Predictions for single release?

I'm guessing the week before the Iheartradio gig. Maybe a couple weeks before.

So 9th or 16th of september.

I choose to fault them..

u2.com had 3 stories posted to their News section in July.
remhq.com had 3 stories this week.

I'll go with Wednesday the 14th, based on nothing.

Bono used one of these he found in a dusty jacket pocket and that's how we wound up with Leo.

September 12, with SoE out on September 16.

 

[PRB216]

Interesting iHeart note: as of today every headliner at this year's festival has a new album out or officially announced.. Except U2.

Drake (April '16), Sting (Nov '16), Britney Spears (Released today), Ariana Grande (May '16) and Usher (Sept '16).

Tick, tock...

I'd definitely check the expiry date on that bad boy

September 12, with SoE out on September 16.

Getting everything so soon in a one-two punch like that would be awesome.But i wouldn't be surprised if they focus a hell of a lot more on a strong lead single this time, giving it space to be promoted, and in turn allow it to build hype for the eventual album release a few weeks later.

(I'd like to be wrong and just get everything now, but if my suggestion means a strong first single, i think it'd be worth it).

Are you experiencing a leak?

Yeah, no doubt they'll be promoting something by then. I doubt we'll have the album, but likely a (official) title and release date.

I'm guessing (along with the rumblings others have heard) that we'll get the single fairly soon, but the album in october/november.

That leaves the actual 40th anniversary kind of vacant. Hoping they'll really do some kind of promotion on that day or something (though it is immediately after the iheartradio gig).

 

[Registered Dude]

pretty sure it's

single on September 19/20
band promo stuff in Dublin for their 40th anniversary
album in November

 

[Roland of Gilead]

My money is on the Apple event for a single.

Breach clips!

so a U2 Carpool Karaoke is a given at this point, right?

I know that's less than a month but the wait is still killing me!

I really hope we get a magazine preview (maybe something to do with that Rolling stone photo of Adam a couple months back?) before then.

Also, i wonder if they'll play more than one new tune on the anniversary.

Using Bastille as an example again (same timeframe of 2 months between single and album), they released more than one song before the album, and might have debuted even more live.

Muse seemed to release 3-4 songs before their last album.

So we might hear more than just one lead single before november!

I can't fucking stand James Corden most of the time but I'd still take that over Jimmy Fallon any day of the week. And I'm sure it'd actually be pretty fun !

 

[Irvine511]

i feel like it's something Bono would be good at.

this is based on a loose source, right?

yeah.. told that it's likely, but with some details still tentative.

True, but I also think that they want to get SoE out before the Grammy deadline.
