Continuing on from the last thread, this is your official one-stop shop for discussing everything from Larry's recent baseball fix to Sillywhite's cryptic tweets.
__________________What we know: not much from the old threads. Larry was at a Yankee's game in NYC last night (August 10) and supposedly told a fan that they "hope to have the album finished by the end of the year". ... Quote:
I agree with this a lot. I've got XM too, and can think of a handful of stations they would be played on. |

Pop culture dominance is a fickle thing, even for Bowie and Kanye - latimes.com
__________________I saw this in the paper this morning and thought it was an interesting in light of the speculation/hopefulness of a "stealth" U2 album release. It's just not going to happen that way. |

Previous thread lasted about two weeks. Two weeks from now takes us into the last week of August. I'm feeling good about this one.

AMEN. Enough with focusing on 'hype'. Things are far too fast-paced and it needs to slow down a bit. I remember in the 90s the onslaught of pop acts like BSB, their planned counterparts NSync, and of course, Britney and Christina. Now 20 years later, BSB are touring on a small scale, released an album without a "lead" single so to speak, and are still doing what they love, regardless. Can the same be said for NSync, not to mention the media disasters both Britney and Christina became over the years? Not that I am comparing U2 to pop acts, mind you...but who would you rather they "be"? Someone like Jay-Z whose tour with Justin Timberlake is running $500 for back floor seats? A media joke like Britney? Or would you prefer a quiet album release and a tour meant more for their fanbase than for the media? Think about it for a while. |

All they needed to do was have Bono shut his hyperbolic yapper. That's the only thing they really needed to do different this time around. All the surprise of whatever stealth approach they're taking is going to be gone 24hrs after the lead single hits the net anyway. But whatever, all that matters is the music. |

If the album is delayed till 2014, let's just say the band is down to 9 reasons to exist, imo.

I seriously even doubt they'll call it that, honestly.
My money rests on a short title. The last few have all been long-winded. ATYCLB, HDDAAB, and NLOTH. Time for short, sweet, or dare I say it....sexy. Seductive. Something to draw you in, sink hooks into you, and remind you exactly why you love this band in the first place. |

nobody actually expects them to call it 10 reasons to exist.

It was intended as a joke, but it's still better than some drivel like "Ten Reasons to Exist".

I don't even know when/where it originated (it was quite a while ago, like over a year if I remember right), but it's some lame, fake title that people keep hanging onto as if it's actually plausible.
__________________I would be too, though like was said on the last page, it's really about the music (duh). The title is what I care about the least in an album, actually. |
