I'm looking forward to hearing the new song. It will give us a chance to hear Rick Rubin's production on a song that U2 wrote and recorded from the ground up, which should be indicative of the sound of the next album. Of course, "should" and "will" are two different things when it comes to U2, but it will be interesting nonetheless. I also don't expect the song to be the best out of the 3 they recorded at Abby Road, so if it's good, it will give me even more hope than I already have for the new album.
That sounds delicious, but I don't think we'll get too much in the way of atmosphere with Rick Rubin. I would expect a very squeaky clean sounding production this time around. I wouldn't be surprised, however, if we do get a lot more guitar....and a more natural style in terms of arrangements...so you may have your wish on this front. I'm hoping!Reggie Thee Dog said:
Interesting point...I'm very interested to hear what Rubin did with the boys...very.
I'm hoping for some soaring guitars and a little more than the straight ahead song writing of the past two albums. Maybe some some atmospherics...maybe I want it all!!!
