I wonder how shorter those threads would be if we had no idea that Will.I.Am is involved in this album.
We would just end up arguing about something else.....Mercy springs to mind.....?!

You answer your own question for me.
Very few people in this thread are making a huge fuss about it (and those who are have been consistently over-dramatic ever since they joined this forum, so it's not that big of a deal. ) I'm not going to lose any sleep over these descriptions, but I'm certainly not going to shy away from discussing them either.

I also feel that you're getting yourself worked up over nothing in regards to those two songs, and some of us are trying to get some logic in there.
I agree with popshopper that Unknown Caller is not going to be about a drug addict who talks to his phone, at least on the surface. And Crazy Tonight is not going to be a Christina Aguilera cover. FFS, guys.
"Every Breaking Wave"
A swelling soul-pop song, with bright synth sounds influenced by OMD and, Bono says, "early electronica." "You don't hear indie bands doing blue-eyed soul [like this]," he adds.
I'm being illogical? I'm getting worked up? Seriously? It's not like I'm pulling a Rob or anything and posting something like "OH MY GOD, A SONG ABOUT A TALKING CELL PHONE! What the hell?!?!?!" (Merely joshing with you, Rob. ) I simply feel less than optimistic regarding what I've read about those two songs. That's all. Trust me on this; I'm not freaking out about it.
Oooh...good call!!!
"My cel is ringing no idea who it is I need to know who's calling!" or something like that....good catch!
Yes!!! Don't you see:
Lyrics to Fast Cars:
My cell is ringing
No ID
I need to know who's calling
It's the Unknown Caller!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!
I'm really going to be worried until I can hear this song.
Well I did not read all the 14 pages....but "Cedars of lebanon" happens to be "Winter" and Tripoli is "Breathe"...no doubt about that if you read the description of the songs !
Yes!!! Don't you see:

And now I wonder how things would be if we had no idea about will.i.am AND if Mercy had not leaked...
You've been misinformed--Cedars is actually Mercy, and Tripoli is North Star.
It would be a utopia (at least until March 4, when the complaining would begin en masse).
Well...I am just quoting the 2 journalists...
Winter, featuring a fine Bono lyric about a soldier in an unspecified war zone, surrounded by a deceptively simple rhythm track and an evocative string arrangement courtesy of Eno
"Cedars of Lebanon"
"On this album, you can feel what is going on in the world at the window, scratching at the windowpane," says Bono, who sings this atmospheric ballad from the point of view of a war correspondent.

Yes, but you're forgetting that the Q article mentions BOTH of these tracks in the same write-up. So they can't be the same.
My apologies for the above comment--I thought you were being facetious.
I'm being illogical? I'm getting worked up? Seriously?
Winter is about a soldier in Afghanistan.
CoL is about a war correspondent.
OK, now you're getting worked up.
There is no way Breathe isn't on the album. Weren't they hyping that up as by far and away the best thing ever created by the hands of man?
