It is impressive how we all lost faith in last year or two.
Last year the Sun article, combined with this latest tweet, would produce at least two 1000+ posts topics in two days.
Now we meet these news with skepticism and disbelief. It is first time (as i remember) that we meet these news with no real enthusiasm.
Oh U2, what have you done to us :)
 
It's a fragile thing, this new album wait, if I think too much I can get overwhelmed by the delays.

Hear the new album, covering Boner in the night, the sound echoing closer, will it come finally this time?
 
That song came out 11 years before U2's did. Makes a lot of difference.

A John Lennon's song, exactly the same three words, about the same event...

It was made 11 years ago before U2, who were clearly associated with the event as a politically active band from Ireland, so I don't think Lennon presented any burden on them. Lennon's song wasn't a single. Pearl Jam released Sirens less than a year ago as a single. Again, the analogy doesn't fit.

Besides, this confirmed rumour is probably bullshit anyway. And wasn't it "Siren" in the end?

Yes, probably nobody remembered a song wrote by John Lennon...

And it's not bullshit, the song is real.

Oh for god's sake... I never said that nobody remembered a Lennon song, it's just not one of his bigger songs and it wasn't a big single. The point is not whether there are songs in the history of music that have the same name (there are plenty of Gones and Pleases and The First Times out there). The point is that, if (and that's a big if) there is a new U2 single called Sirens, the timing isn't that great since there was a big single by another major band called Sirens that came out nine months ago. If you're looking for an analogy, the closest one I could think of is that Metallica had a song called One in 1989, two years before Achtung Baby. But "One" is a pretty vague song title anyway.

And you know the song is real how?

Well...let's put it this way. A tweet coming from a confirmed Profile "UNIVERSAL MUSIC COLUMBIA" that confirms an album title and month of release + @U2.com picking up on it immediately and posted it on their site...

There has to be some truth and credible source to this. Did @U2 post anything related to "MANHATTAN" last summer ? :shifty:
 
What if they called the album "Sirens" because every song is a duet with a different famous female singer?
Oh wouldn't that go down like a lead balloon! ?
 
UNIVERSAL MUSIC COLUMBIA tweeter account has been hacked... UNIVERSAL MUSIC FRANCE are saying that the sirens info is false.
 
Fake or not, with all these rumours flying about from the past few days across news sites, U2 are going to either have to announce the album or announce that the rumours are bullshit.

Sorry, we're reading Proust or Baudelaire here... not watching the cable...

I'm thinking the ratio of French people who have seen Dumb and Dumber and read a complete book by Proust is about million to one.

And I like French literature. Besides, Dumb and Dumber is a work of art.
