Re. the new album: Yeah, unless something has changed in the last few days, I don't think the band have even set a release date yet. Any speculation at this point would just be a logical guess. They might try to avoid another spring release. But I'm sure they as much as we would not want to wait...
I wish that were true. But sadly, the internet grants people a degree of anonymity that allows them to say things they wouldn't normally say in "real life." Everyone can regulate him/herself to some degree, but that's sometimes thrown out the window when there are no "real" personal...
Can we get more mods, if possible, please? As hard as people try, it's going to be hard to police ourselves, especially if sometimes we can't tell from our own perspectives what's appropriate and what's not.
I'm a regular lurker (rarely a poster) on several other online forums, and I have to...
That FNAC announcement has got to be fake. I don't think even the band knows when the album will be released, judging by what Bono and, more recently, Larry said.
NLOTH was a decent album from a band still capable of putting out some interesting material, though it's not exactly innovative. I...
There's still no certainty that they won't delay, and I'm not saying that it's 100% impossible. But Bono at least seems to have gone to some length to prepare for an album release late this year. Delaying isn't something he or the rest of the band would do lightly, especially now that other...
If Bono thinks that there is a chance that the album could come in early 2014, and season 8 of Gay Byrne was in late 2013, there would likely be no conflict between publicity for either.
According to Wikipedia,
season 5: Jan 2012
season 6: Oct. 2012
season 7: Jan. 2013
Gay Byrne releases two...
I think I may be one of the most cynical people on this site, but I think there is no reason they'd wait until 2014.
As has already been said, it's telling that Bono would urge Gay Byrne to broadcast his episode outside of the regular seasoned schedule. They both know this would be a major...
Your reaction to lyrics would depend on what state of mind you're in. For example, I usually don't care much for MOS, except on the occasion when I happen to be feeling down when I hear the song and think at that moment the lyrics are pure poetry. And then a day later MOS doesn't sound so great...
