So do we not need to worry about threads with 1000+ posts now? Is this going to be the longest thread in the history of interference? Appropriate I suppose for the long ass gap between new studio albums from these guys.
Making history here folks.
Songs of Innocence
Songs of Experience
Songs of Surrender
Songs of _____________
Songs of Ascent
You know they're going to try and thread the needle and keep the Songs Of theme going to the end. Any guesses as to what fits as a title? Anything fit between between surrender and death? Any...
Yeah Eno prepped some ambient mixes of Achtung Baby for the tour- would be cool if he worked on some of their newer material too.

You can here the full song in this recording of night 3 around 2:07:55
a new song every 6-8 weeks would be cool.
But I think I'd rather them wait and have an album of all new songs. Nothing beats the anticipation and joy of digesting a whole new record for me.
IT'S A MUSICAL JOURNEY PEOPLE

"Edge started to fall back in love with himself. No, with the sound of the guitar … and the potential of the guitar. And we fell in love with that sound, too"
