Some of your responses are just baffling. It shocks me that some of you are actual fans of the band. Comments like you won't be fan anymore or the album will suck are pathetic.
Face it, the band won't be around forever. You don't know what their priorities are, what the songs are like, etc. They are in their 40s and they've ONLY made 4 studio albums in the past 13 years or so!
The album may be good or great, or maybe even a masterpiece. I've yet to buy a U2 album that I think completely "sucks".
No kidding. I mean, look at the long period of time between
Zooropa and
Pop. Pretty close to 5 years. And
Zooropa was a spur of the moment idea, from what I've understood. So if that album hadn't been made, and they'd gone from
Achtung Baby to
Pop, it would've been a
much longer wait.
Besides, I really don't understand something here: some people complain that one reason why they didn't like
Pop is because they wished U2 had fully finished it, that they would've taken their time with the songs on there.
Well, now U2
have been taking time with their songs, and people are lambasting them for that. So what is it people want-the album now with some errors and some songs the band and some fans aren't too thrilled with, or the album with excellent songs, even though it took a little while to get them right? They just can't win either way.
Keep in mind, people, making a record isn't easy-not everyone can do it fast, especially since this is U2 and they get inspired by so many things, keep experimenting with many different ideas. And never mind the fact that they have families and all had other commitments within recent years, too.
Anyway, sue4u2, spencr00, EPandAmerica, and so on-I couldn't agree with you guys more.
. If it does wind up being winter when the album comes out, then so be it-it sucks having to continue to wait, but I can manage, I can live with it. I'd much rather U2 feel completely comfortable with every song on there, and feel that everything's the way they want it to be, than to have it come out and have some more people yell at them because it didn't seem totally finished or whatever.
Patience, people, patience.
