have to agree with the last few posts, i think too much is being made into this. Steve Lillywhite made these quotes because he has been doing another job for the last couple years, and hes just expressing how much he wanted to come back and be real producer.
You don't just do studio sessions with Chris Thomas, a legendary producer, and Daniel Lanois, whose like the 5th member of u2, and not take anything from the sessions. I think they have made a lot of songs, I think Steve is going to do a few more and put the finishing touches on the album. I gaurantee all three will be listed as producers of this album.
The only thing is this does confirm that there is basically no hope of the album coming out before the fall of 04. One thing about all these rumours though, I hear all these amazing quotes about the new CD, and they are all about Edge's guitar playing. You can add another one with Lillywhite saying "I've heard some great songs, Edge is really playing some great guitar" or whatever. But no one is talking about Bono's lyrics and songwriting, there hasnt been one quote saying "Bono wrote this brilliant song that we cant wait to work with in the studio." Maybe the "snag" was Bono lyrics left something to be desired. It's not like hes ever with the rest of the group. I love the work that he does but stop saving the world for a few months and give your day job all your attention.
