Refugee
Worst magazine cover ever! Is that the best they could do? Wow.
Bono also says "Songs of ascent will be quieter than No line in many ways, its that ghost album of hymns and Sufi singing. We're making a kind of heartbreaker, a meditative, reflexive piece of work, but not indulgent." Every Breaking wave is described as a surging anthem too.
because their current recording contract, which they need to put out another 5 to 6 new records to fulfill it will be totally forgotten so your prophecy will come true.
not a "fucking chance" that they'll get out of that.
It's easy to get out of that....

Songs of Ascent sounds like Passengers 2.0.

I'm imagining White As Snow - The album!
"Every Breaking Wave"
A swelling soul-pop song, with bright synth sounds influenced by OMD and, Bono says, "early electronica." "You don't hear indie bands doing blue-eyed soul [like this]," he adds.
So.... the title: Songs of Ascent. Sounds like a William Blake reference, right? 'Songs of Experience?' 'Songs of Innocence?'
It's actually a biblical reference, if I'm not mistaken.
This is exciting.
Can we say... LEAK THREADS?!?!?!?!
Every Leaking Wave! Every Breaking Leak!
It's actually a biblical reference, if I'm not mistaken.
Psalms 120–134 are referred to as Songs of Ascents, and are thought to have been used as hymns of approach by pilgrims to the Temple in Jerusalem.
This is exciting.

A year is a long ways away guys for a leak thread. Time to listen to some other bands and develop a new hobby until then.
Yes you're right:
Bono said the album was about pilgrimage right?
