This is not a good sign. First band interview that gets on TV or whatever about the new album, I say we watch Edge and Larry's body language. That'll probably be the most telling. cause Bono's just gonna babble and hype it up himself and Adam never says anything. Ever. But i'm sort of convinced that he doesn't care anymore, so he's just gonna be watching everyone else's reactions to it. So maybe watch him get amused by how everyone is eating up the hype when he knows it's craptacular.
Eh, I don't trust Larry. The more excited about the album he is, the more it's likely to suck. If Adam looks genuinely enthused, we may be in for something good. I take him most seriously, especially if it's an interview just with him rather than with the rest of the band and Bono's there to egg everyone on. Bono's not worth listening to. He'll just blow some hot air about how the album is 50 minutes of the world's best music.
I really loved it when Steven Wilson was asked which Porcupine Tree album he preferred. Yes, he said the latest album, but then he took the time to be honest about it - that since it's the latest album, of course it's the album he's closest to and it's going to be his natural response, so he then went on to state that he's also still very proud of In Absentia. I appreciated that honesty, that he knows exactly how it sounds for an artist to say "oh yeah, latest album is the best!"
