A poster on atu2.com said Corbijn was interviewed in Australia, and said this on the topic of the band:
"The album October didn't speak to me. But we've worked together for more than 25 years. That has never happened in the music industry.
I'm doing the cover for the new U2 album. They're still working on it. I've heard some recordings-it's very good. We just worked for a week in Morocco. They're always pushing the boat out. They're a thinking man's rock band, so intelligent, yet they're rock stars. There's an incredible combination of things in that band."
