Aygo
Rock n' Roll Doggie
They did the shots for HTDAAB in late May/early June... in Portugal, outside of Lisbon. They landed in Lisbon on May 29th, I guess, and left few days after.
Yeah, that was bloody awful. Even the liner notes sucked big time.BANZAI said:
That wasn't his mistake. The band somehow wanted to be portrayed as a bunch of lazy old guys sitting on a bench.

Irvine511 said:i'm wondering if we're going to be getting a "Kid A"/"Amnesiac" type double release spaced apart by a few months with a brief tour in between, and then something big in 2009. it might be like MDH/ATYCLB, but i'd guess there's going to be more U2 than on MDH, and there are going to be more songs than on Passengers.
if memory serves, they were doing photography for Bomb in July (when Edge "lost" the CD) and that album came out mid-November, but it was considered "done" by July.
interesting times, these are.

The Edge looks like he's sleeping, Adam looks like he's waiting for the photo shoot to be finished, Larry doesn't look into the camera. And Bono looks suspiciously young on this photo, he could be 25 or something... so maybe Bono is responsible for choosing this cover photo?!

Anyway, I'm guessing that one thing we'll definitely see on this new album (besides a title that is short and succinct) is a cover with a lot of color. The black and white theme of their last two album covers (presumably reflecting the relatively stripped down nature of their approach) has probably been played out as well...
BANZAI said:I think you're right. So what are the most logical choices for the next U2 album:
1. Album title short
2. Album cover full of color
3. 11 songs
4. +/- 45 minutes
5. A song about love/peace
6. A throwaway rock song (i.e. Elevation, Vertigo)
7. A rockballad (i.e. One, Stay, SYCMIOYO, WOWY etc.)
8. .....?
9. .....?

U2girl said:I'd like to see them go back to the "re-affirming the theme of the album" type of closer, like Love is blindness or Mothers of the dissapeared.
U2girl said:JT was all about America/s, so it's fitting it ends with Mothers.

AB was all about the broken heart, so it's fitting it ends with Love is blindness.
This one fits a little better, unless you consider the terrorism interpretation of this song... [/B]

I'm not familiar with that interpretation,
BonoVoxSupastar said:
Well, I see what you are saying, but Mother's is one story about one specific place in South America. When I think of a song reaffirming a theme it would have to be a little more general than that and be about America in general.
