LemonMelon said:but your definition of a U2 album makes TUF a Passengers project, in essence. What's the threshold for instrumentals before it crosses over into Passengers territory? 3? 4? And is Eno only allowed to contribute a maximum 35% of the material?
.
Furthermore if people see fit to apply such a threshold, how legitimate a "U2" album is NLOTH, with so many of the songs co-written with LanWah and Eno?
The Passengers project remains a curious one, but I think it is worth considering as a U2 album. It is indeed vague however, as to how much of an input the four members of U2 had in each song, and I have been a little suspicious as to whether there was any concerted effort to ensure cohesion and flow (the second half of the disc).
Still flows better and is more U2 album-like than the half and half mess that is R&H, with it's covers and live songs... In my opinion.
