BRIAN ENO: In this month’s MOJO Interview, the godfather of ambient and super producer of some of the world’s biggest bands steps from behind the mixing desk to reveal all. “Producing is the best paid form of cowardice,” he tells Mike Barnes.
Am I the only one thinking we might read some some about the new album, coming from Eno? Finally?

That's what I thought... :-/
Joining "Choose your enemies carefully coz they'll define you"... these lyrics look like Bono in its endless speeches. Let's wait for the context and the way it places in the music.

I think larrystuff is SUC and I really hope that riff from the Lanois video is on one version of NLOTH. But this album is going to be epic I think. I'm worried that Crazy Tonight seems like a bit of a wild card to me; I'm sort of afraid of that one to be honest. But we'll know soon.
If anyone recalls, the sounds at the end of that larryinthestudio clip definitely gave that groovy aspect of Magnificent away... in the clip at least, it sounds like it will work beautifully.
But to me it's sounding like Magnificent, MOS, UC, SUC, Breathe and COL will carry the album easily; F-BB, NLOTH and WAS will probably be epic but are still a bit mysterious, and CT is a wild card, at least for me. Then there's GOYB, which seems like it will function as a fun, purposeful hinge to the album in context. But we're so close...

I like the "enemies" part a lot.
While we welcome all kinds of opinions and discussions, repeatedly posting the same thing over and over, especially of a negative nature, can be considered trolling.

I'm betting that on the first listen there really isn't too much you can write before the next song starts up. But yes, very Spartan in their descriptions.
yeah. I bet if they had a second or third go round you might see them writing more. I wonder if one listen is all these guys ever get.

Wait..."Edge plays guitar on this one" isn't good enough for you?
next it will be:
"i put the cd in, and watched the time on my display. it went 00:01, 00:02, 00:03".

"...and sound of an indescribable nature emanated from my speakers."
I think I'm going to love these two
I can probably do without the ballads. We'll see how they sound. I know most love them but I usually skip them.

let's hope that Will.I.Am didn't mess this up...the beach clip seemed perfect

Oh the waiting is the hardest part...and the excitement about the 'potential' of the songs is great...but I hate the part where once we hear them and they don't live up to what some people think they should, that all the 'bashers' come out...and ruin what we love about each song...
Still...the reviews sounds great...

I am not going to be able to wait for the release, LEAK!
I really can't wait to hear the album. A couple of songs I am really itching to hear in better quality when I buy the album are Unknown Caller and Magnificent which sound really promising from the Beach clips. I am also curious about No line on the horizon too. There's a certain vibe I get from the beach clips that this album could be well one of their best albums ever!

perhaps his style will add a hint of enjoyable diversity to the album.

Will.i.am did a REMIX of the song. Bono was even quoted as saying he did "the most extraordinary REMIX."

Yeah, I hope they don't get rid of the funky ocean wave backing track and the sounds of people talking over the music. Those bits are key.

Maybe he's talking about the box set ... like it's physically huge, 4-feet to a side.
