Here's hoping it benefits the album like in 2004.
It did?

yeah. what I now gather from this is that No Line on the Horizon will be the lead single, if not also the album name. as people have mentioned ,this was done in Dublin, which was months ago. I'm sure there was some deliberation as to when to put it out etc., but since they filmed a video a couple weeks ago in Cadiz, have blasted the album, the U2.com clips etc., project RED coming out with the music store in the fall - it all just makes too much sense to release it in the fall for them not to.
also, unrelated but the Bloc Party reference on the bottom of the page also dates the article. Bloc Party's album is already out - it was announced a week after the beach clips came out. so theyre obviously at least a few weeks behind, and the Dublin quote pretty much proves this is nothing new.
You know, Edge has been pretty non-committal in the press about this project from the get-go. Remember when he was saying that the initial sessions might be one album, two albums, an extended dance single, who knows? And now he's implying that they have to shape it into a cohesive album?
Maybe the man has learned a lesson from the Bomb sessions and the Vertigo tour. Having a family medical crisis, which tanked the first leg of the tour, surely made him put some things in perspective. Maybe he's just avoiding the go-go-go U2 business plan and just letting things be. Or at least not going full tilt about set-in-stone release dates, tour plans, etc.
I'm sure things are on track for a Christmas release, but there is something healthy about a "let's wait and see" approach.
MOS is going to be eight minutes long? I have my fingers crossed for multiple tempo changes and atmospheric guitar solos.

so... U2 copies Coldplay's "42", but longer?
I hope so, because the longer the song the more you need something to change or you'll fall asleep.
For someone like me who enjoys progressive rock, 8 minutes is a piece of cake.
I've got to check out "Hot Fuss". I hate to admit it, because I've scolded people for doing this with U2, but I've heard mostly singles from the Killers and not much of their albums.
I really like their sound, and their music and have to get out of that habit and get their albums.
That being said...how the hell do they have only 30% of the lyrics done at this point????
Did he lose a suitcase or something?
Hot Fuss is one of the best albums in the last 30 years.
Jenny Was A Friend of Mine is a classic song.
It's also part 3 of 'the murder trilogy' which details the story of a jealous guy drowning his girlfriend for cheating on him. A hint to how they named the band. Basically, the order goes
Leave the Bourbon on the Shelf (off 2007 release, Sawdust)
Midnight Show
JWAFOM (both off hot fuss.)
I have actually made an mp3 of all three mixed together, as there are no segues the way they are, sounds pretty kool.
When I get the internet at home, I'll send it to you

You've got my eardrums salivating.
I'm really just starting to get into The Killers. They've got that "it" factor. Not sure how to describe "it" but they've got "it". I'm going to hit itunes and blow about $30-40 on them very soon.
If you ever do get the internet at home feel free to send it to me..I'd really really appreciate it!

Thanks man!
A hint to how they named the band.
What's wrong with the title?It better. Because it needs to compensate for a brutal title.
Hot Fuss is one of the best albums in the last 30 years.
Also, I don't think anybody has mentioned it yet, but did an article concerning the clips not come out a couple weeks ago stating that in an interview given with Q, Edge mentioned "Get On Your Boots" as a working title for a song? If that article knew about the interview a couple weeks ago, then it's more and more evident that this interview took place no time recently.
Has anyone put together a list of the dates of all of U2's major album releases?
Its seems like they've almost ALWAYS released their albums in the fall. Is that true?
In past years the deadline was September 30th. I'm with you in that I can wait a little longer. The only reason I hope it is released this year is so silly. There five albums that were competing in my head for the best of the year. U2 was one of them. If they do wait I sort of hope they release some tour dates this year.
For most of their career, outside of JT, Pop and Zooropa, they stick to Fall releases. The former originally planned for Fall 86 and 96, and the latter, well, not your typical album release but a mid-tour fast affair.
only War, Joshua Tree, Zooropa and POP were released in march (zooropa in the summer i think)Has anyone put together a list of the dates of all of U2's major album releases?
