I beg to differ. They already gave me their third masterpiece with NLOTH. So that alone is proof enough they still got it.

Meanwhile the constantly-there guitar player keeps resting on his laurels most of this decade.
funny, i quite enjoy the music on no line, whereas i find lyrics in songs like boots, magnificent and especially unknown caller to be nausiating.
Regardless... the band is at its best when they are all in the room... especially bono because he is the true creative force behind the band.

Is Bono answering his own question here? Could recording in North Africa be the answer to finding the correct location to record their next masterpiece?
from the article at: U2 - Page - Interview Magazine
BONO:
Location seems to be important to us, geography. I don’t know where we’re gonna go next.
MOOALLEM: Everybody seems to be trying to answer that question right now: the question of where to go next. We’re in one of those confused moments—not unlike the early ’90s.
BONO: It is exactly that kind of moment. I mean, we’re talking about a time 20 years ago when the Iron Curtain was being drawn and torn down. That’s exactly what’s happening in North Africa right now. People are out on the streets, and they’re searching for themselves.

I won't even charge you like match.com. This one is on me.
Songwriting is songwriting, and only two of them are significantly responsible for that.
Plus, we both know Lanois deserves a huge portion of the credit for making Time Out of Mind what it is. Even Bob admits to that, though he seems to regret it now. It wasn't a one man project.
They should try recording at Jimmy Buffets Studio in Key West!
