IMO, it's that difference in the two parts that makes Lemon so perfect. All the shifts between the two are the songs sweet spots.

Well he produced WITS, and that the most commerical song they ever done, catchy chours, swinging music
Lancemc said:Ditch Rubin. Just have the good ole boys produce the damn thing again. We'll all be much happier when all is said and done.

I think the militant wing would actually only get more ammo if we get Passengers part II. You know..."so they CAN do music like this ! They deliberately made cash on the last two albums!".
Utoo said:
Agreed. It's the same thing with Zooropa the song. By the time you get to the end, you can't quite remember exactly how the start of the song took you to where you finished, but you know that the trip was something great.
jedi Larry said:Utoo just means how the song changes so much from beginning to end.

it seems that we're getting something analagous to the immersion into industrial house music in the early 1990s and the immersion into european techno in the mid-1990s. one resulted in what is, most likely, their consensus best album, and the other resulted in a mixed-up, misunderstood album that didn't do for anyone -- the band included -- what it was supposed to do.
to venture a guess, i'm wondering if U2 aren't really into music now, and music only. that might sound odd, but i've always felt as if music was simply the vehicle that U2 used to communicate. i think they've always seen themselves more as artists than straight-up musicians, and music/tours/albums are all part of a greater quest for meaning. they use music the way an artist uses paint, imho.
i'm wondering if they're not trying to become genuinely superlative musicians, innovating and daring in a purely musical sense, to truly make popular music that hasn't been heard before.

Learning to do the opera part of Miss Sarajevo has probably steered him to more controlled and structured singing and he mentions studying Sufi singing and also mentioned something else earlier about some other singers and how they used breathing. He could be on the verge of another leap forward in vocal technique.
