U2 To Release New Album... Again Post by: Eddie Ruckus - Rockin' Blogger 6 October, 2009 - 8:28 AM
U2 have reconfirmed their plans to release a new album sooner rather than later, although it looks unlikely it will be this year as first promised.
“We certainly don’t want to go away for a few years,” Bono has told Rolling Stone magazine. “The next album is called Songs of Ascent, and it’s a very clear idea. If we’re going to do another rock record, I want to do Spider-Man. I just haven’t talked Adam and Larry into that.
“I would like to have one of our songs on the pop charts. I would like a few pop songs on it. So I would like, even on Songs of Ascent, songs that have a shot at that.”
Bono went on to suggest that a song called “Every Breaking Wave”, which was left off No Line On The Horizon, is likely to be the first single off the next album.
“I don’t think we'll have over three years or whatever it was between the last two records,” added The Edge. “There will be a Spider-Man album, but whether it’s us or the cast, that’s the sort of thing we're not sure about. There are some amazing tunes.”
Should U2 go more pop or more rock?

U2 should just do what they wanna do - i would love to hear them make a great record.
The way for them to do that is to do exactly what they wanna do and not worry about whether people will like it or not.

No Line On The Horizon was the worst U2 album.
They should just go back to their roots and bring out a rock album.
Forget all the modern crap. just a good U2 album. It works for AC/DC and other bands.
