Yes, it's hardly good news for anyone else. Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois are there:
"We're going to try and break new sonic ground and deliver a masterpiece," Lanois tells Billboard.com. "The sleeves are rolled up. Bono is all charged up with a lyrical angle."
Breaking new sonic ground? Presumably with some sort of guitarry-steam-hammer? No, apparently with a springboard:
"We've had some exciting beginnings via jam sessions," he continues. "Now we will pick our favorite beginnings and say, 'OK, that's a lovely springboard. Now what are we trying to say?' The springboards are sometimes melodic, sometimes riff-based, but I can assure you they are exciting."
Aha. Can you also assure us that it's not a load of pomp-besplattered stadium rock that's just in need of a black and white video to finish? Mr. Lanois? Hello?
Nope, the line seems to have gone dead.

ReplyDeleteOh well, it had to happen at some point in his career. Maybe a poignant song about C-Day?
