For the love of God let it be the way he's describing it. Cause I remember "punk rock on Venus" for HTDAAB, and I remember Edge "falling in love again with the electric guitar" before ATYCLB, and while I looooove both of those albums to death, please please please let this actually sound like he's describing.
- I'll only believe it when I hear it.
Next statement will be "Edge is on fire" or "it's like punkrock made on venus"
Just the usual yadda yadda. Pretty funny and part of U2 releases for years.

"World music this is not," he says, though U2 fans will "feel the difference". Polyrhythmic is the word he chooses with a self-deprecating laugh. "U2 in dancefloor shock. Normally when you play a U2 tune, it clears the dancefloor. And that may not be true of this. There's some trance influences. But there's some very hardcore guitar coming out of The Edge. Real molten metal. It's not like anything we've ever done before, and we don't think it sounds like anything anyone else has done either."
He hopes to have a new U2 album out next year. "We have enough material for two albums but it has to be extraordinary. And I think we've got that."
