1. Eno&Lanois yes! Please no lemon anymore!!
  2. SOE is not a bad album. But SOI is by far a beter album. Listening them back to back.
  3. They need to dare to be themselves.
  4. There’s really not a lot in it for me, SOE is my 3rd favourite album and SOI 4th. I just think the high points on SOE are slightly better than the high points on SOI but both very strong albums.
  5. SOE is a Bono album with many producers and somewhat a u2 sound. SOI is more a U2 band album. And I prefer that. I miss on SOE the anger and sharpness of bono and edge.

    Good point. I never thought of this but I do agree. Little Things is the only u2 ish song. Everything else does sound like I would imagine a bono solo album would sound like

    Here are my points I would make to U2.
    1. Turn up the f***in drums.
    2. Turn up the bass a little
    3. Make a balanced mix of each song
    4. Turn down Bono, the band sound like they were recorded 50ft behind him.
    5. Edge play a damn riff for f%!ks sake
    6. You are known for the 4 of you playing together. Make the songs sound like that
    7. If you need more than 2 producers write better songs.
    8.You guys are known for Edge's distinct guitar sound, adam and Larrys distinct styles over the guitar, and Bono's personal and uplifting lyrics. Need a reference point look at your hits. Or the fact your 30 year old album is still super popular.
    9. If you are going to make albums in the studio, remember all the other things you used to do as well when you made albums. Such as only doing music and writing great songs. If you make a great meal with only certain ingrediants and leave others out that made it taste great, it will taste like sh*t. They all have to be there.
  8. people learning a 40 years old band to record a album
  9. i've stopped to expect a innovative masterpiece U2 album since 2009, to me, they record a good album is what i expect
