Famous Old Painter Posted April 13, 2024 Share Posted April 13, 2024 They agreed to book a big stadium tour and lock in a hard release date before the album was finished. They were working on it until the 11th hour (Bono was literally re-recording vocals at the mastering desk the night before the album was sent to pressing). In the end they released an album that no-one in U2 is happy with, because they consider it unfinished. But everything had already been booked, they couldn't delay the album any further.Β 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U2 played during that tour some great shows, but there were others with half attendance in some stadiums, or too many mistakes (particularly at the first shows). Coldplay is nowadays somewhere you got to be, and something cool to show your followers, and all the tour has sold out without effort, and any more legs they will add anywhere in the world will get the same result.

gustavothehuman Posted April 13, 2024 Share Posted April 13, 2024 I don't mind the band taking it easy with the schedule. People are going to complain about the album no matter what, so they should at least be happy with it before releasing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumfaothechinesehacker Posted April 17, 2024 Share Posted April 17, 2024 When will a promotional single be released? Assuming moon music comes out late 2024, maybe early may(I'm delusional)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdBry Posted April 17, 2024 Share Posted April 17, 2024 Not Shure about a promotional single, maybe a lead one, but now my expectations are very low, rumours indicated that a single will came out in late april/early may but we are almost at the half of month... So I don't know what to think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gustavothehuman Posted April 17, 2024 Share Posted April 17, 2024 (edited) I think I said this already but there is no reason to release anything before the Friday preceding Big Weekend. As for the "rumours", they are nothing but fans making delusional theories. Β Edited April 17, 2024 by gustavothehuman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GamingForeverAUS Posted April 17, 2024 Share Posted April 17, 2024 (edited) we made an interesting observation on the discord: According to the Atlantic Music press release there were over 120,000 submissions for One World. Even though they plan on crediting everyone on the DIGITAL booklet; can you imagine the scenes if they decided to print the linear notes for the song?? If we averaged it to 15 characters thats over 1.5 million characters and about 600 pages at the minimum if you cram everything u possibly could. They should start planting more trees per ticket so they can release the album alongside a novel sized booklet of just names.

If they just make the book a lot bigger they can do something similar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's listed in the credits in the Live at River Plate broadcast - the current assumption is that its the ambient intro for Yellow used on the MOTS tour. It would be a bit strange if it makes Moon Music though what would its context be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a bit strange if it makes Moon Music though what would its context be? Neon Forest is not the Ambient intro before Yellow. The intro only used a Bass Sound from NF. NEON FOREST would be a song in MM with Jon Hopkins's classic Ambient flavour. The intro is long and Chris would sing when the drums explode in the middle of the song. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Shoegaze is rather focusing on guitar creating soundwalls. We are talking about Jon Hopkins with his electronic Ambient soundwaves haha. You can listen to some of his latest works, a lot like the song. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
