April 13, 20242 yr 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.
April 13, 20242 yr Even reading the Wikipedia page is a wild story - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pop_(U2_album)
April 13, 20242 yr Did Phil Forget the Password of the Alien Radio fm twitter account or something?lol

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.
April 13, 20242 yr 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.
April 17, 20242 yr When will a promotional single be released? Assuming moon music comes out late 2024, maybe early may(I'm delusional)?
April 17, 20242 yr 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.
April 17, 20242 yr 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. Edited April 17, 20242 yr by gustavothehuman
April 17, 20242 yr 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. Edited April 17, 20242 yr by GamingForeverAUS

If they just make the book a lot bigger they can do something similar...

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?
April 17, 20242 yr 11 minutes ago, Admirice said: 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. From what I know it should be a shoegaze song. Is it true?

I have it on CD, and I also bought the meditation version of iTunes a while ago. It's lovely music to listen to when you're stressed or trying to do work. That said it isn't much like his other albums, which were a bit more aggressive with songs like Emerald Rush, Everything Connected, Open Eye Signal and Vessel, although they are themselves banging tunes. Edited April 19, 20242 yr by Doomotron
April 18, 20242 yr Other than Neon Forest, are there any other more understated songs being considered for MM along the lines of A Wave, One World, Earthling, Human Heart, Infinity Sign etc?
April 18, 20242 yr 4 hours ago, Admirice said: It will be released. Woah! That's very surprising news! I feel like we have a decent idea of what's on MM now, if I'm correct we have: Moon Music, Jupiter, Good Feelings, The Only One, A Wave (?), Mining on the Moon (?), Neon Forest, Aeterna (B-Side) FILFL (?), UFO II (LP11?) One World. Have I missed any?

I know some of them had been telling others about some of these upcoming songs so yeah I might as well just post it here. Feels Like I'm Falling In Love (FLIFIL) Neon Forest One World A Moon Song Angel Song Jupiter The Only One Good Feelings All My Love Man In The Moon I’m curious about FLIFIL. How does it sounds like? Have your heard it?
