U2’s new album “full of big ideas”

Journalist Neil McCormick reports on the first full playback of the new U2 album in today’s Telegraph. (reg.req)

He writes: “It is a big album, full of big ideas, delivered with beginner’s energy and veteran’s craft.”

We’re looking forward to Neil McCormick’s new book ‘I Was Bono’s Doppelganger’.

McCormick, whose brother was present at that infamous first meeting after Larry Mullen put a ‘wanted’ ad on the school bulletin board, has written his memoirs of growing up in the shadow of this old friend Bono.

It’s available for pre-order from an Amazon.com (or UK) outlet (or other booksellers) near you.

If you’re looking for more things to read, why not go over to the Dallas Schoo fansite. Dallas has just completed an interview with his fanclub.

Words not your thing? There’s video and still images of the band meeting fans outside their studio on the ‘Station vs U2’ website.

  1. New U2 album with BIG ideas? Will it be a “great” album like Joshua/Achtung or merely a good album like “ATYCLB”? It’s been 4 long years….hope they spent their time wisely…

  3. wonder if the big ideas relate to Bono’s lyrics. Wouldn’t be surprised if there is a whole glut of songs relevant to his work over the last couple of years. Can’t wait to hear new songs. It’s all about the tunes at the end of the day!
