U2 wants to deliver a masterpiece?

February 20th, 2008 -- by Scott Cederlund --> · No Comments

Brad sent me this link to Billboard:

U2 has hit the studio in Dublin to continue work on its next album with longtime collaborators Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois. “We’re going to try and break new sonic ground and deliver a masterpiece,” Lanois tells Billboard.com.

So what were they trying to do with How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb? Create a fair-to-middling album? Now I like U2 and all but does this mean they haven’t been trying to create masterpieces? I guess that explains the last couple of albums.

And here I was thinking about writing that Pop and Zooropa are their two best albums. I wonder if those were trying to deliver masterpieces?
