U2, over the last 20 years has become one of music's untouchable icons. As the band has progressed through stardom during their entire career the world has been able to not only hear the change that they have brought to music, but they have changed the way we think about music entirely.
U2 was one of the pioneers in forming songs around this new decade of people. U2 bridged the gap between this generation and the last by creatively writing songs with a modern day conviction/theme to them.
U2 is releasing their newest album on the 3rd of March 2009. This album has been the most pre-ordered album in the last two years. The one big reason for the popularity of the pre-order on this album is that U2 never, ever lets their fans down, so my guess is that the pre-order route is a safe one to take.
U2 has always recored clean albums. Most of their songs could be played in even the more conservative environments. Since this album is not released yet I'm not sure if that pattern will remain true to form. So listen to it before you buy it. I'm sure that I will be one of those waiting in line to purchase the album when it comes out. I'll give you more info when I have the chance to listen to the album in its entirety. Until then, check out their single on itunes.
