This is not a fake U2 album, it's just a not-U2-covers album inspired by U2 song titles, with varying degrees of whimsy.

Ok, I'm quoting both you and crut if that's ok and reupping.
People will probably still download it thinking it's U2, though. for real.

Crutis the crooton told me about this thread. I can't believe it's buried away on the "I Make Music" board. You didn't tell me you'd done a track for this Crutis!
This is ILM creativity at its finest! I am so happy that people have come forth and expressed themselves and made this thing. This is fantastic. Why don't you guys post about this on ILM?

NOOOO DAN DON'T PLAY THEIR GAME
I kinda feel bad about the cover now. I mean, if the goal is to trick megaU2 fans into downloading it, as soon as they see some lady Bono rising up from the bottom of the ocean and chasing some blue lady wearing sunglasses up a ladder they're going to realize it's not legit.

Hmm. "U2 fans" is a large population. So even if the proportion of really fucking stupid ones is the same as it is in any normal population (and you might, if you were being all zingy and ILX about it, say it'd be higher), that's still a shitload of people who might just fall for it, no matter what ;)

is this something to engage in a lot of handwringing over? it's in the wild now. if you want to download it, change the artist title on the files to U2, swap out ZS's artwork for the real stuff, and upload it to yr blog, how are we gonna stop you? this is a lark and anything that brings more lulz is welcome afaic.
I'm glad to have the version w/ everybody's names, I don't think I could upload this to fairtilizer as teh new U2 album. prolly would get yanked off the site with a quickness.

I don't really care about tricking anyone, I think pretty much everything everyone did on here is awesome and shd be heard

lol it is probably for the best that my droney 10-minute song isn't on here because Tombot did it way better anyway

320kbs update for audiophile dillweeds:
dan - were you able to gen a 320kbs version of "moment of surrender"?
alextc - are you interested in submitting a 320kbs version?
snoball - assume you are sending me one shortly
tom's is 270 VBR - dan, can you ask him if he wants to send a link to a 320kbs version?
nabisco - plz reconsider yr stance, that satire's deep like plush velvet seats and 192kbs makes baby jesus cry
― 鬼の手 (Edward III), Monday, 2 March 2009 02:54 (fifteen years ago) link
aw thanks dan, I was about to apologize for not delivering on this concept:
Ned's spoken words definitely have to be the closing of the album with some background music or something (eheh, I've just imagined it with a funky synth track a la "thriller"'s vincent price's rap !)
