Zoo Tour(s) were also my favorite, although the later ones were technically advanced. Wondering with this tour they're thinking of a return of sorts.

I like the song "Mercy". If the album "Songs of Ascent" were any indication of this type material it's a real shame. But yeah, I know their moniker is to keep changing and not live in the past. Although they're doing it right now.

Cool, good news. I'm curious to hear the album. I suppose the "noisy" album will include Atomic City. It's not a bad track in my opinion. Funny, my Wife immediately said is that Blondie like many others.

As awesome as The Sphere is U2 (or anyone) will never top ZOO TV.
Zoo Station and it's opening (for the stadium tours especially) was brilliant and beyond anything that hack Roger Waters could come up with.
The Fly was complete overload.
Until The End Of The World was Mozart on steroids with video screens and a wah-wah pedal.
ZOO TV was just a complete change of the medium. Chaotic upheaval with mind numbing pace/content that has become normal.
Somehow U2 predicted and predicated, unknowingly, how the future, since then until now, and for however longer, how technology + attention span + volume/size + sound + vision/content all being slammed together, would be.
Because ever since ZOO TV, media, in general, has been of that chaos; prior to ZOO TV it was grampa's slow version of about to snooze TV.
