47 minutes of Adam brushing his teeth would be an improvement on their recent output

This is exactly why they get away with not being up to the old U2 standard. Because we will still go and they will still make millions of dollars and only put in half the effort. I would much rather see a great new Album put out and hold off on the tour until the album has taken off then play all the arenas or stadiums etc.....Now a days concerts venues are booked before the album even drops. When the Joshua Tree was released the album already hat hits being played before any concerts were announced. Then you couldn't buy a ticket to save your life.

I agree - one gets the sense U2 are much more interested in playing big connects rather than releasing albums with integrity - the album is simply a gimmick to publicise the tour. Certainly 360 supports this argument - most people here would agree and I see no reason to doubt them

A U2 album that takes a full year to produce is considered by the band to be more than just a 'gimmick' to publicise a tour.

Not when one considers the financial rewards of a big tour
