Is There Still Any Point In U2 Making A New Album?

jick:
Is there even such a thing as an EP nowadays? Do the newcomers here even know what EP stands for?

I would think an EP is perhaps more prehistoric than an album.

Cheers,

Fair point - bands like Radiohead still release limited edition vinyl and free downloads in the EP or single formatt though. Mainly because they care deeply for their fans.

But yes, the whole concept of LP's, EP's and even albums is getting increasingly lost in today's digital environment

The Exile:
For those utes among us, an "EP" is a short album.

There, all better?

Actually it's an Extended Play...

marvgadgie:
The EP pretty much disappeared in the UK as a commercial force when the charts made a rule about a maximum number of songs on a "single" for it to count as a "single" and be allowed to be in the the Top 40. As the charts used to be important we all got less bang for our buck when buying singles ... I miss four track singles on 7" or even cassette.
