U2’s Defiantly Joyful Return: Mullen Resumes Drums as New Album Takes Shape

U2 is recording a follow-up to Songs of Experience with Larry Mullen Jr. back on drums after neck surgery, following Bram van den Berg’s stint during the Sphere residency. The band released the Days of Ash EP and Bono says roughly 25 songs are in contention for future projects, with a mood described as “defiantly joyful” and celebratory rather than mournful; there is no timeline yet, but the album isn’t far behind, and Mullen says he’s rebuilt and playing with renewed energy.

U2's 'Songs of Surrender' Revisited and Reviewed.

U2's 'Songs of Surrender' Revisited and Reviewed.

U2 releases "Songs of Surrender," an album of 40 reimagined songs, and a Disney+ documentary, "Bono & the Edge: A Sort of Homecoming, With Dave Letterman," reflecting on the band's past. The album features largely acoustic arrangements of U2's arena anthems, recasting them as private conversations. The documentary mixes biographical interviews and bits of Ireland's history, and stages two performances. While the album has a few clever second thoughts about U2's catalog, most of the remakes strip away too much, leaving the inescapable fact that these songs are being rethought and revived years later, not created anew.
