Just for those wondering - here is Bono’s quote regarding a new album from December 2018 u2.com subscribers video:
I'm very excited about the sound this band are making on the e-stage. There seems to me a kind-of punk energy, visceral energy, that shows this band to be the best they've ever been. So this is a real moment for us. We can stand right up against anyone, anywhere. And that's making me think I'd like to make a balls-to-the-wall rock album

"But first we'll need four years and eight producers to help make it happen. Trust me, this time it WILL be punk rock from Venus....or some other gaseous planet."
Punk rock from Venus sounds like an MRI machine!!!
And all the other planets make up a noise that could be translated into a meditative album!
Here's the evidence - enjoy

Yep, Uranus sounds a bit windy!
