U2 Diagnosed with Vertigo for New Album?
New domain registrations may suggest upcoming album title

@U2, June 29, 2004

by Matt McGee

If history is any indication, U2's next studio album might be named
Vertigo.

The evidence suggesting the album title comes in the form of two
domain names which were registered last week, U2vertigo.com and
U2vertigo.net. The domains were registered June 22nd by a James Cooke
of Dublin, and both domains point to nameservers at Digital:CC --
that's the Dublin-based web and multimedia production company co-owned
by Adam Clayton's brother, Sebastian. Cooke is listed as the contact
person for Digital:CC at the company's listing at CreativeIreland.com.

Contacted this week by @U2, Regine Moylett, U2's publicity director in
London, didn't confirm or deny if Vertigo was the new album name, or
one of the names being considered. She did tell @U2 the album name is
"not yet known."

History suggests, however, that Vertigo may be one of the names being
considered for the new album.

In the summer of 2000, just months before the release of All That You
Can't Leave Behind, Digital:CC registered more than a dozen names that
referenced U2-related phrases. (See our August 11, 2000, story.) The
first names they registered were U2allthatyoucantleavebehind.com and
allthatyoucantleavebehind.com. And much like the recent registration of
U2vertigo.com, these older names were also registered by the same James
Cooke of Digital:CC. Compare here:

Domain: U2vertigo.com
Domain: U2allthatyoucantleavebehind.com

As far as we know, U2vertigo.com and U2vertigo.net are the only domain
names to be registered that may be related to the new U2 album.
However, it's very possible that other names we're not aware of have
also been registered, and that the Vertigo domain names have nothing at
all to do with the album. But we think history suggests otherwise, and
we'll continue to seek confirmation and further information about the
name of the next U2 album.

What do y'all think about this name? If this rumor is true, i think it's okay though it's not that deep. It's better than Solar, for sure.

Yes, I quite like the name. I think it will be a reflection of the music to be found on the album.

If I remember correctly, someone joked that "Solar" was an acronym for "S*** out of luck for album release". I quite like the name "Vertigo" actually. There's a hilarious coincidence involved, actually...it's in my journal.

LOL!

Someone had also said sth like "Sometimes Only Love AR" (can't remember what A and R stood for, lol)

Better than the sixth Harry Potter book's title, I'll say that. ;) I like it.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

It's no Order of the Phoenix...but I'm sure the book will be just dandy.

From:	hew_
Date:	June 29th, 2004 12:19 pm (UTC)

yeah, well, I really can't say whether it's deep or not since I haven't heard the tracks in the album yet...

it sounds decent. I'm more interested in getting the album itself, though. :-)

I like the name!

It's so... Achtung Baby :P

But, I'd heard that another possible name ''The Ordinary Land'' was... That's a name that you could place in The Joshua Tree era...

I love that title, I hope they're on the right track with that little investigation! It's wayyyyy better than ATYCLB...

Don't love it or hate it, really. Thank goodness it's short, though. I'm sure everyone got tired of writing out "All That You Can't Leave Behind." *phew!* :Þ

woo hoo! I am cool with VERTIGO! Now gimme the damn music! I am thinking an mp3 clip of the single should have leaked by now...maybe next month!

From:	axver

I think it's a pretty good title. I was one of the seemingly few people who thought Solar was a good title, and I liked Solar Winter even more than that. Vertigo should lead to some fun puns, slogans, and such.

How I would love a leak of some material ...
