U2 is revisiting its discography on the new project Songs of Surrender.  The album takes its name from the speaking tour undertaken last year by frontman Bono, tied to his memoirs. While writing those, he - along with guitarist The Edge, bassist Adam Clayton and drummer Larry Mullen, Jr. - went back into the studio to rearrange, re-record and reinvent 40 songs spanning nearly all of the band's albums and then some. The results, from early teases, promise to be stripped back as well as, in some cases, involving lyrics "finished" by Bono. "A few songs...I've always felt were never quite written," he wrote in Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story. "They are now. (I think.)" The Edge serves as producer and curator of the sessions, having built "sketch recordings" to review with producer Bob Ezrin.  The album is available in a variety of formats on CD, vinyl, and digital services.
