    The difference is that the in store display, says title TBC and has a date listed while the site says 'Songs of Ascent' and has no date listed.

    It could well be that the website listing is purely speculative (as many retailers do for games and music releases) while the store display is based on new information. Universal would have advised retailers of upcoming releases and it probably had a new U2 album down to release on that date.
    Cause there's no way HMV would just make up an exact date (ie. they might say Q4 2010 or something but not an exact date unless they were given it).

    So there is hope.
  2. I never trust things like this. Release dates, even at stores and on websites can be misleading and false.

    I remember a few months back, a friend and I were waiting for a video game to get announced, and it still hasn't, but a video game store (gamestop) had it on their list of games that have been announced and that are being released. They even had dates. The dates were wrong, they hadn't been announced, and the dates that they said have come and passed and nothing, and eventually the game got taken off of the list, and they made a big mistake.

    That was my anecdote. Essentially, I'll believe it when I hear U2 themselves (or Paul) say it.
  3. November 8th is a monday. Aren't albums released on tuesdays?
  4. Apparently local radio stations in Mexico have annouced an extra Mexico City date. Nothing offical from U2 yet though.
  5. Great even the official site starts rumours they cant confirm nor deny.
