    But I can be wrong

    AND

    I can't wait for the new album!!!!!!!!


    Easiest way to settle this would be a poll. Does U2start allow you to have polls in threads?
  2. Sorry for interrupting Coldplay debate No. 7391...

    From Hot Press:
    Following on from Bono's comments that 2009 will be their year, it's confirmed: there will definitely be no new U2 album this year.

    A band insider confirmed to Hot Press that February 2009 is now the likely launch date for the band's long-awaited follow-up to How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb. That new target was set, Hot Press understands, at meetings that have taken place over the past 36 hours in Nice, where the band have been based for the latter part of the summer.

    "There's still some details to be decided before the date is confirmed one hundred percent, but that's the plan," the source confirmed.

    Bono has already spoken about how U2 intend to make 2009 their year.

    “This is our chance for us to defy gravity once again,” he enthuses. “We have what it takes, we have the songs, new rhythms and a guitar player who is not ready to re-enter earth's atmosphere until he's taken a slice of the moon!




  3. Sounds pretty official. Oh well...I can wait that long.

    Death By Audio is here with MP3 samples: www.deathbyaudio.net

    I wouldn't trust any sources at this point.
  5. I think they have problems to come up with a decent title for the album. That's the reason for the delay.


  6. It's gonna be hard for me. February's a looooooooonnnnnnnnngggg way away! Could we have a single before then?


  7. Absolutely, a month before the new album arrives a new single will be released. Maybe January 1, just like Window In The Skies.

    Well then I think I could handle it. That month or so between the first single and the album release is gonna be phenonemnal! The excitement in the air will be electric!
  9. We will wait and see.
  10. I'm joining you, it's too hard to wait so long! I can't wait...

    Not to mention that the album always leaks a few weeks in advance of the official release


  12. My money's still on January 1. It is going to be interesting whether they have a long or short title.
