By all accounts, they have enough material from the recent sessions for a second disc, but it also seems like we hear similar rumors every album.

I think it all depends on how the tour will progress and what their state of mind will be during it
Originally posted by markp91:I think the guys become a bit too old to be so quick again, you know? It was possible in 1993, when they were all in top form and still young and energic.
Now they have complete family's, they're nearing their 50's and the recordings take longer nowadays. Plus Bono isn't available very often, since he does all this charity work.
And quality above quantity, without a doubt

I give you just two words: Bruce and Springsteen
new album: 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2009 (almost 2008), Bruce is turning 60...

Yep, but Springsteen is not the same person as Bono
First of all: Age isn't all that matters.
Second: Bruce doesn't support every charity project
Third: He doesn't talk to every politician in the world
Fourth: Springsteen doesn't smoke, does he? Makes him probably fitter than Bono.
Fifth: Maybe Bruce can write songs very quick. Some artists need a very long time to write a song, some artists write one every 5 minutes. I think U2/Bono need a very long time for a song, while Bruce probably writes very quick
