1. I'll take this with the necessary portion of salt.

    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.

    With HTDAAB, we heard the same stuff, they had so much material.. yeah we loved the album that was released shortly afterwards.
  2. release it when the tour is burning out
  3. on the other hand, we heard during zooTV that a new single was going to be released, which soon turned into an EP, which soon turned into a full album called Zooropa...

    I think it all depends on how the tour will progress and what their state of mind will be during it

    and how good Coldplay's 2009 album is...
  6. 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...


  8. 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
  9. Bring it on!!! I hope it does happen!!
    More U2, More U2!!!

    And Bruce only released one studio album (The Ghost of Tom Joad) between 1992 and 2002. U2 always does this.

    well, they've already written enough songs for a second album, so that shouldn't be the problem.
    This time I believe that there is big chance there will be new material before the end of the year. They've hitten a rich vein didn't they..
