If not that it will be a single (Every Breaking Wave) with 2 or 3 B-sides (Kingdom, Winter...live song maybe?)
Originally posted by vanquish:It'll be more than just an EP of b sides, we know that they have a lot of material leftover from the NLOTH sessions that were left out due to the mix of genres/ styles that the band wanted on the album, rather than due to quality.
SOA is going to be the more experimental, slower songs that weren't suited to NLOTH, which the band intended to be a mainstream hit.

What, songs like Unknown Caller, Moment Of Surrender, Being Born, Breathe, Get On Your Boots and Cedars? Nah.
They're going back to Hanover Quay - there's a photo somewhere.

They were originally going down a much more experimental route, and scaled it back in favour of something more accessible, which NLOTH is. Case in point, the inclusion of songs like GOYB, SUC, Crazy Tonight instead of Winter and Every Breaking Wave which were cut.
The only really out there song on the album is Cedars.

Bono: 'We recorded three new songs'
Posted: December 06, 2009

Appearing on the Brazilian TV show Fantastico, Bono says the band recently recorded three new songs:
"At the end of October, we had one of the best shows of our lives in Los Angeles. We left the stage so excited that we went straight to the studio and recorded three new songs."
Bono's probably exaggerating on the "straight into the studio" after the Pasadena show thing; he and Edge reportedly spent a couple weeks working on new songs after the band's Berlin performance on November 5th. The Brazilian interview was taped last week at the (RED)/Nike event in London. Bono also confirmed off-camera that U2 will bring the U2 360 tour to Brazil, but he didn't say when. (Thx to @christycorr and @cdirani.)
