Hold on, but you just said it was a "very disappointing list", which basically translates into you saying it's a crap list. Now you're saying it's good?
A new release (as in a new album) is pretty much left for another discussion, but I'm going to answer your question anyway. Yeah, they should have had another album out since 2010, but remember, Bono's back put everything back, then subsequently delayed the tour, which only finished 6 months ago. U2 are a band that feel if they release an album, they have to tour. If we expect an album late this year, early next year; we'll expect an arena tour pretty much soon after. They will want that album to be perfect, like they always have done before. We can't compare back to the 80's because there was tremendous pressure from record companies to get albums out. Now that U2 are (one of) the biggest band(s) in the world, they can do whatever they want. No one will force them to release an album, they'll do it when they want. Remember, they have families and everything too. They are also getting old - a 2 year tour is bound to exhaust you. They didn't fuck up NLOTH at all. Did you only listen to it once and then throw it in drawer ready for it to be covered in dust sometime later? It grew on everybody, it just didn't have that hit single: that was probably the issue with NLOTH. It should have done better in charts, but it was a good album. In my opinion, it's better than HTDAAB and ATYCLB - therefore making it the best U2 album of the noughties.
To be honest, it sounds entirely like you are bashing your apparent favourite band in quite a cruel way. It sounds like you've just came onto this forum as some hardcore indie fan who hates proper rock music, then said that U2 are failing. Just enjoy what we have already for christ sake. Most bands don't even make it past 35 years, nevermind 20.

Well said though, pretty much the truth (arena tour can get scrapped however, stadiums all day long

A sorrow
shkee23 worte Go buy another copy of Duals on ebay then.
well, for me, DUALS is a shit. If you like it, no problem
But u2 could have done a better live album than U22. We are subscribers, and we want listen other things. If you want always listen the same songs...BE HAPPY!
