1) they are not convinced that their new material is good enough to release
2) they are at this moment convinced it's good enough but they want to see if it's still good enough in a few months because they thought NLOTH was good enough at the time but it turned out it wasn't - they don't want to make a rushed decision because it has been nearly 5 years
Oh, 2) seems complicated... perhaps they've been really working, who knows.
I think they should relax, then record all the songs they've been working on since 2006 (if they haven't already), give them to fans, who'd then meet and decide via fist fights and other tribal methods which songs should go on the next album. Fans could also vote, but this would be boring. Unless we get the right rules, e.g. votes from U2starters who like the 'right' U2 songs would count for 10 etc.
Oh well: I really think I should stop thinking about U2's next album. There won't be one for many months (years?) to come.
Next?
I'm really enjoying the Tired Pony album. I hope they go on tour soon!
