Songs Of Experience - General album discussions

Originally posted by ahn1991:I'm not predicting anything, but I'm also not worried. I know we'll get it sooner or later. I think the big break between the NA and European legs of the tour will be when we get more info.

Originally posted by bartajax:What if playing October is a hint towards the release of SOE? How cool would that be?

I wish it were true, but I don't see why October, of all songs, would herald the coming of SoE; why do you think so?

Originally posted by RattleandHum1988:Not going to happen. The only possible time I see this album maybe coming out that early is between the NA and Europe legs, but that's a LONG shot - meaning there's like a 1% chance U2 will do it.

I think if they were anywhere near ready to release it we'd already be hearing some songs from it in the current show. Keep in mind that when they were still talking about releasing Songs of Ascent they were at least playing some new songs in the show they were touring.

At this point I'm fully expecting it never to come out, or after the tour is completely over. So like next Fall, or after, or never. U2 get tired of ideas very quickly it seems. So months ago when Bono was saying that Experience was coming out, I wouldn't be surprised that he'd be singing a different tune if you sat him down now. He'd probably say they have two more albums coming out and one of them is a rock opera while the other is a club album

I don't I just was bored while waiting on the metro, thought maybe they are teasing us with October to point out the month october in which they will release SOE. Probably just a stupid link, but I just thought it would be cool haha.

Agh hope not, I heard something about that too like two years ago but it was old material they ditched. It was going to be a side project.

No, I think the album is probably 90-95% done as of now. They'll probably spend most of the break rehearsing it live and maybe putting some final touches on the album, but I do not expect them to spend significant time in the studio.
