But I'm putting some time aside to just go and get lost in the music.
He then said "probably not" and that the rest of the band is tired of him saying these things. Also the Q interview with Edge today had him talking about new songs, so yeah, NLOTH isn't the end.
Can we read the Q interview anywhere?
i've been saying it for a couple days now. i do think NLOTH was U2's last album. just a gut feeling.

More of the same. I hope this Bonophase doesn't last long.
NLOTH will not be their last album. Unless they are making music, and staying "relevant", a lot of the doors that open for Bono in the boardrooms and staterooms around the country will close...and his ego won't allow him to become a second-tier concerned international rock star like Geldof. He'll get over this. What else is he going to do?
And in any event I don't think Larry will let him leave his band.
GOD I hope this is not the last one, but I said at the beginning of the tour when Bono sang wowy and he hung up the "suit of lights" it was symbolic and then he waived goodbye. It definitely had that vibe to me as much as I hate to admit it. Also, U2 is never going to annouce it, they aren't doing a farewell tour so ...
On the other hand I think this tour wore them out so asking them now what the future is and if they want to do it all over again, I would question it also. It's natural. They just need to do something else and get re-inspired. Bono will get revved up about something and off they go!
"Ironically, being forced to look back at this period reminds me of how we might re-emerge for the next phase," says Bono.
We have so many [new] songs, some of our best. But I'm putting some time aside to just go and get lost in the music. I want to take my young boys and my wife and just disappear with my iPod Nano and some books and an acoustic guitar."
yeah, and i really can't point to any specific signs. just this weird feeling that we're going to be blindsided one day to a U2.com announcement that the band has retired. i hope i'm wrong.
