... if we're lucky that is.
My suspicion is Christmas 2010.

The U2.Com team have just returned from Fez, Morocco where the band have been songwriting with Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois. Throughout June, we’ll be bringing you some stories from inside the U2 Riad. Although working with long-time friends and producers Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois, it was a new slant on this relationship. Larry seemed to be enjoying the experience, ‘It’s the first time we’ve worked with Brian and Dan in a purely songwriting capacity,’ he said. ‘So it’s very different, quite experimental and kind of liberating because of that…’ But as far as where these new songs will go - the message is clear - it’s early days and there is no definite plan about where and when this music goes next. “We have no plans for the music yet,” Bono told us. “We’re just going to make it until we can’t not put it out!"

Bear in mind, if they do recycle songs from BOMB sessions and if they were more productive in EZE and ABBEY ROAD than first thought, then should there be regular sessions in Morocco through til August, they could almost certainly have enough material for an album.
The question is, would a NOV 07 release be somewhat rushed, and would it detract from the innovative nature and potential classic-ness and remarkability of LP12?

They're not going to release an album unless they're going to put the mammoth tour right behind it. 00s era U2 will not release an album unless it lends itself to a mammoth tour either, so....

Given that The Bono has been on some of the most visible shows in the States just in the past two days, like Oprah and Nightline, and he's selling Vanity Fair, not laying the groundwork for an album, I think you can write off 2007.

U2girl said:Edge, Bono, Eno, Larry's seat, Adam, Lanois. Is the beardy guy between Bono and Edge Rubin?
"It’s the first time we’ve worked with Brian and Dan in a purely songwriting capacity." So the credits will be Music by U2, Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno?

the "U2.com team" was just in Fez w/ the band and this is all they've got for us! oh well.

I think we might give the u2.com team some credit here. How in God's name would anyone have heard about what they were doing otherwise? They've told us that Eno and Lanois are there to songwrite with the band AND given us a couple of brilliant photos. So credit where credit is due I think.
Anyway, exciting times.

But I think they could've told us so more and given us a few more pictures.
