We haven't seen it in print ourselves, but according to "dland9393," a member of our forum, Bono tells Rolling Stone magazine that U2's next studio album will be called Songs Of Ascent, it'll be released in 2010, and that "Every Breaking Wave" will be the first single -- a "surging anthem." And here's a choice Bono quote about the next album:

"Songs Of Ascent will be quieter than No Line in many ways, it's that ghost album of hymns and Sufi singing. We're making a kind of heartbreaker, a meditative, reflexive piece of work, but not indulgent."
 
I like the title...very biblical...book of psalms-ish...and definitely referencing the psalms of ascent (pilgrimage to the city of Jerusalem) at the end of psalms.

I'm really excited about a more subdued, "meditative", hopefully more mature album. Boo hiss on the 2010 part.
