[Zoots]

November 2007 (not likely) or November 2008 (very likely) will be the date.

Just in time for Christmas!

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Just in time for Christmas!

Those sellout bastards.












Eh, it'll come out when it comes out. I love the internet and hate it for what it's done for stuff like this.

 

[RademR]

June release? probably another greatest hits album

 

[Zoots]

Very true.

 

[Pero]

greatest hits probably

 

[Zooropean103]

What about this IMAX movie? June is pretty likely, though previously there was some talk about spring premiere.

 

[mandy1973]

Hmmm...sounds VERY ambitious to me

 

[U2girl]

Optimistic, aren't they?

I say Fall release (like all of their albums except War, JT, Zooropa and Pop), 2007.

 

[matsimon]

u2, aerosmith, coldplay, david bowie, arcade fire, stereophonics

 

[Utoo]

Does anyone know what this part means?

Någon gång under året

I'm guessing something like "date unspecified" or something else along those lines. The list that follows that consists of just about everybody in music.

That is what it means, or literally "Sometime this year"

 

[2861U2]

ooooh I've been waiting for new MB20

 

[Utoo]

That is what it means, or literally "Sometime this year"

thanks

 

[U2Man]

why is arcade fire listed as "sometime this year" when it is just about certain that it will be released in april? it is definitely more certain than u2 in june, since their album is already completely done. expressen are shitheads.

 

[Lemonboy]

expressen are shitheads.

Tell me something I don't know.

It's Swedens "The Sun".

 

[J_NP]

Maybe finally A Best of LIVE

 

[The_Edge89]

Tell me something I don't know.

It's Swedens "The Sun".

So true.
Remeber a couple of years ago their competitor "Aftonbladet" was so sure that the U2004 album would be called "Solaris"

Seriously, leave this to the people that knows this stuff i.e. Q Magazine, Dave Fanning/Jo Whiley/Zane Lowe or something/somebody.

Edit:
I'd just like to add the following, which I would say is a fairly recent statement:

from U2 by U2 "Until The End Of The World 2002-2006" (page 320)

PAUL: ...There is no point in a big artist putting out a record any other time than in the fourth quarter of the year, when record sales worldwide are so big it is really equivalent to the rest of the year put together. So as we missed the dead lines for a fall release, the album slipped not into early 2004 but late 2004, ...

And besides, the band has learnt it's lessons with setting up deadlines, right?
They just finished a two year long world tour.

So for me that makes it really clear that if there's some truth in this rumor at all it will most likely not be a fresh studio album, but rather another compilation of some sort.

 

[chocky]

The fact that the new Guns n Roses album - listed as a March release - has been on lists like these for 13 years shows how credible they are.

 

[IrishDawg]

hahah like Chinese Democracy will come out in March

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

maybe it's an album of abba covers

 

[LMP]

FERNANDO!

 

[LemonMelon]

u2, aerosmith, coldplay, david bowie, arcade fire, stereophonics

 

[U2FanPeter]

Springsteen should be listed sometime in 2007. I also thought Avril set a date?

 

[shart1780]

Avril, Aerosmith and Coldplay all suck horrible.

 

[beLIEve_ZOO121]

WTF? Blur is listed.

 

[jacobus]

maybe a best of the best

 

[LemonMelon]

WTF? Blur is listed.

I think they will be recording in 2008.
