so you are saying with the whole 9 minutes of audio that we have that this is polished enough for an album this year? UR outa ur mind! NO way is that gonna happen.. We will be lucky and I mean very lucky if we seen an album next year.
oh.. and in case you forgot.. they are touring in the fall. Doesn't leave them much time to work on the album...
oy vey mama!

Zooropa? October? War, UF, and RAH weren't exactly made at a crawl like HTDAAB either.
My best guess for how things will go is this (as posted in the other thread):
- Now: U2 by themselves in the studio, creating tunes.
(- If the September non-album single rumour is true: Bring in a producer they know well, like Lanois, to produce a couple of songs for this single.)
- Late October: tour rehearsal
- November/December: tour.
- First half 2007: bring in album producer, record album.
- Second half 2007: release album, probably closer to Christmastime.
That seems realistic to me.

i hear ya on that axver, and I did mention zooropa but.. there are so many things factoring in nowadays.. for one the guys are older, their pace in doing albums has slowed down a bit, their lives are quite busy too, health of family members. I also said I could see an album release next year but certainly not this year there is too much going on..

This IS U2 we're talking about. They take forever.

I don't think late 2007 would be awkward for U2. They essentially have the bulk of 2006 off, then most of 2007 (last couple of months being promotional appearances and whatnot), and a tour in 2008. Do you really think they'd see that as too quick?

what's the rush to put an album this year? Besides, zooropa have they rushed to finish an album in less than a year. Not that I recall. They have no reason to rush an album.. Other than the holidays I don't see that as a big motivation for a new album (oh and the few dates in the fall to test it out..i doubt it). It would be hella cool if they did what Radiohead did this year, they did a small tour earlier this year and played their new songs at all the shows without an album being released. That is quite a risk/leap for a band to do and I commend them for it.. U2 should take that chance but I don't see it happening..

It's really only been the last two albums, and this is the first time we've seen them record during a tour since ZooTV.

Who knows...
