When it hits the "play it to Mario Batali phase," things really start heating up

I am still happy with SOI. I give it a spin from time to time and it still feels new, so I'm not desperate for another one yet.

But still, Bono saying next year tells me that it's not gonna drop before that. I mean, when has that ever happened, an album dropping BEFORE Bono's lie.
Will be a nice twist though...

If they would debut one of the songs tomorrow or on monday i would go bonkers. Like they did with some unfinished songs on 360.
When has it happened? You missed the Songs of Innocence release, then?

Was right here, and suffered much in the lead up, like the rest of you. That was a surprise release though and in case you missed it , the method of release caused a bit of a backlash, just a smidge.
I will admit that amid all the conflicting reports leading up to that release, I actually don't remember if Bono or anyone said it would be released later than it actually was. Weren't they just saying stuff like 'it's almost done, we need to do this or that different from the last record', etc?
And also, wasn't SOI supposed to be released much earlier, according to soundbytes from the band pre 2014? My point is, next year is possibly the first definite date we have heard about SOE (I might be wrong), and to have it drop before that would be unprecedented in U2 releases post 2000.

The more that I have read about the history of Zooropa leads me to believe that SOE will be what they had envisioned for Zooropa to be come full circle this time out

I think Billboard reported in late summer 2014 that the album got pushed to 2015. Thankfully that wasn't true.

I saw that too - my instinct tells me it's probably something like 'Stay', or 'Stuck', and that for whatever reason, those hearing it couldn't quite make it out.
I suspect that given Songs of Experience seems more fully thought out (and much further along) than Songs of Ascent/Untitled-mid-360-tour-album ever was. With that in mind, i'd have assumed that if we hear anything first as a live rendition (before a single/album release), it would be a big, full band, epic song announced as the first single - rather than the acoustic, bare bone demos we got out of tunes like North Star and EBW.
For the 360 tour, it seemed like the band played all that new material as early demos, perhaps to test out audience reception, or maybe even just as a treat for the tour delay (when Bono hurt his back)... None of that material was really ready.
I suspect if they debuted something now, it would be more finished and 'proper' than it was for the last tour. So that makes me skeptical that our first glimpse of SoE material would be an acoustic song... unless the song is written that way (emulating how they ended up with EBW?)
Pretty dead in here - thought I'd try and stimulate something with the tidbit from the soundcheck thread - apparently an 'unknown' acoustic song was rehearsed in Berlin today.

I'm starting to get slightly excited... ugh, that's bad.
