All I see on U2news.com is talk about the new single, the "Best of 1990-2000" album, and the "Gangs of NY" soundtrack. When will they release the new album? I hope that they're not trying to get away with just two new songs.
No date or rumours yet. I personally think they'll start working on a new album sometime in late 2002/early 2003, maybe release it by the end of the year or early 2004 but that's just my silly uninformed opinion. And after all, a good record takes time to make.
