I think that with the massive gap between albums these days it can be quite easy to start losing a bit of interest. By the time this album is released it will be nearly 4 and a half years since the last one. You could argue by saying that they toured through 2005 and 2006, and that's fair enough, but the point is that in 2007 and 2008 there has been nothing. Two whole years with no new product at all from U2. I'm not counting the re-releases because nobody outside the die-hard fans cares about those, and well, everyone here already has 98% of the material on them.
Myself, there have been periods where I haven't listened to them as much simply because it has been a "dead" period, like early this year for example, but I was so wrapped up in watching LOST that it didn't matter so much! That's the key: have another interest that you are similarly obsessed with!
