Considering the facts stated above, and that a Universal Music Group International tweet (@UMusicColombia) stated the new U2 album “Sirens” will be finished in September (that tweet has since been removed, but you can see the screenshot below), and the little “snafu” on u2.com a few weeks back where Live Nation listed the release date for an untitled album under the discography link (see second screen shot below), it is a very good possibility that we will see the new U2 release drop on Tuesday, November 4. 2014.
 
RUMOR ALERT: an insider at universal FRANCE saying the first album set for a november release will be this:

with the unreleased song Siren as a single...

In 2015, a second album, original this time...

To be continued!
 

A couple weeks ago someone mentioned it. U2.com is full of bugs like this. It's a crying shame that a band this big can't get a competend webcrew.

actually - the "bug" has since been fixed - it's no longer possible to get that page. if you try and enter an unassigned album ID, you get "page not found"

try it yourself - this is the same URL as depicted in that image:

This is just all speculation, but going back to artdirector's post:
So here's some news...and Im not one to post unless its credible. The album will be released this year. Late October early november. Official single to come out late september/early october. The tour will be announced in December with the first date sometime in March/April. The band are looking to release a high paced single to kick off the album.

This comes from the same friend who had given me news for the last 14 years starting with ATYCLB and HTDAAB. He works at universal music in L.A. Things may change but thats what the band have agreed to. Now he did say he believes the band have struggled with this album because Paul McGuinness has not been actively involved with their day to day studio work. Looks like they need their 5 member more than ever. Thats what I know.

That is just depressing.

While this is an excellent hypothetical cover for the 2000-2010 best of, I would probably just stop being a U2 fan if they released this in November.

Someone just had a lot of time on their hands. Remember 'Lucky Number'?

This is just all speculation, but going back to artdirector's post:


It's pretty obvious they've struggled with this album, given the fact that, for starters it's taken so long! Then they had so much hype around Invisible and then they have disappeared and basically said nothing except for the usual garbage that the "album is in final mixing" blah blah blah.

Would be nice if they had something official on U2.com with some sort of rough expectation time frame and actual honesty from the band without sugar coating it. :shrug:

I agree, but I guess they only want to address certain things like controversy with pre-sales and management changes. I'm more than sure they'll address everything regarding the new album when they finish and it's ready to go.

:lol: I can't even begin to imagine the reactions here if this came to pass. 67 pages of non-stop "fuck U2" comments would only be the beginning of the beginning :D
 
As much as I would laugh my ass off if it ended up being a Best Of, that has got to be one of the dumbest and false rumors I've seen in some time.
 
In the end, they don't owe us anything.
Which is why this upcoming album will be the last one, and it will be a double album, followed by the biggest farewell tour in the history of music. Start saving people, there will be LOTS of shows to go to! :wink:

[/maybe true, but sarcasm for now]
 
Possible conclusions:
- Bono is holding an album listening party/BBQ with the band and friends
- Showing off the new material to Rubin
- Bono is having second thoughts yet again

Discuss.
