if nothing else, there's progress being made. Let's hope for the fall release with a tour in 2015.
A fall release is ridiculous. U2 would be insane to not take advantage of the holiday shopping season and release in December! Actually, they should just wait and have a huge announcement at the Super Bowl, and capitalise and all the attention and free publicity they'd be getting.
Or better yet, release the first single from the first album around the holidays, then release the first album around the Super Bowl. The release the second record just before the tour starts in the Spring. Or release the first single from the second record in Spring, and start the tour in support of the first and second records that summer. Then they can release the follow up EP of more personal songs the following fall.
They'd have to find a new charity, however, since they ended AIDS earlier this year.
