New Album Rumors?

[Dalton]

Has there been any recent comments about U2's next album? I don't hold out any hope that it will be soon, but I was wondering if the boys have mentioned anything in the press or to any fans at the show.

 

[youtwohearts]

I remember hearing something about a new album soon, this was before the concert tour. Something about an album being released in 2006. I am not 100% sure

 

[U2girl]

Bono and Edge said it's coming soon, Adam said they've got "another album in them" and Lillywhite talked about songs on the new album, specifically Northern Star (about Johnny Cash).

 

[TheMofoFly]

dunno i heard they were only strating to talk about it now, and they're in no rush. twas in an interview before croke park

 

[the tourist]

I heard November 2006.

I think we should wait till this tour is over, before we start to think about the next U2 album.

Ever heard of Zooropa?

 

[liamcool]

The country of the imagination, of course!

 

[bono_man2002]

Ever heard of Zooropa?

Yes, as well as Boy , October and War which all came out within 3 years.....Now we get one new album per four years.

 

[Irishteen]

Zooropa was good, lets hope U2 do a second Zooropa but spend a little more time on it 10 weeks lets say, and remember U2 true perfection has to be imperfect.

I believe we'll get a new album in 2006...let's just hope that this time they'll be satisfied with the 'first' takes and not feel the need to redo the whole thing again like it happened with HTDAAB, so it won't take them that long.

No kidding! Don't let Larry hear the songs. Just tell him what drums to hit where and otherwise lock him in a closet with ear plugs until the release date.

 

[liamcool]

Larry actually got called off the toilet during the recording of Zooropa to do some drumming for "Lemon", I believe.

 

[gareth brown]

Ever heard of Zooropa?

ZING!

 

[liamcool]

*lightbulb blows*

 

[Flying FuManchu]

I'm ready for a new U2 album.

 

[the tourist]

I'm ready for the laughing gas.

Point is, it was recorded mid tour. When this tour started their were comments from band members that would lead some to believe they may try this again.

 

[Chizip]

for Zooropa they had more than a 2 month beak between tour legs

they dont have thta kind of free time this time

i would highly doubt we see an album in 2006

Yeah, I'm not saying its out of the question, and I would love to see it happen. It just seems a bit unlikley to me.

If they do it though, hopefully they tour again the countries that miss out on the new songs (like America with Zooropa)

Hope thats not to far off track...its 2:30am

 

[the tourist]

The tour will be over before the beginning of 2006. So imagine two months off, three months in the studio, album released by late summer 2006, tour in the fall of Australia and Japan.

 

[liamcool]

YEAH! WE GET THE NEW MATERIAL AGAIN! Haha, you American's might get two legs, but we get all the new material. *dances*

Okay, so that post has no sanity because it's 2:30am and I'm on a caffeine high.

But there is talk of an Aussie Tour in January next year, Unless it changes, I hope not . (more time to save, If it is Nov. '06)

YEAH! WE GET THE NEW MATERIAL AGAIN! Haha, you American's might get two legs, but we get all the new material. *dances*

I just cant sleep

 

[liamcool]

Neither can I. *laughs*

OMG Treasure just came on on my media player thingy! *gets up, dances*

 

[Flying FuManchu]

I was hoping the gaps between tour dates/ shows in the NA first leg would be used for recording.



Lazy bastards!

 

[Chizip]

hey i'd love to see an album in 2006, but i just dont think the current U2 is capable of that

when they released ATYCLB they talked about releasing a quick follow up to capitalize on its success, and we all know how that turned out

 

[liamcool]

Apparently you were wrong. Hell, what do we know? They still could have been used for recording that we just don't know about.

 

[the tourist]

Maybe this time it will actually happen. *shrugs*

Just think, U2 on a little analog 8-track mixer in a hotel room for the next album.
