2026 it is.
I mean from what I heard I wouldn’t put it against them for shelving it…
My interest definitely diminished after hearing the snippets (still hugely appreciate Dan sharing them though!). Not that I think it sounds bad, but acoustic-U2 just isn't for me. (And of course we only hear intros/outros, but there's a clear consistency of centering most of the tracks on acoustic guitar.)
However, part of me hopes that what we've heard are certain mixes that are intentionally stripped back to be more appropriate for an audiobook, i.e. mellow, calm, focused. Perhaps the album edits will be a little more interesting...
I mean, the new version of WoWY sounds incredible, it would be crazy not to use that! (But then, it's based on cellos, harps and synths precisely because Edge, Adam and Larry aren't involved, so maybe we it's unlikely we get that version on SoS)
Also weird that U2songs posted to Facebook just to remind everyone of their website and social channels. They haven’t done that in years.
Only weird because they did it on the day they suggested a possible surprise album drop, around the time that would have made sense for it to happen.
Maybe it will be next years U2.com gift?
I think it’s really important to remember that in the credits of the book they talk about the editing of the music. There are moments where they isolate new vocals, moments where instruments later in. I am 95% certain that the spare acoustic arrangements are not all there is to those songs. WOWY in the book seems far more sparse than the Colbert performance.

Oh that's interesting, so the credits reference the song snippets as being altered by editing in some way?
Bono refers to music editing and mixing by the producers of the audiobook in the credits over 40. We know the original album providers were the music producers for the SOS album. If it was just clips it would be referred to as music editing, not editing and mixing - implies the individual tracks of the song themselves have been altered in some way.

Along with the Heartland movie, SOA, and the never released docu about I&E..... pfffff
