A bit surprised too.

Sorry, misunderstanding on my part...read into it wrong...fact is though, no one has answered my question.
We can't answer your question, because we're not Matt. I know, it's crazy, and I had to do a double-take myself, but we're really not.

so, nothing happened?
All this album speculation has made me......tired...
this is bogus, man !!
We will know today (17th of Dec) what is going on. The banner at the Spanish U2 site says so, and that was put there at the request of Universal! I think at the moment it is about 4am on the 17th in Spain, so in another 4-6 hours...
Really? Almost there.
Hang on to your hatz!
im not getting my hopes up... my heart can't take it...
One of those people with heart problems eh? Anyway, I can't prevent myself from getting my hopes up.
its so hard not to. I am so freaking excited! i predicted 19th of dec earlier in the thread... I could be pretty close.
I just listened to City of Blinding Lights and distinctly remembered how, when I first heard it, I was excited because it REMINDED me or FELT like a U2 song of old, but, I gotta tell you, tonight, it feels kinda boring, slow and unremarkable. Now, I'm listening to the (song) The Unforgettable Fire, and that still sounds exciting to me and unique and special.
So, I'm just spewing here, but I hope the new material not only feels/sounds great at the outset in this state I'm in of high anticipation, but also down the road. I really hope they put out a special album, you know, one that really sticks. It's not unheard of for a band with a long career to do that. I don't think HTDAAB is in that category of album. (My opinion, alone, I know others feel much stronger about it.)
So, in this time of nothing to do but check in on here several times a day in hopes of some new info, this is where my thoughts are. I love U2's music more than I probably should. Given everything that's going on in the world these days, it would be great to get not just a new batch of U2 songs, but a musical statement that raises the bar on what we expect and what's been done, and that gives us something else, a deeper understanding of the times, more insight on life, on who we are, a wakeup call.
Perhaps I'm asking too much. But it is Christmas time.
My regards to all of you on this forum.

Shiiiiiiiiiiit...I'll still be up. Please let that timetable be accurate.
I'm pretty sure this time around we'll get the news.
I can't imagine how crazy Interference would get when we hear the news.
Can everyone go out and get drunk or stay in and do yoga or go out and feed the homeless or stay in and get stoned?
