Did Bono actually say the album would be done in 2 months?
That's what NME reports:
Bono: 'U2 are on the verge of irrelevance' | News | NME.COM
He did say in a couple of months but then he finshed his sentence with " its finshed when its finshed"
I'm depressed - not even a name yet for the album
Very often, in art, titles are the last thing you find, and working titles can change all the time, so the absence of a title (IF even true) is not necessarily something to worry about.
The good thing is journalists will stop saying the name of the new album is "10 reasons to exist".

i loved the interview! (but Zane was irritating at the end)
Zane Lowe is a pretentious wanker, IMO. I dislike him quite a lot, and I actually think the band don't like him very much either, but see him as an important tool they can't afford to ignore.

Does this contrast with anything that you've heard?
Yes, as mentioned before
GG-winner Daniel Lanois talks U2, Peter Gabriel – and hockey - The Globe and MailI don't know if this has been mentioned, but I read on another forum that Daniel Lanois gave a new interview and said he isn't involved in the new U2 record and he's pretty happy about it because it's such a tough job working with U2, they take years and years for an album. He said he'll have a whiskey with Danger Mouse when it's all done.
Sorry, can't find the interview now but maybe someone else can.
Regarding the potential bringing in of new producers?
No. In regards to release date. But it's recently been clarified that he said "a couple" which is less specific than NME'a literal 2 month interpretation. A literal 2 months would contrast.
I didn't pay attention to the producer stuff, I'll need to read again. But as you'll probably recall I did call that (second guessing, bringing in new production) some time ago..
It would not surprise me at all if they were still tweaking these songs, if not completely reworking some of them or writing/recording "new" ones at this stage. I don't remember reading anywhere (at least anywhere reliable) that the record was finished. Fans here (and elsewhere) just assumed (hoped) it was done, so any information which contradicts this creates cognitive dissonance, and must therefore be discarded. The same thing happened a while back with the talk of how the never-announced record was somehow "delayed".
But it makes perfect sense that they're still working on this thing, and in fact it would be completely consistent with their modus operandi on previous releases.
Well, technically, "a couple" literally means "two". But I suppose that that word is sometimes used to mean "two or more".
