Fuck.
Wow... they had six or seven songs finished and ready to go and they can't finish it until next year?! Incredible. I wouldn't have been surprised by a delay until late summer or fall, but 2015? That's very surprising.
It sort of jives with something I heard this week (then again, so does touring in Chile next Jan-Feb), but I just don't know how much credibility the article has. I'm not saying Billboard is wrong, but it's just anonymous Interscope sources. It just seems bizarre that they seem to think that the release date is definitively in 2015, and not at any point in Q4 2014.
That's kind of what I was thinking. If they only have a few more songs to complete an album, I don't see any reason why they wouldn't try to get it out in December when sales are higher. Unless of course they've decided to start from scratch...
Irish Democracy it is!
This is a little ridiculous, but it doesn't actually surprise me.
Maybe Dallas was right about April... April 2015.
At least they called in Epworth and Tedder instead of Lillywhite. But yeah, this is terrible. Choose to doubt the Billboard article if you want to, but this seems pretty definitive. Wow, all that press from OL and the Super Bowl wasted.
I wouldn't panic. All signs have been pointing towards a 2014 release. I don't see why U2 should wait until 2015 to release an album, that's absurd.
But as I said, all signs have been pointing towards a 2014 release and I still believe it will be that way. 2015 seems too ridiculous to be true. If anything, they might have the tour next year.
