New album talk - album coming when fish start riding bicycles

[mama cass]

I do not want "something a bit special".

I want something that is a GODDAMNED MOTHERFUCKING MINDFUCKINGLY MONUMENTALLY MASSIVE IMPLOSION OF AWESOMENESS AND PURE FUCKING SUBLIMATION!!!!

Seriously, is that too much to ask?

 

[mama cass]

Rattle and hum anniversary is gone now why would they announce something now about an anniversary that was last week

 

[mama cass]

hell, i agree with everybody

 

[chork]

Where else you gonna put that thumb, Mama?

on my nose and waggling my fingers at you

Dammit, U2.com is like that boyfriend who is a bad boy. You know it's not going to work, but you can't help believe some amazing is coming.

The end? Broken hearts, little hopes and a lot of ice cream.

Last time we got Tiesto.. I don't mind anything but a little bit of new stuff. Really, even a riff, or something will make me happy >.<

@U2Valencia
Nuestra Info es que la noticia de mañana en @u2com NO está relacionada con el nuevo disco de #u2 #u2newalbum

If that's the truth, then screw U2.com

 

[chrissybaby]

^what does that say?

 

[chork]

^what does that say?

Roughly, tomorrow's news has fuck all to do with the new album.

 

[trojanchick99]

Translation: Our info is that tomorrow's news is not related to the new Album.

THis is completely unsurprising.

 

[BoMac]

Anyone that thinks that email is about the new album is...not too bright.

Which is why I'm surprised that Elfa was skeptical about it right from the get-go.

 

[mama cass]

c'mon guys, it's u2.com - they will be the LAST ones to announce the new album

 

[Niceman]

You guys are so bitter! LOL

It may be a new single. It may be the modern equivalent of live from K-Mart. Maybe not, but......maybe!

 

[chork]

Not bitter--experienced.

 

[Niceman]

Not bitter--experienced.

Then be like Blake and sing a Song of Experience! It's almost like a Song of Ascent.

Look, U2 has to release an album sometime, and it will be sometime soon. Tomorrow would be a great time to take the first step to a surprise 2013 release. We just don't know.

My sources now confirm that they will provide the rest of An San Suu Kyi's body as a cardboard cutout for those that kept their masks from the 360 tour!

...FINALLY!!!!

Maybe it is a new single? NME released an article today yesterday where Adam said the group is targeting an album by the end of November:

U2 aim to finish work on new album in November | News | NME.COM

Edit: Ok, this actually came out yesterday, so maybe it's old news by now.

My guess; it's the lovetown-show from Sydney to download, just One song. It's the preview to the new subscription*gift, which is a dvd with the whole broadcasted show. I hope for such a gift!

 

[macawaca]

Also the orange colour of the font is the same as that used on Rattle and Hum, yes?

A pro-shot DVD of a Lovetown show would have me more excited than a new album.

And I'm only half kidding.

Yes....

Wait... What?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

This will be a current day recording of a Rattle and Hum song, and it will feature a picture of the band dressed in Rattle and Hum style outfits, taken on a NYC rooftop as the cover.

Upon its release, interference will suffer a massive simultaneous stroke.

 

[jeevey]

I would actually like that quite a bit. I also like the idea of happy little U2 munchkins all over the globe.

 

[purpleoscar]

The announcement will be a new instagram site with pictures of Edge's new cat Samson:

We'll be lucky to get anything from Bono on the Stroumboulopoulos show.

Well, ok, hmm...

U2.com Email Promises Members 'Something a Bit Special'

As reported in our forum, this may have something to do with the upcoming film, Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom. If you click the link in the email, you'll end up on a page with a long URL that includes "MandelaTraler." There's no U2 involvement in the film that we're aware of, so the "something a bit special" might be news that U2 are involved in some way ... or it could just be an exclusive trailer for U2 fans ... or it could be nothing about the film whatsoever. Your guess is as good as ours.

Another use for the alternate version of Breathe?
