Yeah, but half or even most of those songs may not even make the cut for the next record. U2 records songs all the time. Even on the road during soundcheck. Most of them never make the cut or they take an idea from one and morph it into something else. But even that takes them alot of time.
I can see Rubin maybe coming in at the end and possibly doing some sort of co producer thing. My guess would be that they have someone assisting them in the studio up until that point. Flood? But he is an engineer also.
If we're just talking about ideas, U2 could have countless ideas from previous sessions lying around. I just meant 5-6 good songs they're assuming are ready to be recorded.
Now, if we factor in that what U2 considers a completed song may not be what we do and vise-versa, all bets are off.
