My understanding is that -aside from wishful thinking in the main album forum - there is absolutely nothing whatsoever going on.
So Gabe and Mikal don't have insider info? My life has been turned upside down.

It's astonishing how willing a lot of fans are to believe that some rando like chrisedge would have inside information. That said, it is shitty to troll an entire forum with false information. One should be banned for that shit.
Wait, what? "Rando"? If you've listened to a U2 bootleg you've probably heard stuff by Chrisedge - and sharebear. They are both very well known members of the taping community and two people I consider very credible.
That may be so, but bootlegging has no implicit connection to official sources.
Every album cycle we get this same drama. Someone comes in claiming to have a reputable tip. It invariably turns out to be bullshit, and when people ask for clarification, the original poster either:
A) Feigns outage at having their credibility questioned
or
B) Claims they can't reveal the source because then they would never be trusted with info again.
These are both incredibly convenient deflections.
You're a historian, right? You would never trust that kind of source in your research.

Chrisedge is a good egg.
The next album could be Bono covering Michelle Branch and most of the forum would love it because it's new and says U2 on the package.
Can we do some shuttlecock polling?
Last Classic Album: All That You Can't Leave Behind
Last Great Album: No Line On The Horizon
Last Classic Song: City Of Blinding Lights
Recent Great Songs (Ordinary Love-onward): California
Not even sure I understand what "classic" means.
Either way, ATYCLB ain't it.
But I think if I had genuine inside info, I wouldn't share it. I hate that coy "insider" bullshit anyway, and besides, I'd like to be trusted by my sources to not blab all over the internet
