I don't think this album will come out until 2011
Not good news if you want U2 to continue 'trying' to be experimental:
From Hotpress:
"We've got some stuff, more abstract stuff that we could put together as a release; but right now what's really intriguing me is plain old fashioned song writing."
Songs of Ascent RIP...
I don't think this album will come out until 2011
all this good news coming in now the edge has ruined it for me lol jk
but i really hope they release songs of ascent in some form i liked the idea, it sounded like a new style for u2 in the sense that it would be an entire album of nightime music instead of 1 or 2 songs like that plus i liked the direction they were heading with nloth - i hope they dont back down and release an album of crazy tonights and elevations -
Bono and McGuiness comments on summer SOA are more recent. Who knows when Hotpress did this interview.
Someone already quoted it, but I feel the need to equally share my approbationall this good news coming in now the Edge has ruined it for me lol jk

this is exactly what i saw coming. i had a feeling The Edge would say something to pull the excitement back a little. i still feel pretty good about our chances. i realize that Paul McG was wrong about the NLOTH release date, but i'm not overly concerned. June 2010 seems like the most logical date for the next album. the common theme has been that the band wants to get the album out in time. it'll happen folks. don't worry.
To be honest I don't believe Edge's quotes mean that there won't be an album in June.
I just think it will be full of abstract songs next to Elevation type songs which will be a shame IMO.
i like Elevation, so that wouldn't bother me.
Thank you! I love U!i like Elevation, so that wouldn't bother me.

I'm a little concerned that it will be of Vertigo type songs next to Elevation type songs. "Good old-fashioned songwriting" has a tendency to be the death of art with U2. The thing is, they usually overdevelop their "good old-fashioned songwriting", as we saw with Bomb... but if the album comes out in June, they won't really have time to. So maybe we'll see a bunch of Native Sons... I know a lot of people would like that, but, from an entirely personal standpoint of preference... I hope not.

All I want is a new album! I don't care if it'll be full of Vertigo, Elevation, Crazy, SUC, Boots type songs.
Rattle and Hum and JT were "good old-fashioned songwriting"...
R&H is my least favorite U2 album, and JT is middle-lower tier.
I know this is an unpopular view... still, it's mine.
This interview was carried out mid-December so there's hardly any difference:
