Yes, I agree with you all. Not so long ago I wrote an entry in my website talking exactly that SoA was probably dead. I really think that the album was almost finished... I mean, Paul McGuinness was talked like the album was in his finished touches.
And even earlier this year Larry talked about two albums being released ( but again, even Larry is in a low position now, haha). We all know that U2 are creatures of habits. That was said numerous times, and it's true.
Until now, I guess. I only witnessed the birth of two albums (HTDAAB and NLOTH), but I don't remember neither being like this. Even with NLOTH being delayed, we knew that a new album was going to be released soon. There was a hype about that, back then, we knew much more than we do now about this one (couldn't resist)....
So, what I'm saying that I think things are completely different this time. We all knew that U2 was working in three/four different albums, one was released. I think SoA (or any variation of that one) is still going to see daylight, maybe b-side? Deluxe edition with two albuns? I really don't know....
