Those of us who have been waiting for a U2 album in October 2008 will have to wait more patiently still.According to some sources the disc will now be released in the early stages of 2009, rather than over the holiday season, which was the original plan. U2 has written fifty to sixty tacks worth of material as they worked on this project.
“We’ve hit a rich songwriting vein and we don’t want to stop...I thought a while back we might have the album wrapped by now, but why come up above ground now if there's more priceless stuff to be found?," Bono writes on U2.com

Fans surely don´t want them to stop!!!
Bono goes on:
"The last two records were very personal, with a kind of three piece at their heart, the primary colors of rock -- bass, guitars and drum," he says. "But what we're about now is of the same order as the transition that took us from 'The Joshua Tree' to 'Achtung Baby.'"
Wow!!! That certainly WAS a transition! If it´s going to be as good as Achtung I guess we can wait for a while, can´t we?
And he concludes:
"I'm always the one who underestimates how easy it is to simply 'put out the songs now.' If it was just up to me they'd be out already!.But early next year people will be able to start hearing what we've been doing. We want 2009 to be our year, so we're going to start making an impression very early on."
So let´s wait for a new album that according to a source who has heard several of the works-in-progress describes them as "amazing and a little out there. I hope they don't change anything."
I hope so too!!!
