U2 Now Releasing New Album In 2009

September 4th, 2008

U2 have pushed their new album’s release date to 2009, opting to keep recording until they’ve made they’re best ever album, with Bono saying, “This is our chance for us to defy gravity once again.”

The band are making the follow up to their massively successful ‘How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb’ album writing on their website, “‘It’s been fun, it’s been maddening… there have been injuries and recoveries, no babies born that I know of, but this one is nearly ready for the new year of 2009.

“We know we have to emerge soon but we also know that people don’t want another U2 album unless it is our best ever album. It has to be our most innovative, our most challenging… or what’s the point ?”

Bono continues, “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.”
