U2 Will Go Out Later
U2 is postponing the release of their new album due to the lack of two songs that should be on it, said New Musical Express. What actually had happened to them and why this is the only reason not to release it? Originally, the release of their 12th album was planned on November 14, but in September musicians have announced the fact that everything will be going out later – approximately in the beginning of 2009. At the same time the band’s leader Bono kept on saying that they have up to 50/60 new songs. However, they still don’t have those two additional songs to make the new release moving on. Most likely the new album will be called “No Line On The Horizon”, and it’s being produced by Brian Eno, Daniel Lanois, including Steve Lillywhite. Also U2 was co-working with the infamous Rick Rubin, but as the band’s guitarist The Edge told the press everything what was made together with him is now thrown away and will not appear on the album. “He [Rick] gave us great advice as much as anything. His whole thing is, ‘Don’t go near the studio until you know exactly what you want to do’, which of course, is the opposite of how we usually work.”
The previous U2 album “How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb” was released in 2004.
