Bono reported in to fansite u2.com with a run down on the new record. Sorry fans, you’ll have to wait until early 2009 to hear the songs. The band has been writing and recording their follow-up to How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb since last year. Apparently, U2 has foun their creative spark in the south of France and have recorded over 50 songs. And they dont plan on stopping until they use it all up. Bono stated that with the new record the band plans to “defy gravity once again” causing one to wonder if the recording overload will indeed produce hits or if this new record and the delay is a front for lack of creativity? I guess we’ll just have to wait and see!
