Any info on U2 CD in 04?
Has anyone heard anything about a new U2 album in 04? On my way to work today the radio station said they had info for U2 fans and that U2 would be releasing a new album titled "Solar" on March 9th 2004. I haven't been able to find any info on this to back it up. Anyone heard anything?

Last thing I heard was late February. But we all know how easily these dates can be pushed back. For what its worth, Bono and Edge both have said this is their best effort to date.

Still, looking forward to the new album and won't make the mistake again of missing them on tour.

It's great to hear how excited they are about the new album, especially the comments about the Edge doing the best guitar work of his life - and yes, even Edge said recently after ATYCLB that he did not think he played guitar that well the last couple of albums... (what's he been smoking?)

Actually, I'm looking forward to hearing Chris Thomas' (Sex Pistols, INXS, Roxy Music, Pretenders) production on the album. I think he will bring them something new...

I'm glad they are going new directions with their music.

As for the new album, I have heard q1 '04 as well and there definitely will be a tour. Unfortunately all we're getting are "teasers" from our radio folks because, well, they don't really know enough yet, either.

Hi Cecilia,
I've heard there will be a new U2 single within the next two weeks, and a new album released in March.
Any truth to either?

Here's a quote from Bono that was on live television last night:
"Our next album will be so f*#king brilliant that all you motherf*#kers out there will want to f*#k the little hole in the middle of the f*#kng CD.....f*#k!"

(02-09-2004) Steve Lillywhite To Produce Next U2 Album - Billboard *
Steve Lillywhite To Produce Next U2 Album
Mercury U.K. joint managing director Steve Lillywhite has left his role with the label to return to his roots in record production. Lillywhite tells Billboard.biz he will take no time off and will begin producing an album by U2 next week. The as-yet-untitled set is due from Interscope/Island later this year.
"It's the first time I'll have gone in to actually start a record with them in 20 years," says Lillywhite. "I worked on 'The Joshua Tree,' 'Achtung Baby' and 'All That You Can't Leave Behind,' but this will be the first time I've really set up the mikes and done everything for a long time."
Lillywhite also oversaw the band's first two albums, 1980's "Boy" and 1981's "October." He adds, "I've heard some great songs. The Edge is playing some really great guitar."
The new U2 album will be the follow-up to 2000's "All That You Can't Leave Behind," which debuted at No. 3 on The Billboard 200 and has sold 4.1 million copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan. The set was named best rock album at the 2001 Grammys and placed three tracks in the top-10 of Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks airplay chart: "Beautiful Day" (No. 5), "Elevation" (No. 8) and "Walk On" (No. 10).
Lillywhite, one of Britain's top rock producers, has a list of credits that includes the Rolling Stones, Talking Heads, Peter Gabriel, Morrissey and the Dave Matthews Band. In 2002, he was brought to Universal U.K. by chairman/CEO Lucian Grainge.
"I've had two great years, and I've loved a lot of it," says Lillywhite, "but really I wasn't that made out for getting up early in the morning. That's 25 years of producing records. I got more and more of an urge to be in the studio, so Lucian and I had a chat and decided it was best that I return to that."
