New U2 Album May 2011 - Title: TBD
U2 manager Paul McGuinness has reiterated that U2 is planning to have a new album out in May, in time for the North American leg of the U2 360 tour. Speaking during the Midem music conference in Cannes, McGuinness says the new album is "largely completed" and the band is working in its southern France studio to put the "finishing touch" on the record. McGuinness says this album will be the one that Brian Burton, AKA Danger Mouse, is producing. But he says it's "unlikely" that the album will be called "Songs Of Ascent" -- the title that Bono originally used to refer to what was expected to be an album of songs leftover from the No Line On The Horizon sessions. Again, we get this news from our friends at U2tour.de, who point to the report on German site MediaBiz. Here's the original in German, and here's a Google translation in English. As we reported yesterday, a new U2 album is currently listed on Amazon Germany with a May 27 release date. |

That first song could be by Bon Jovi.

Surprised they are going with a late spring release again, they were dissapointed in the last albums sales. U2 seems to do better with fall/winter releases, but the tie in with the 2nd leg of the tour does make sense.

I enjoyed the last album, which was a huge shock to me, but I'm still wary of any new U2 material.

Maybe they're hoping this material will get people to forget the Spider-Man debacle.
