Adam Clayton  

Adam Clayton let some hints slip while on Irish station 98 FM’s Dermot and Dave show.
“We are still at it. We hope to have it finished very, very soon. And
it will be out, oh . . . sometime early next year,” Clayton said. “But
it’s a very exciting bunch of songs right at the moment . . . it’s just
about to be finished, so it’s hard to know which way they’ll go.

Pretty much what we heard was that Adam and the boys are back in Dublin working in the studio on 12 songs to get them finished by the end of November so that everyone can go on holiday and that we can expect a new U2 album early next year.
