It's been 5 long years since U2 released their last album but the dry spell is almost over. The Irish rockers have named their new album ‘No Line On The Horizon’ and have scheduled March 2, 2009, as its drop date.
The band (Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr.) pushed back the release date from November to March to make it right, says the Irish Independent. They wanted it to be “our best album ever… or what’s the point?”
“It sounds like a U2 album but it doesn’t sound like anything we’ve done before and it doesn’t really sound like anything that’s happening at the moment,” The Edge recently told Mojo magazine.
The rockers had enough material to release the album this year, but members of U2 said in September they wanted to keep working on more songs.
‘No Line On The Horizon’ and will be the follow up to 2004’s Grammy winning album ‘How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb’, which sold over nine million copies worldwide.
The band will also be touring in 2009 to promote 'Horizon,' but nothing has been announced yet.
