While I'm also disappointed, I have faith that something will be released sooner rather than later. U2 is probably tired of the badgering in the press for an album release date. I'm sure there has been some incredible stuff recorded and it will see the light of day soon. I'm hoping there will just be a quiet release online and in the marketplace. U2's incessant promoting of these albums prior to release creates an unreal expectation in the band and with the fans. How about releasing an album with no expectations and see what happens? The buzz and expectation they try to create with each release now can never be lived up to in record sales. Remember the push for Magnificent on the last album? It's a great song but what were they expecting it to do, change the world? How could a song be expected to do that? I'm not saying that I don't love their albums because I do. I love each and every one of them and I have throughout their entire career.
Hang in there people...
