U2's Interestingly Named Album Due In November
LetÃcia Marote

U2's new album may not have leaked onto the Internet yet, but the band
are sure getting a kick out of slowly leaking details about the album
and its release. No title has been issued for the disc just yet, but
Billboard.com are reporting that the follow-up to All That You Can't
Leave Behind will hit North American stores on November 23. The album
will be released in international markets the previous day.
As for the album's title, the band are keeping quiet, but author Neil
McCormick, who is close friends with the band offered some cryptic
comments to Ireland's Hot Press Magazine. McCormick said the disc had
"an interesting title, and interesting philosophical idea as a title
and quite a difficult title."
We do know, however, that the first single from the disc will be a song
called "Vertigo." "Vertigo" will pop up on radio and video television
next month. And, for countries that actually buy commercial singles,
the song will be released in record stores on November 8.
U2 have already managed to drum up a lot of hype for the new album,
partially due to the four year gap since the release of their last
album. That hype was heightened when the band announced that a personal
advance copy of the album was stolen from a recent photo shoot in
France. The world held its breath to see if the album's content would
surface online, but thus far it seems like the disc was simply lost or
taken by a thief with poor technical skills.
