U2 have revealed that they are planning to release another new album before 2009 is over.

The band described the album as a "companion" to new effort 'No Line On The Horizon', released today (March 2), and that it will be more meditative than their latest effort.

The band added that they would not be considering breaking from the traditional cycle of record releases in the style of Radiohead.

"My instinct is to stick with the record guys," guitarist The Edge told the New York Times. "They have to sell your records or sell the downloads, whatever it ends up being.

"To do that, first of all you've got to love and understand the music, and right now I'm not seeing any group that rivals the record labels on that front."

Frontman Bono added: "I'm interested in commerce. The excuse for bigness is that songs demand to be heard if they're any good. And without the kind of momentum of being in a big rock 'n roll band, you won't get your songs heard."

The older albums mentioned are of course great (apart from Pop, wtf?!) . Their recent stuff is pure shite and Bono and the Edge are in the top 10 biggest bellends in the entire world. The fact they are Irish means nothing. A bellend is a bellend, no matter where they were born.

I dont think English people have any dislike for the Irish anymore. I just dont see that at all.

Pop is a deadly little record! "If you wear that velvet dress" and "Wake up dead man" are on there. Both top notch tracks.
