The release of the new U2 album, which was originally set for the fall, is now being pushed back to the beginning of 2009, because the group is still writing and recording new material, reports Billboard.com.
Bono explained, "I thought a while back we might have the album wrapped by now, but why come up above ground now if there’s more priceless stuff to be found?"
The next album follows their last disc, How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, released in 2004.
