State of new album

Wirelings:
I know I'm not the only one wondering aloud...
Does the release of the Rushdie/U2 song on Apr. 23 mean the new album is
released shortly thereafter???Or will they be working on it for the rest
of the year??

I need info!!
I planned on going over to Hanover Quay studios in May in hopes of
catching a glimpse, so I was banking that they'd be taking their sweet
time with the new tracks. Looks like they are way ahead of schedule, if
this is any indication.
Oh well.

Thanks all,
John Williams
