The Biggest Band in The Worldâ„¢ has begun concerted work on a follow-up to its 2004 album How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb. Could it possibly match its predecessor in the portentous title stakes?

Billboard.com reported U2 has entered a Dublin studio with regular collaborators Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois.

“We’re going to try and break new sonic ground and deliver a masterpiece,” Lanois told the website. “The sleeves are rolled up. Bono is all charged up with a lyrical angle.”

Lanois also confirmed the band could produce two albums worth of music at the rate it’s going.

“There’s so much material. When you get Eno and I and those guys in the room, before lunch there’s like eight things.

“We’ve had some exciting beginnings via jam sessions. Now we will pick our favorite beginnings and say, ‘OK, that’s a lovely springboard. Now what are we trying to say?’ The springboards are sometimes melodic, sometimes riff-based, but I can assure you they are exciting.”
