No Line On The Horizon is just one of two U2 albums this year.
U2 have announced they will release another album before the end of 2009.Frontman Bono said it would be a 'companion' to No Line On The Horizon, which was released in the UK yesterday (2.2.09).
And he added that the as-yet-untitled album, which could be in shops by November, would be a 'more meditative and processional tone'.
But guitarist The Edge said they would not be considering breaking from the traditional cycle of record releases.
He said: "My instinct is to stick with the record guys. 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."
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."
