This is from today's Music News of The World at the Addicted to Noise site :

Is That The New U2 Album Arriving Tuesday June 11? They don't look like U2. Addicted To Noise staff writer Gil Kaufman writes: Contrary to previous reports, it now appears you might not have to wait until the fall to hear that rockin' new U2 album. In fact, sweet relief is available as early as next Tuesday, June 11.

As promised, a return to their moodier, rocking roots, the new collection, with songs like the driving, psychedelic "Song for a Dead Girl," the swirling, aptly named "Lovely Meander" and the punky, "Bullet the Blue Sky"--like"Silence at the Bottom of the Well," is a trippy 15-song journey that mixes dreamy, spiritual, spoken-word passages and acoustic and electric-based rock in a way not heard since The Joshua Tree.

All right, you caught me, I'm really talking about the debut by Three Fish, the side project from Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament, which just sounds a lot like old U2 to these ears, but with Bono and the boys drifting further off into the nylon, leather and skinny cigar nether world, maybe that's not so bad. Laced with urgent, Edge-like guitar jams like "All Messed Up" and the decidedly Bonoesque vocals of Robi Robb, not to mention his actorly manifestations on the jazzy, acoustic guitar-driven Jelaluddin Rumi poem fragments that pepper the CD, this disc is surprisingly removed from the angst rock of PJ.

The fable of the Three Fish, inspired by the writings of the thirteenth century spiritual teacher Rumi, centers around the Stupid Fish, the Half-Intelligent Fish and the Intelligent Fish, but, so far, the trio haven't fessed up to which one is which. Ament did tell the L. A. Times the other day that doing the Three Fish thing with his buddy is a nice break from the stress and strain of being in Pearl Jam. "Pearl Jam's a huge, big machine, bigger than any of us," said Ament. "Sometimes you can lose yourself in that. I was just getting lost in [Pearl Jam]." Ament confirmed what ATN has previously reported: that the new Pearl Jam album is complete.

It will be released in September. Three Fish vocalist Robbi Robb calls the new PJ album, "a beautiful record--very tender, more like the first album in its sensitivity."
