New album in early 2011?

Australia's The Age is reporting that U2 will release a new album in early 2011, to be preceded by a single in December. Rather than the long anticipated Songs of Ascent, the new record will be a collection of tracks produced by Danger Mouse (of Gorillaz, Gnarls Barkley fame). Bono is also quoted as saying the band is additionally working on a "club-inspired album" and a record based on the Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark project, though it sounds like Larry is far from convinced on the latter.
