I will buy it anyway. "I don't mean to sound gay or nothing, but U2 is a pretty sweet band."

I agree. I'm not the biggest U2 fan, but if the material does end up on the internet, I won't listen to it.
That's two years of hard work from a reputable band.
If it was stolen, whoever stole it is gonna fry pretty hard if arrested. If a substantial reward is issued, probably won't take long for someone to narc on them.

Haven't they had some things stolen in the past? I seem to remember something about (Bono, maybe?) losing a briefcase with a bunch of stuff in it.

I'm not sure that's entirely true. I really enjoyed some of their earlier work (Zooropa and Achtung Baby!, namely).

I dig U2. Solid songwriting, interesting sound, and Adam Clayton is perfect. I think these guys epitomize the dream of forming a rock band; when they met, none of them could even play. Now they are quazillionaires. Go them.
