It really takes awhile for the fan to understand that this is not just another U2 release which should sound exactly like their previous albums. Ever since "Achtung Baby", each album is a different experience. Some were well succeeded ("All That You Can Leave Behind" and "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb") and other were disastrous ("Zooropa" for the most part and "Pop" on its entirety). What can be told about "No Line On The Horizon" is that such an album represents a band which at this point has acquired enough maturity to neither sound as rebellious as they were in the beginning of their career nor foolish as they were in their attempts to dance music in mid 90s, period which was really a low point in their path. This is a purely mature, adult rock release. It does not attempt to establish new arena rock anthems such as "I Will Follow", "New Year's Day" or "Sunday Bloody Sunday" or profound ballads like "With or Without You". Times like these don't come back. Accepting the album and the band for what it is, and not for what they were, is a good and wise thing to do. In general, the album is very good, except for two specific tracks I did not like personally: "Get On Your Boots" and "Cedars of Lebanon". Thank God things go for a change sometimes.Read full review
Great album by U2, recommended for anyone who likes U2!
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: New
Always been a U2 fan so maybe a little partial. But the new disc is fantastic! The tracks really grow on you the more you listen to it.
A Classic 5 star effort ranking with Achtung Baby and Joshua Tree as one of their best. Corbin download is a nice bonus.
