U2 - No Line On The Horizon
33 not out - davemalone69
33 years their 12th studio album has Larry pounding feverously on the drums and the edge's guitar wildly distorted. Magnificent is the highlight of the album - Bono's singing is almost hushed at times and the lyrics though simple are so suitable to this song. The album is not of the same quality of its 2 predecessors but enjoyable all the same

Good album but The Edge lets this down. - tiny_spark
This album was disappointing compared to How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb and All That You Can't Leave Behind. Although I though the tracks 'White As Snow', 'Breathe' and 'Magnificent' really were... MORE

I like it. - oisin
I have never liked U2 and their cod rock but I like this album a lot as it is both melodic and understated and for the first time does something for me. MORE

This album sounds like the cover looks... - pauljeremiah
...monotone and lifeless. That pretty sums up this U2 album. I wasn't in love with U2's previous album, "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb", but there were several tracks on it that I really... MORE

Not as Good as I expected - jennith
One thing I have always admired about U2 is they never rest on their laurels and always take chances and change their style rather than just plod along with the same old stuff.Sometimes it is... MORE

U2 have entered a new era - Maky
The first single feels slightly used up and not catchy at all, but it's sound isn't a good representative of the album at all. No Line on the Horizon offers some slow, perhaps not enough melodic... MORE

Not Quite Magnificent - SeanS
After the cooly recieved (by their standards) 'Pop' U2 went back to basics.The electronic experiments and giant lemons were shelved and back came the soaring anthems and emotive ballads.'How to... MORE

Retirement beckons - foz_e_bear
This album, while a grand piece of music brings nothing new to the U2 discography. They seem to have lost their creativity, and Bono must have asked a local child to write the lyrics! Just listen to... MORE

New U2 - Patience is advised, a real grower - Cam
