In the seventeen years (and counting) that I have been a fan of U2 I have noticed that all U2 fans do not stand united with regards to the style of music they enjoy to hear from U2. Allow me to elaborate, U2 music can fall into two different categories (and these categories have subtext and layers), rock and roll is the first category and outlandish experimentation is the second category. It is then a safe assumption to claim that there are two different types of U2 fans the ones that prefer straight … more

Pros: "Magnificent," "Stand Up Comedy," "Breathe" Cons: Studio magic overwhelming at times The Bottom Line: Please, no more war songs told from the soldier's point of view. At this point, the praise for any new U2 record being their best since the legendary Achtung Baby album is redundant. It's been done to death. First they released Zooropa, which was their best since Achtung Baby mainly because it couldn't possibly be false. … more

This new album by U2 has some good songs and some bad ones. My favorite track is the beautiful track "I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight". This song is a reminder that everyone needs to cut loose to stay sane in the world today. My other favorite song is "Get On Your Boots". This song pumps me up and really rocks. "Magnificent" is a love song with a good beat. The Edge does a superb job playing the guitar as usual. The title track is very engaging and upbeat. Bono's vocals are very strong … more

Title: No Line On The Horizon Band: U2 Producer: Brian Eno, Daniel Lanois Label: Interscope Parental Advisory: No If You Can Only Buy One Song Make It: No Line On The Horizon Unlike most music lovers I'm only an average U2 fan. Oh don't get me wrong: They write great music, but it's not like I've been a loyal fan for their whole career or anything. It's only fairly recently I've gotten into their material, and even then … more

Standard U2 brilliance. Way above average cd, compared to the rest of the world, but only slightly above average in U2-land. It's no "Joshua Tree," but that was just amazing kizmit coming together. NLOTH is still a great cd, though I don't see any "stand-outs" right off-- maybe I need to get back after I listen to it a while. It will be interesting to see what floats to the top of popularity. Powerful music - they are just the kings of the music world. Worth a listen.

U2 definitely cares what listeners think of their albums--based on listener reactions, the band corrected "Rattle and Hum" with "Achtung Baby" and "Pop" with "All That You Can't Leave Behind." "No Line on the Horizon" corrects the too-close-to-home "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb" by leaving home and then setting up on Mars. Accusations that the result is too airy or hollow miss the point: just as "Achtung Baby" arose from the nowhere-bound aggresso-alienation of the Nineties, "No Line on the Horizon" … more

I've been looking forward to the release of U2's latest album since I first listened to their last album, HOW TO DISMANTLE AN ATOMIC BOMB, about five years ago. U2 is one of the few rock bands that is able to make music that is not only good to listen to, but that is full of spiritual and philosophical meaning and I enjoy most everything of theirs that I've heard. After having purchased the album and listening to it several times, I admit that I'm a bit disappointed by NO … more
