U2 - No Line On The Horizon (CD 2009)

Das in Deutschland am 20. Februar 2009 veröffentlichte Album der irischen Rockband U2 ist ein weiterer Meilenstein in der bisher 33jährigen Bandgeschichte! Bono, The Edge, Larry Mullen Junior und Adam Clayton haben mit den 11 Songs auf diesem Album erneut bewiesen, daß sie zu den ganz Großen gehören!
Absolut hörenswert, ein Muß für alle U2-Fans!!!

U2 are one of those bands that have such a fan base so as to merit my review irrelevant, for no matter what I or anyone else says it will not make any difference to the fact that YOU ARE GOING TO BUY THIS. I wouldn't worry too much if I were you because, in short, this album is superb. More of a "complete" album I would say than some of their recent albums, and certainly ticking all the boxes that make U2 what they are - one of the world's greatest bands. No, no, deny it all you want, but U2 are monumental for what they do, and only a fool would discriminate them for their success.

Moving away from the format of single after single of tap-your-feet-along-to-the-beat-please kind of music, U2 have produced a wonderfully vibrant collection of songs that create a whole - rather then the odd stand out track surrounded by misplaced jargon. It's not that U2's recent releases have been poor; it's just that they weren't quite up to the standard of previous classics Achtung Baby and The Joshua Tree to name but a couple. The songs here fade from one to the next with graceful precedence, and the album as a whole is a joy to listen to. By no means perfect, however, I did find the production a little heavy at times - probably just my own personal opinion (I have a thing for raw production), but not surprising given Brian Eno's presence at the helm of production, as well as others.

This is an album that will not disappoint, whether you like U2's heavier stuff or their more fragile pensive stuff, it's all here together in one perfectly arranged slice of delight that flows from the disc to your brain with delirious brilliance. I can't recommend it enough - but I doubt I really have to: you will buy this.

Excellent delivery without any problems.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great CD arrived very promptly Love it put it straight on my mobile so I can listen to it evem more !!!!!!!!!!!!

i have heard of this band years ago but never got a chance to get to a concert of theirs, when i did i understood i need to get their new CD so i did and it's excellent! hope others buy as well

U2 have always been masters of releasing tunes that sound current, but still sound like them! Some albums have been a little below par, but No Line On The Horizon isn't one of them. Back to their best and filling stadiums across the world (Wembley, 15th August, awesome!). If you've ever liked U2, go buy this album and turn up the volume; you won't regret it.
