'No Line On The Horizon' by U2 I think is going to be there biggest and best album yet! I've listened to the whole song 'Get on your boots' and love it. This song has a great video clip too. So far I rate this album as number 1.

Moment Of Surrender is the best song they've done in ages. Reminds me of Blue Room [Passengers].
The title track and Unknown Caller are also good. I also like FEZ and Cedars of Lebanon.
my least favourite track is Magnificent. The lyrics are soooo bad!
Overall, it does seem quite disjointed and as though some songs were screw-drivered into position by Eno/Lanois.
5 yrs in the making. Recorded in 4 countries. No wonder it sounds disjointed in places.

I was a huge u2 fan. Loved all their previous albums and thought How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb was mind blowing.
But I hate this new album, and I am very disappointed. It is boring, it is slow, many lyrics sound familiar ....

U2 songs always take a few listens to really sink in.
On first listen, about 7 or 8 tracks from NLOTH sound really good. Can't wait to hear them a few more times. Time will tell.

I reckon it's an enormous album. I love it.
Sounds like a band very comfortable with where they are, and very damn good at what they do!
Early favourites for me are Magnificent, Crazy and Stand Up Comedy. Hit written all over it - they have nailed it again!

Same as all the other rubbish these guys produce.
Yes they have one or two good songs but lets move on......
This is boring......

Great album, got a touch of Achtung Baby and you can see how lillywhite and lanois have an influence, not since Unforgettable Fire album.. stand up comedy gonna be a monster hit, and the opening song has a 'Fly' feel to it, brilliant.. they're back to their best.. bring on the tour!

Superb album. Sonically magnificent. Lyrically thought provoking. Confirms there status as the greatest band of the last half century.

Loved it. No Line On The Horizon (song) really sets the tone for the rest of the album.
The solo at the end of Unknown Caller is one of the magic moments on a U2 disc.
