Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

If you don’t already know what to expect from U2’s twelfth studio album then you’re either a goldfish with Alzheimer’s or newborn, and if that’s the case then there are probably much better places for you to start than No Line On The Horizon. However, for the rest of us this is everything it should be, even if it’s nothing you wouldn’t expect. The lead in single "Get On Your Boots" might have forgotten to pack a chorus and instead crammed in a bewildering mash of Nancy Sinatra, Cameo’s "Word Up" and Led Zeppelin in an effort to reignite the pop art dervishes in them that time washed down the creek, but it does actually get more singularly feisty with every listen. "Stand Up Comedy" is equally absurd ("Stand" by REM/"Love Spreads" by The Stone Roses/generic Red Hot Chilli Peppers in a light funk sandwich), but the album’s not all about them trying to prove their creative audacity. The title track vibrates with the mild threat of modernity and a chest-beating, loud-hailer bravado, "Moment Of Surrender" allows Bono to shed some passion over the measured, subdued backdrop and the triple of "Unknown Caller", "I’ll Go Crazy If I Don’t Go Crazy Tonight" and "Magnificent" make no bones about being classic U2, ringing chimes reverberating from The Edge’s guitar like endlessly reproducing embryos under the microscope; the kind of stuff that professional obsessives The Killers would, you know, kill for.--James Berry


CD Description

No Line On The Horizon is U2's twelfth studio album, and follows the massive success of 2004's How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb. The first single from the album, "Get On Your Boots", may be an all-out rocker akin to previous successes like "Vertigo", but the remainder of the album sees the band diversifying in ways similar to their Zooropa days. It is inescapably a U2 album, though, so Bono's vocals still speak of injustices personal and global, and The Edge's guitar work continues to be both feathery and metallic in equal dose. As far as continuing the band's lengthy career goes, No Line On The Horizon is simultaneously a crowd-pleaser and musical step forward.

This standard CD version includes No Line On The Horizon in a jewel case, along with a 24 page booklet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magnificent Anthemic Album!, 26 April 2009
By Martin A Hogan "Marty From SF" (San Francisco, CA. (Hercules)) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
U2's twelfth album brings this Irish phenomenon into a more complex and mature state in years. Its no wonder they took over David Letterman's show for a week as the only musical guest. With lots of welcome help from Brian Eno (ambience and edge) and Danny Lanois (unique guitar work), the band forges ahead on every track with a driving force that sucks you in.

Every cut is fantastic, but some standouts must be mentioned. "No Line On The Horizon" drives full throttle with The Edge creating a echo-like quality to his guitar and Adam Clayton leading with an even and forceful rhythm. "Magnificent" carries forth with several combinations of simple but effective riffs and drummer Larry Mullen Jr. and Adam Clayton bounce that beat along with Bono giving one of the more inventive vocals on the album. In fact, "Magnificent" is almost anthemic in its force. You can hear Eno's eerie ambient contribution on "Moment of Surrender" and that mood is carried throughout with Bono declaring, "I've been in every black hole" backed with a magical keyboard. "Get On Your Boots" is an excellent hard rocker with U2 going at it with hints of songs past. "FEZ-Being Born" and "White as Snow" show a strong influence by Brian Eno right from the start and U2 takes it and runs with it. In fact, Eno's signature is on every track. Finally, "Cedars of Lebanon" is a fine finishing track with clever percussion mixed with a quietly moody guitar and Bono spilling forth with some dark lyrics.

Released in five different packages, this is one of U2's greatest compliments and it will be interesting to see how many hits will end up being released. Every track is that good.

4.0 out of 5 stars No Line on the Horizon, 24 Feb 2009
By Mr. J. C. Hull (Hereford, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: No Line On The Horizon (Ltd Edition Digi Pack) (Audio CD)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars U2 show Coldplay how a great rock album should be done!, 27 May 2009
By Dragonlord (Cornwall) - See all my reviews
As I felt Coldpalys last ablum was far to over produced and a bit naff compared to their other great ablums before it. Now U2 have fairly recently given us the most excellent All That You Can't Leave Behind and How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb. You might thing they can't get any better and you would be wrong because No Line On The Horizon overall is their best work since the ground breaking Joshua Tree album. The hit single Get On Your Boots has areally funky bass line and the title track is a brilliant song. For me the two best songs are Moment Of Surrender and Unknown Caller. Overall this is U2 right back at the top of their game showing everybody why they have been the most successful band in the world for the last 20+ years. There are no fillers here and if you like U2 then you will love this new album trust me.
