[...] impressed by No Line On The Horizon, U2’s latest album, is a bit of an understatement. When I reviewed it back in February, I ended up scoring it a 3/10 after enduring the ignominy of listening to it a few [...]

After 6 months of trying to digest this CD I just gave away my copy of NLOTH, I simply don’t want this CD in my collection. I was and still am fan of old U2 work, but I think that they finally accomplished Bono’s “two crap albums and we’re out”. Seeing this U2 (360 Tour included) is like seeing high school sweetheart being prostitute on the street. They are old, predictible, jukebox machine with only passion left for money. What they portrayed in Achtung Baby and ZOO TV Tour, they became today: sold out rock stars who play just for ego and $$$. Goodbye U2.

I have been the biggest U2 fan since the Joshua Tree came about back in 1987. Having got that outta the way I happen to wholeheartidly agree with this post on the following points:

1) Bono singing on this album is the WORST ever even POP trumps it
2) The songs are all consistent….NO CHOURSES AND NO MELODIES
3) The remedy for listening is to skip all the tracks

All and all U2 try to makeup for a crap album by doing a blackberry sponsored tour which goes back on what they used to say about not selling out to big business…Going forward this has resulted in U2 no longer being relevant. All the work they accomplished trying to get back to basics has gone to shit with this album. It’s a sad time for me as a die hard U2 fan as I will never think of them in the same light.

It’s kindof similar to your favorite sports figure getting outclassed by the new breed of talent. They are just too old and the fire is not there to make a decent album.

I wrote a huge review, then realized I could just say this:

Go listen the the Joshua Tree album.

Ah… Nice to see a review that isn’t written by one of the pandering record company shills that fill the pages of Rolling Stone, NME, et al. This is a dull as hell album and even ‘Solid Familiarity with previous releases’ doesn’t change that. In fact, if the album wasn’t crap then being familiar with their earlier stuff wouldn’t matter – you can’t trade off old glories forever.

You don’t like Bono. Boo hoo
Personally I love the album and think it’s U2′s most compelling in years

Dave,
I understand you don’t like Bono-it is not so hard, but this album is much better than previous two. Bono is not trying to reach high tones. His singing is not pathetic like it was on ATYCLB and HTDAAB. On each of these two records you can easily find at least 5 boring songs. On NLOTH there is no weak song! Everyone with enough brains and heart will enjoy this album for a long, long time…
It is not fer to expect absolut creativity and quality from U2. We are living in very cold and selfish times with a great lack of creativity, humanity and positive energy… U2 are giving a lot, but can not fill all the gaps… People expect to much from them…
