Re: U2 - No Line on the Horizon
Ill be interested to see who helped produce each song...i was listening to Get on your boots...and ok, its no masterpiece... its another mindless vertigo type song... but if you can block out Bono's voice and listen to the Drums...and the Edges flicking on the guitar... its fairly impressive...

the sound quality is nearly too perfect..there is no grit and the guitars and bass a really suppressed...nearly too compressed, especially when it should be louder, like edges high notes over some of the choruses....

I think the middle eight is fantastic and saves the song because i will listen to the song just to get to that bit...brilliant drums....but yet again the instruments are buried too much...

What has hurt this song the most is the Producing...Eno? Lanois? Lillywhite? does anyone know yet who produced this song in particular?? I think it could really have benefited from a bit of grit and home style recording....

In terms of the album...going by this song.. (because i cant see any live streams of the full albm on myspace) . ... i think the producer is going to make or break the songs it.

although some say not to judge it by the first release... either way were all going to buy it anyway just to see...so they are still gonna sell a billion records!

and any way you look at it.. most new bands out there today are still unable to make a record like U2 even this as some people would call it below par effort.

The fact is the Edge is a real guitar genius and bono has a persona to truly pull off most styles of music... you may not like U2 but that does not make their music shit...

..im holding my judgement till i hear it...but anything like "All that you cant Leave Behind" and i willbe fairly happy
