this sums it up nicely.

This record, i'm trying not to listen to too much. I'm also wondering if i'm trying to make myself like it, but frankly the first 5 or 6 times I heard Magnificent, I had a stupid grin on my face. That's not natural, nor do I remember EVER doing that with Achtung Baby.

Is this record the Joshua Tree or Achtung Baby? nope. but is it good? yup.

interested to see what Mr.Hyde thinks.

LOL The same for me with Magnificent but the second half of the album is definately a more interesting route.

Re: U2 - No Line on the Horizon
yeah, it's definitely a grower I think. but i can't get magnificent's lyrics out of my head.

I'm shocked and pleasantly surprised that they are releasing the second album at the end of the year!

hello Underworld?!

Re: U2 - No Line on the Horizon
I started off not liking this album at all, but it's definitely grown on me in the last few listens. In fact, the only two songs that I truly dislike are Unknown Caller and I'll Go Crazy... Moment of Surrender is one of those take-it-or-leave-it songs for me (the looping *glunk-de-glunk* sound-effect that lasts the whole song just about kills it for me.. it's like the arrow in the Fedex logo, once you hear it you can't ever un-hear it) and everything else I think stands up pretty well. Magnificent is one of the best things they've written in a while. I would've liked to have noticed a larger Brian Eno influence on the songs.. have to agree with Pitchfork's review which noted that he seems largely relegated to creating "spacy intros" on this album.

Looking forward to Songs of Ascent in late 09 now.

Ah, there was a time, well in the 1960's and 70's, that two albums a year was not unheard of, in fact, the norm.
