No Line On The Horizon – U2
The Irish band’s 12th studio album was originally slated to come out before the end of last year, but the band pulled it back to mold and twist it some more, after the original material recorded with Rick Rubin was shelved.
They’ve been rocking since the early 80s, when it comes to stadium-filling anthems, there’s no challenger to U2’s crown.
It’s been a while since their last release, 2004’s “How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb”, but it’s been worth the wait.
It starts out blustery and familiar, before gradually revealing an unexpected and almost lovable sense of vulnerability.
“Magnificent” with its drum crescendos, trademark guitar riffs and a soaring Bono vocal is easily the best thing here and is crying out to be released as a single.
My favorite tracks:
“Magnificent” might place in their top 10 songs.
“Being Born” Interesting direction in sound that I hope they explore more in the next album.
“Unknown Caller “- Vintage U2 take on things.
“I’ll Go Crazy” – Yeah, it’s got to be the first song played at the live show.
“Moment of Surrender” – Might live long as one of their best.
Definitely must listen!!!
