No Line On The Horizon

“No Line on the Horizon is closer to the transitional risks — the Irish-gothic spell of 1984’s The Unforgettable Fire, the techno-rock jet lag of 1993’s Zooropa — but with a consistent persuasion in the guitar hooks, rhythms and vocal lines.”
Here's the full tracklisting:
1. No Line On The Horizon
2. Magnificent
3. Moment of Surrender
4. Unknown Caller
5. I’ll Go Crazy If I Don’t Go Crazy Tonight
6. Get On Your Boots
7. Stand Up Comedy
8. Fez – Being Born
9. White As Snow
10. Breathe
11. Cedars Of Lebanon
A album to cherish a band going forward not happy to rest on their laurels

No Line On The Horizon
Thursday, 29 January 2009
U2 No LIne On The Horizon
1 'No Line on the Horizon'
The opening title track kicks off with a crunchy, distorted guitar riff from the Edge.
2 'Magnificent'
Dancey electro flourishes introduce an atmospheric track with moody leanings.
3 'Moment of Surrender'
This particular moment of surrender sees a slowing down of the tempo and some delicate, bluesy guitar playing from the Edge.
4 'Unknown Caller'
More intricate guitar fretwork that builds into a mid-tempo rocker featuring an organ and one of the album's lushest productions.
5 'I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight'
Chiming guitar intro, a rousing Bono falsetto and the lyric, "Every generation has a chance to change the world".
6 'Get On Your Boots'
The belting single that shot straight to the top of the Irish airplay charts here stands as the halfway tune. The video will be premiered tomorrow on www.independent.ie from 4.55pm.
7 'Stand Up Comedy'
Grungy pop with strident drumming from Larry Mullen.
8 'Fez -- Being Born'
On first listen, easily the album's most adventurous and challenging track with ambient synthy hooks.
9 'White as Snow'
A stark, stripped back and striking tune with imploring vocals.
10 'Breathe'
Starts off with a trip-hop beat and cello playing before transforming into an all-out rocker.
11 'Cedars of Lebanon'
A reflective parting glass for album number 12, finishing on the line, "Choose your enemies carefully because they will define you".
The album is now available to pre-order on iTunes.
