New U2 Album Review, Lyrics And More!

No Line On The Horizon Review:

By: Dan Waggoner

No Line on the Horizon is the twelfth studio album by Irish rock band U2, released on 27 February 2009. It is most certainly an Epic Album. This is U2′s first since 2004′s , How to Dismantle and Atomic Bomb, the longest gap between studio albums in the band’s career. The material was originally intended to be released as two Eps, titled Daylight and Darkness, but the band later decided to combine them into one album.

U2 began work on a new studio album in 2006 with Rick Rubin but later decided to shelve most of the material from those sessions. The band collaborated with producers Brian Eno  and Daniel Lanois from June 2007–December 2008 for the album, allowing them to be involved in the songwriting process. Writing and recording for the album took place in four different cities. The album was planned for release in November 2008, but the band had written approximately 50–60 songs and wished to continue writing.

U2 is the type of band who definately has a signature sound and feel. The difference with this particular album is that they have evolved into more than just your average rock band. The entire band seems to have become a bit more free in how they write, record and get their message across. If you are a true U2 fan, which I am, you can almost envision yourself in the studio with them as they were writing, testing and rehearsing the new songs. The vibe and tempo is melodic for some tracks and traditional U2 style Irish rocking on others. It’s a very well thought out and finely tuned array of soul searching ballads as well as some good ole fashion U2 version of Rock N Roll. The Edge seems to get better as the years go by. The man is simply amazing on guitar!  Bono, Adam and Larry are still as phenominal as always.

I became a fan of U2 when I first heard the song ” Sunday Bloody Sunday” and then when the album “Joshua Tree” came out in 1987 the deal was sealed. I have never turned back. As you can see neither has the band. It doesn’t appear as though they are coming back to St Louis, Mo on the upcoming tour but maybe if I’m lucky there will be a change in plans. Nothing stopping me from going to see them In Chigago though. I have found a copy of the Upcoming  U2 Tour in Europe as well as the US and listed them below.
