Disc 1

Artist:	U2

Description:	'No Line On The Horizon' is U2's twelfth studio album, and follows the massive success of 2004's 'How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb'. The first single from the album, 'Get On Your Boots', may be an all-out rocker akin to previous successes like 'Vertigo', but the remainder of the album sees the band diversifying in ways similar to their 'Zooropa' days. It is inescapably a U2 album, though, so Bono's vocals still speak of injustices personal and global, and The Edge's guitar work continues to be both feathery and metallic in equal dose. As far as continuing the band's lengthy career goes, 'No Line On The Horizon' is simultaneously a crowd-pleaser and musical step forward.

Review:	Rolling Stone (p.72) - 5 stars out of 5 -- "The Edge takes one of his few extended guitar solos at the end of 'Unknown Caller,' a straightforward, elegiac break with a worn, notched edge to his treble tone....'Cedars of Lebanon' ends the album much as 'The Wanderer' did on ZOOROPA, a triumph of bare minimums..."
