"The cover of U2’s No Line on the Horizon uses Boden Sea, an image by Japanese photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto", interwebs says.
Apparently, they weren't the first to do that.
http://www.irishtimes.com/newspa…They were terrific when they were played by producer masters of puppets Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois: on Achtung Baby and most of all, Zooropa. These albums were milestones, actually they were sold as one at some point in some countries. U2 never came back to these heights, releasing crap ever since.
I never saw them play, but suppose they're still among the best acts to be seen live. The new single isn't as bad as the last album was, so there is hope...

alrighty, one listen through. better than that last lump of crap but 'get yer boots on' just plainly blows. contrived 'rock' is just plainly awful. it's a grower but only just. the i actually really dig the first track but i love driving / rolling bass lines.
my 2 cents.
- the album'a a grower i mean. not that awful single.airey

fwiw, it got a 5 star review in rolling stone.
i scoured some sources to get a peek, but didn't have time to hear enough to draw any conclusions. i'll post some more thoughts later.

Just listened it for first time, not bad.
I can sumarize the presentation single is the worst of the album, the rest of the tracks promises...

Jeez, I can't believe such a legendary band (at least in critics' eyes) has such a terrible website.

Heard it this morning. Pretty good, and I can't say I was looking forward to it.
