Devoe, I was going to launch into a huge rant about why you are a twat…however others seem to have done that really well without me. Stick to writing reviews on the Barney the dinosaur live show. It is more your level. I also, was going to talk for a while about how wrong you are about u2 and this album. However I then realised that Bono farting into a bottle would make more meaningful music than you ever could. Devoe you are wind up merchant cunt, and you know it.

Devoe Yates…for reasons that have already been pointed out, you’re an idiot.

He’s right. U2 are fast becoming the new Rolling Stones; known for tours and not albums.

People are so quick to say this is their best effort since Achtung, but that’s not saying much. They phoned in the past two, Pop was a failure, and Zooropa was great but rushed. Why do they deserve the respect they get? They’re legends but no longer relevant in today’s climate, at least not with this album.

I also believe it got high marks from respected magazines because it was so hyped and its an album with a lot riding on its back; it would essentially be good for music for it to succeed.

Anyways, this is a confused album with awful lyrics. It has some gems, but nothing near the caliber of Streets or One. Frankly they’re not capable of greatness anymore, the past 8 years of selling out has taken its toll. Pop may have been bad, but it had guts.

This is the worst review I have ever read! I am dumber for having read it. Do you know anything about music? You can’t stay relevant for 30 seconds none the less 30 years. I am running off of your website like loose electricity while the band in your head is probably playing a Backstreet Boys song!

My God,No Line On The Horizon is U2′s best effort in a decade,I think that on most U2 fan boards the majority of U2 fans have said that this album is superior to the last two U2 albums,which may have contained the big hit single(Beautiful Day and Vertigo) but were safe and boring on the whole as far as albums were concerned.

No Line On The Horizon works as an album,there is no big hit single and nothing on it that is immediately radio friendly and yes the album does grow on you,in 10 years time it will be even more appreciated than it is now.

Having said that,shame on you, (Administrator) for letting an obviously biased anti-U2 basher write a so-called review on the new album…..this was just a venemous blog by “Devoe” on his hatred for U2.
If this is what passes for “cool” these days,let me off at the next stop

It never fails to amaze me when a so called “reviewer” takes all of about three paragraphs (at best) to completely dismiss an entire album of music that a group of people have spent years creating. The album is anything but “awful”. Rolling Stone gives it 5 stars, the first time theyve done that for a U2 album since “Achtung Baby”, which if this pathetic excuse for a “review” is any indication, is apparently the only U2 album that youve heard previous to this one. “Sad old men”? Considering that they arent even in their 50′s yet, I have to wonder by that moronic comment exactly what decade YOU were born in, kid … the mid 80s perhaps? Youll pardon most of us for not wanting to take our musical advice about this band from someone who was still dirtying their diapies when we were first discovering the band’s music, k? Thanks, sunshine … Im an “old man” of 45, so Im off to collect my social security payments and soak my dentures now.

(PS … Kelly Clarkson fan, by chance? Would your life “suck” without her music?)

I’m sorry but you give no serious musical criticism, you simply bash the lyrics. Its thoughtless journalism.
They’re a band for god sake, and you dismiss them as “sad old men.” if you think its acceptable to bash people just because they’re a bit older, you contribute to an ageist culture of stupidity.

I have to say the first time I heard the album I wasn’t that impressed… It does however grow on you .
