100No Line on the Horizon is U2's third killer in a row--by now, it's bizarre to remember that just 10 years ago, everybody thought they were headed toward the dinosaur band tar pits.
-
Upon first listen, No Line on the Horizon seems as if it would be a classic grower, an album that makes sense with repeated spins, but that repetition only makes the album more elusive, revealing not that U2 went into the studio with a dense, complicated blueprint, but rather, they had no plan at all.
-
No Line on the Horizon reaches for "The Unforgettable Fire's" post-"War" reinvention but misfires this side of "Pop" without the songs.
