By now you’ve probably heard
Get On Your Boots, the first single from U2’s upcoming album
No Line On The Horizon. If you haven’t, get rockin’
here. Set for a March 3rd release in the US,
No Line On The Horizon will be the Irish giants’ first album since 2004’s
How to Dismantle An Atomic Bomb. This period between albums is the longest in the band’s history, and we’re excited to hear what they’ve cooked up in the last five years. With eleven solid studio albums under their belts to date, countless other compilations and offerings and plenty of Bono’s world-saving endeavors, nobody can deny U2 is a legendary force in music. Whether it be pop, electronica, rock or something else entirely that’s yet to come, my bet is that Bono, Edge, Adam and Larry nail it indefinitely.
1993’s Zooropa remains one of my favorite electronic albums and definitely my top U2 album. Like Pop, it’s another album where the smarty pants seem to have chosen a genre just for fun and outright “pwned” it so to speak. Then again, everything U2 produces seems to shine with this epic and lasting quality that drives fans wild again and again and makes the haters even angrier. It’s awesome. Nobody can touch these guys. If anyone in music has my vote for lifetime achievement – it’s U2. The new album contains eleven tracks, and the stunning cover artwork by Japanese artist and photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto is an image of the sea meeting the sky. Produced by Brian Eno, Danny Lanois and Steve Lillywhite, the album will be released in five formats just to make us fans crazier: standard format, digipak format, magazine format, box format and LP viynl. Learn more and preorder yours on the band’s website. Get on your boots!
