  1. Being relatively young (and possibly/probably naive) I've taken notice to the hype about 'No Line On The Horizon' to which many radio hosts as well as the album producers have described as 'innovative' and more importantly; 'their best work'.

    While I realize the average age of fanatic on this forum is quite young I was pondering as to whether anyone could tell me what the so-called 'hype' preceding the previous two albums was like.

    Were they viewed in the same light as the same forthcoming album? I know HTDAAB was praised highly enough beforehand and while I like the album a lot I would agree with Bono that the sum of the parts were stronger than the whole as a sum. Basically the view changed a bit after it came out, so far as I know. That said it is still and forever will be a great listen.

    Do other people worry that this current album is being built up too much? After the long wait I gather fans want something a bit special so would a 'solid' production be too little to put up with?

    Anyway best of luck for 2009 - may you all get tickets!

    For the record, no I don't think it has been this big before thanks to the "news as it happens" world we live in today.
