Since 2011 we use this thread to discuss how the NLOTH album is ageing and how our perception changes (or not) through time, and we regullarly change the thread's title. The original thread was opened when the album was 2 years old!

In a couple of weeks it will be 2 years since NLOTH.

What do you all think of this album now?

My ratings:

1. No Line On The Horizon - 10/10
2. Magnificent - 10/10
3. Moment of Surrender - 10/10
4. Unknown Caller - 10/10
5. I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Crazy Tonight - 1/10
6. Get On Your Boots - 1/10
7. Stand Up Comedy - 5/10
8. Fez-Being Born - 10/10
9. White As Snow - 10/10
10. Breathe - 4/10
11. Cedars Of Lebanon - 10/10

Total score: 7.4 / 10 / [Good]

Best Track: Moment Of Surrender
Worst Track: Get On Your Boots

Sarcasm? Or are you talking about the many 10/10 tracks.

The latter. Has Magnificent really aged that well for you?

Wow 2 years. I usually get bored after a year of ANY album but i still love this one.
Infact i think this album and 'boy' are the only U2 albums i can play in its entirety without skipping a track or 2.

What is the probability of someone here rating Stand Up Comedy, Crazy Tonight and Get On Your Boots 10/10? Impossible?
