  1. Don't think I've listened to this album since 2009 to be perfectly honest. Sometimes I think "maybe I'll give it a listen" but I always find something I want to listen to more before I do.
  2. I like how we are all talking about the aspects of the album that did/did not work live. It's extremely relevant because U2 is not simply a band. They're a live act.

    But if you want my opinion about the album just as an album, that is, I pop the thing out the case and put it into my laptop and listen to it, then my opinion is that the album was far from a failure. I don't think it was their best work, certainly not better than HTDAAB (but I will also admit that my love for HTDAAB is equivalent to that of pleasegone's love for Pop), but I still loved it.

    I think most people would agree that the album was not as much of a failure as the band seemed to imply that it was.
  3. almost 3 years later I see a lot of similarities between Pop and NLOTH. To be honest I agree with a post above me, I "like" NLOTH but almost never listen to it Magnificent, Unknown Caller, Stand Up, White as Snow and Breathe are terrible imo...

    Same here. Have only heard live versions of the seven songs they've played in concert.
  5. I often listen to Magnificent, MOS and NLOTH - the figure in mixes I often play. I sometimes listen to Cedars, too. But yes, not the whole album.

    If North Star, BFFTS and EBW had been on it, and a few less inspired songs had been out, it'd have been a very different story! Winter would have also made a terrific, grand B-side.
  6. My rates


    No Line On The Horizon - 8/10
    Magnificent - 8/10
    Moment Of Surrender - 10/10

    I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight - 5/10
    Get On Your Boots - 5/10
    Stand Up Comedy - 7/10
    FEZ - Being Born - 8/10

  8. ^I agree ...although I thought Breathe should have been put much earlier in the album.
  9. No line on the horizen is a great album, I love it, because im a mild person but too soft for todays people. I think if your going to play soft you have to at least sound spiritualy bad for people to take more liking.
  10. I still don't get the mistake in Cedars of Lebanon where the song is tripping..
  11. Besides "Get on your Boots," which songs will stay in the next tour?

  12. I want No Line On The Horizon (song) to have a glorious return!
