U2NoLine.com:: Do U2 Albums Cross The Line...?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) March 16, 2009 -- U2NoLine.com:: No Line On The Horizon marks the latest in a long line of u2 albums. The discography of the Irish rock band consists of twelve studio albums, seven live albums, five compilation albums, fifty-eight singles, and seven extended plays.

While No Line On The Horizon has been welcomed as a return to God-like status by many, to others it is seen as a plateau of limited horizons. But U2 have reinvented themselves before. Remember their 1991 album Achtung Baby and the accompanying Zoo TV Tour?

U2 albums were not always big sellers. Their success as a live act was greater than their success at selling records until The Joshua Tree was released in 1987, which helped to increase the band members' stature "from heroes to superstars". Can No Line On The Horizon do the same?

Since 2000, U2 has pursued a more traditional sound that retains the influence of their musical explorations. 2009 - ? and their new album No Line On The Horizon enters the arena. Will it be another return to greatness?

With a career of almost unparalleled success and acclaim, expectations are high for their new album, No Line on the Horizon. The Joshua Tree's opening salvo of Where The Streets Have No Name, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For and With Or Without You put them at the very top of the rock pecking order in 1987.

Standing on the shoulders of past U2 Albums...

More recently, they have kept the hits coming. Their last album How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb was led by three big tunes - Vertigo, Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own and City Of Blinding Lights.

Its predecessor All That You Can't Leave Behind, in 2000, contained Beautiful Day, Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of and Elevation.

Those were all stirring, soaring U2 anthems.

This album is a bit different…

The new U2 album exceeded industry forecasts by selling almost half a million copies during its first week on sale in the US.
