Free Music Notes for No Line on the Horizon (Limited Box Set including CD, Film, Hardcover Book, Poster) Album
Free Music Review: Trees of Lebanon... what about the wasted trees of Brazil that went into making this thing?
Hit: 2 Stars
I am not impressed with this offering. The packaging is sloppy. The box is simply too big and feels empty overall. Lots of paper waste from a band who you would think might be sensitive to wanting to protect trees, especially when you consider they wrote a song about the Trees of Lebanon.
I understand that there is a poster in there, there is a CD and there is a DVD, but the poster while a nice addition, it just seems to be a waste, and the huge box required to contain it, also seems a waste. It's just awkward, and useless. I wish now I would have saved a few bucks and opted for the deluxe CD instead.
As for the DVD, if you are a die hard care U2 fan like me, or you are stoned you'll probably enjoy it once. I love U2's music, and I am a long time fan, I'm a sucker when it comes to U2 and am the type to be the first in line to see their shows, buy their latest albums, and I even bought that U2 ipod a while back, but this is the first time I really felt I wasted my money.
The comments here are really directed at the box set, more than the music on this latest CD. Not a bad U2 release, I am still trying to get beyond the weird chorus in "get on your boots", I suppose it will grow on me in time. Overall... Eh, it's not bad.
A for this Limited Edition Box Set, I think they could have done a better job on the packaging overall.
