Free Music Notes for No Line on the Horizon (Limited Box Set including CD, Film, Hardcover Book, Poster)
Free Music Review: Linear is a superb addition.
Hit: 4 Stars
The album is fantastic, I rank it third in U2's catalog. The limited box is huge, the large book gorgeous with some great text and beautiful photography. Corbijn's Linear is an amazing visual journey about a Parisian motorcycle cop's bowing out of the rat race and riding off into the void to find his first love. The track order for the film is different to the album itself. The film features a song called 'Winter' which U2 dropped from the album in favor of 'I'll go crazy if I don't go crazy tonight' I'm sorry they did, as Winter is a beautiful song, but perhaps a little too reminisant of Coldplays 'Viva la vida' (maybe the reason it was dropped?). Is this box worth the extra? Depends on how much of a 'collector' you are.
There are a lot of people divided over the quality of NLOTH. I would certainly be pissed if I didn't enjoy the music, as this for me was a preorder.
Listen to the album first, as I doubt this set will fly off the shelves.
Free Music Review: The line is...U2
Hit: 4 Stars
The first approach it's difficult. The second gets better and at the end it's a great CD. This big box it's only for fans. If you have a place to keep it and tell it to your friend it's OK. But at the end it's U2 one of the great bands of all the time...Free Music Review: u2 no line on the horizon
Hit: 4 Stars
Another good album from U2. Needed to listen a few times before I liked 90 % of album. U2 veered from past albums. This is why they continue to be a top group ever.Free Music Review: Good CD and DVD, nice BOX set.
Hit: 4 Stars
This U2 is a mix bag. It's something from the 90's mixed with what they did on the last records.
Free Music Review: 3 STARS for the BOX SET, 5+ STARS for the CD
Hit: 3 Stars
I should begin by stating I am a DIE HARD, normally incredibly biased U2 fanatic. I never would have thought I'd rate anything they have available anything less that 4 stars until I bought this boxed set.
Since I usually have a 4-5 year wait for new U2 material, I immediatley opted for the boxed set of No Line on The Horizon (which by the way, at the time of its release was $67, not $98). I was thrilled to receive the CD enclosed in the pristine white box, opening it immediatley. After the usual joy of receiving the cd/new tracks, I moved on to explore the box. I must admit I was disappointed. Like I read in some of the other reviews, the book is a nice but short read, the folded poster is just okay and the DVD was a treat but there's NO WAY it can POSSIBLY be worth the price. NO way.
No Line on The Horizon is one of U2's greatest, without a doubt. It's absolutely amazing. I would just simply buy the CD alone which is the only thing I could not have done without in the set. We do have to respect the fact that U2 ALWAYS give us various price options. They know not everyone is willing to or is able to fork out $100 for a poster, CD and book. I got the lower price so I don't feel robbed. You really must BUY the CD...at $9.99 for what it contains it's a steal! No Line On The Horizon
