This review is so refreshing, if only for the fact that Sean Highkin doesn’t spend the first 10 paragraphs expounding his opinion on Bono’s personality or his extra-musical activities. So many U2 reviewers feel like they need to tell their audience where on the hipness scale they stand by opining on Bono’s supposed self-rightousness et al. It’s about the music and the songs.

Though in other albums (Unforgettable Fire, Joshua Tree, AB) there are some songs much stronger than the strongest song on No Line, i have to say No Line is the only album i don’t skip any songs. They are ALL very very good and/or great. (Of course, this may change in the years to come…but right now, i can’t foresee how.)

Excellent review, excellent album, Muldfeld you can trust in Sean , this thing is much better than All that, and How to …, much much better, and respect to the NME review…, if they rated How to dismantle …, higher than No line, then you can’t trust in these moron people…, Instead, see these most accurate ratings:

Q mag – 5 stars !
Rolling Stone – 5 Stars
Blender – 5 starts
Mojo – 4 stars
Uncut – 4 starts

Very nicely written, Sean. I can’t wait to listen to the new album in about 2 weeks, when I’ve finished my paper and copies of the boxset finally come to Canada! I know I can trust your opinion for deriding the last 2 albums. NME gave “How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb” 9/10, but the new album only 7/10, so I got worried.
