critics' props to U2's No Line on the Horizon

if you find more, post them here please so we can keep track. i'm fully expecting this record to be critically praised and commercially disappointing (by U2 standards, i mean).

on a remix, i believe, but not an track that's featured on the album. I think he remixed cedars of lebanon, which to be honest, has such a hot beat that it wouldn't take a genius to give it an urban makeover.

It's a great album.
It's not easily accessible though. I expect most of the "instant gratification" folks as I call them won't like it.
For real U2 fans it has kind of a modern The Unforgettable Fire feel to it. IMO.
It's a grower for sure.

Have only heard the title track so far. Love it. First genuinely interesting thing I've heard from them in quite a while.

Was it the ablum version or the b-side version? They're pretty dfferent.
I like the ablum version way better. I would say if you like that you'll enjoy the rest of the album.

I've put away my leak for awhile and will revisit this album when it's released. I'm hoping hearing it with fresh ears will make me like it more.

The album version. Haven't heard the other. Is it a just remix or completely different?

I'm looking forward to listening to the rest. I was pretty disappointed in 'Atomic Bomb', although I did really, and still do, enjoy 'Leave behind'. But, sheesh, that's almost 10 years ago now!!!

It's not a remix. It's another version. It's more upbeat raw and more rock oriented. It's cool to hear after you've become familar with the album version.

I like the album but just got into Kanye's latest and loving it so I've only listened to 'No Line . . .' twice.
I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think.

Agreed.
It really is a grower. I like it more with each listen.
I wasn't blown away upon first listen but I liked it.
Now that it's sinking in I really like it.
My fave since POP.
