U2: No Line on the Horizon - March 3rd, 2009
01. "No Line On The Horizon"
02. "Magnificent"
03. "Moment of Surrender"
04. "Unknown Caller"
05. "I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight"
06. "Get On Your Boots"
07. "Stand Up Comedy"
08. "Fez - Being Born"
09. "White As Snow"
10. "Breathe"
11. "Cedars Of Lebanon"
from pitchfork (and widely reported):
Modestly successful Irish rock'n'roll band U2 have announced that their 12th album, No Line on the Horizon, will be released by Interscope on March 3, 2009 in North America. Brian Eno, Daniel Lanois, and Steve Lillywhite contributed production. It appears that will.i.am did not. Guess Kanye was wrong.
Billboard.com reports that the Horizon tracklist is expected to include "Moment of Surrender", "Unknown Caller", and the title track.
Also, U2 were recently added to the list of contributors to the War Child benefit album Heroes, out in February.

Well, there is this one: http://forum.dvdtalk.com/music-talk/...il-2009-a.html
You know, you could have just searched for "Bono" when you found that "U2" was too few letters.

Well, the band did work with him recently:
The Black Eyed Peas haven't released a record since 2005's Monkey Business, but frontman Will.i.am hasn't exactly been slacking off. The sometime CNN hologram and recent Grammy nominee is prepping their spring 2009 album, The E.N.D., with super-top-secret recordings with U2 in London (''I can't say anything!'' he swears). He'll also portray a mutant in the upcoming X-Men Origins: Wolverine; he's signed a ''seriously dope'' new electro duo, LMFAO; and he just started an interactive website, Dipdive, to showcase his in-progress solo recordings. ''We're being aggressive,'' he says, ''and trying to redefine what an album is. I'm moving away from the record business and starting the experience business.'' — Leah Greenblatt

U2 To Sell Five Versions Of New Album - One With Almost $100 List Price | U2 news article from @U2
U2 To Sell Five Versions Of New Album - One With Almost $100 List Price
Amazon.com listings show formats ranging from standard CD to full Box Set

U2 will release five different versions of their next album, No Line On The Horizon, with one version carrying a list price of almost $100 (USD). That's according to product listings on Amazon.com tonight. All five are listed with a March 3, 2009, release date.
Officially, U2 has only announced the album's name and release date; no details have been shared about different formats. Earlier this year, though, manager Paul McGuinness hinted to BBC radio that the new album's release would be unique: "We will obviously work with whatever technology is available to make the release of the new record as interesting as possible."
The first two formats on Amazon.com are standard CD and vinyl releases:
Audio CD ($13.98 list price)
Vinyl (2 LP) ($17.98 list price)
There are also three "limited editions" listed, each with unique bonus material:
Digi-pack version (CD/Poster/Film Download) ($35.98 list price)
Magazine version (CD/Magazine/Film Download) ($49.98 list price)
Box Set version (CD/Poster/Book/DVD) ($95.98 list price)
None of the individual product pages provides any more information than what's in the name of the product. Amazon UK also lists five versions of No Line On The Horizon, but the product descriptions aren't as detailed; one listing, though, does refer to a "Hardback Book" -- likely the same item in the "Box Set" listed on Amazon.com.

So wait, what sort of a film is it? A U2 documentary or some sort of art film with music by U2?

Is it cool to not like their last couple albums? Too many singles? Too many Grammy awards? I always thought the albums were a great return to form after the Zooropa/Pop experiments of the 90s. It will be interesting to see how the new one turns out.

I enjoyed "All that you can't leave behind" and for me it ranks 3rd behind "Joshua Tree" and "Achtung Baby!". "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb" was just OK for me...nothing special. We'll see what happens with the new album but I'm definitely looking forward to it!

I don't know if other people rag on them for the sake of being cool. For me, though, as much as I love their 80's albums, Achtung Baby and Zooropa are my favorite U2 albums. And to see them go from the stunning musical statements of those albums to AOR junk like HTDAAB is just sad and disappointing.

in any case, i'm with you. AB is hands down their best IMHO. even though Pop was pretty lame, it was way more adventurous than the last two. and I LIKE ATYCLB.
my money is on this next one being great. i have faith!

I love Pop, with maybe the exception of Miami. I like U2 at their best when they're kinda funky, so the 90s are probably my favorite, though I do love their music from every era. As for HTDAAB, I really enjoy City of Blinding Lights, Original of the Species, and Crumbs from your Table.

Love their music, but I can't get past the irony that U2 (Bono, Edge, Mullen, Clayton) are one of the most motherfuckinggreedy bands in all of rock history. Yes, I know bands set out/desire to be popular and successful. But U2 have released/re-issued, toured, produced or published some sort of money making product every freaking year for the past 30+ years. And every U2 release/tour gets more and more expensive as years go by. For U2, who set out and strive to be "the band for everyone," (literally, in this case at every price point), one things for sure, their music might not always be the greatest but U2 are truly great at one thing... lining their pockets.
With that being said... must, resist... the.. $100 version! Sonsofbitches!

as for their live shows... you get what you pay for. yeah, u2 and the stones were really expensive, but my lord the production is half of the show.
and to get back on track: i doubt the $100 version will remain that at release point. unless i know exactly what the hell that DVD is all about, i find it to be pointless.
