U2 - No Line On The Horizon

Post by partyofone » Wed Mar 04, 2009 5:08 am

So just got the new album from U2... so far pretty cool... got that atmosphereic Eno/Lanois touch again.Is it me or does the title track sound very Kings of Leon influenced? That vocal is straight Caleb Followill to me. It's no secret they toured together and I can only imagine Bono is a big admirer. I like it though.

The album was the "daily special" on Amazon MP3 on Tuesday, but you can still pick it up there for $3.99:http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001S6HZTE

that's a good deal...yeah marc, glad it's not just me... I think it's totally cool that a super group that's been around as long as they have can still be influenced by younger groups like that.. tells me they're keeping their ears open.
