Sweetie and I saw U2 in concert in Norman, Oklahoma last month. They played several songs from their latest album. We didn’t have it so we had to get it. Sweetie got it first and I couldn’t steal it from her until recently.

Their latest album is “Thin Line on the Horizon.” It was released in February of this year I think and is their first CD since “How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb” in 2004.

The songs on the this CD are are more smooth than rock but still have a little edge to them. I have been playing it over and over and am still not tired of it. Bono has really developed a smooth voice over the years. My favorite tracks are the title track “Thin Line on the Horizon” and “White as Snow.” The cd is not really single oriented though. The songs fit in with each other very well and seems meant to be  listened from front to back. Its the kind of music that one can just put on the stereo and lay on the couch and really listen to. (Who has time for that anymore/)

I give the CD a rating of four stars out of four. It is almost perfect.
