But don't look back in anger, I heard you say...

U2's new album now has a title, No Line on the Horizon, and a March 3rd release date.

Being three months away from the release, I expect a new single maybe in the next 2-3 weeks.

High Five: U2 Unveils Album Configurations
U2

December 22, 2008 10:09 AM ET

Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.
U2's upcoming album, " No Line on the Horizon," will be available in five different incarnations, the glitziest of which carries a $96 list price on Amazon.com. The set is due March 2 internationally and the following day in North America.

Beyond the standard CD and double vinyl packages, "Horizon" will be offered in three additional limited editions.

The digi-pack version, which lists for $35.98, has the CD in a cardboard folded sleeve with a 36-page booklet, a fold-out poster and "a new film from Anton Corbijn featuring the music of U2," the latter of which is available as a download.

The magazine version, for $49.98, finds the CD housed in "a special 60-page soft cover magazine-style book," and also includes the downloadable Corbijn film.

Lastly, the box set version comes, naturally, in a box with a 60-page hardcover book, a second poster and the Corbijn film on DVD.


Although the track list for "No Line on the Horizon" has yet to be announced, Q Magazine reports it will feature songs such as "Magnificent," "Stand Up," "Winter," "Breathe," "Every Breaking Wave" and "Crazy Tonight," the latter of which sports as-yet-unspecified contributions from the Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am.

Say what you will, but U2 is one of most critically acclaimed AND best selling bands of the last 20+ years. 90% of their Grammys are totally deserved.

I'm really looking forward to this album.

They didn't deserve to win AOTY for "How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb".

It is their most praised, but "All That You Can't Leave Behind" is my favorite, followed by "Acthung Baby" and then "The Joshua Tree".

All are A(+) efforts, tho.

Agreed! Kanye, McCartney and even Gwen Stefani had better albums nominated, but they lost only because U2 is a juggernaut of a band.
They might be the biggest band of the world, but that doesn't mean they are the best.

Well happy birthday to you!
What a b-day present!

I am having palpitations about the new single.
Is it being released in the US?
I know it's called Get On Your Boots.People who have heard the album say it's great!
I hear they're performing on the British Music awards.

(heard a clearer version on youtube but can't find

GET ON YOUR BOOTS

The future needs a big kiss
Winds blows with a twist
Never seen a moon like this
Can you see it too?

Night is falling everywhere
Rockets at the fun fair
Satan loves a bomb scare
But he won’t scare you

Hey, sexy boots
Get on your boots, yeah

You free me from the dark dream
Candy floss ice cream
All our kids are screaming
But the ghosts aren’t real

Here’s where we gotta be
Love and community
Laughter is eternity
If joy is real

You don’t know how beautiful
You don’t know how beautiful you are
You don’t know, and you don’t get it, do you?
You don’t know how beautiful you are

That’s someone’s stuff they’re blowing up
We’re into growing up
Women of the future
Hold the big revelations

I got a submarine
You got gasoline
I don’t want to talk about wars between nations

Not right now

Hey sexy boots...
Get on your boots, yeah
Not right now
Bossy boots

You don’t know how beautiful
You don’t know how beautiful you are
You don’t know, and you don’t get it, do you?
You don’t know how beautiful you are

Hey sexy boots
I don’t want to talk about the wars between the nations
Sexy boots, yeah

Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound, sound
Let me in the sound, sound
Meet me in the sound

Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound, now
God, I’m going down
I don’t wanna drown now
Meet me in the sound

Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound
Let me in the sound, sound
Let me in the sound, sound
Meet me in the sound

Get on your boots
Get on your boots
Get on your boots
Yeah hey hey

I'm underwhelmed too. It's just OK. Hopefully the rest of the album is better.
