No Line on the Horizon for Best Album of 2009

[Josh42]

No Line on the Horizon by U2.

YouTube - U2 - I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight

Enough said.

The Hannah Montana Movie Soundtrack FTW :blush:

Hoedown Throwdown

[Josh42]

STIFF COMPETITION.

[howyousawtheworld]

I agree. No Line On The Horizon is a gem amongst a pile of coal.

I agree. No Line On The Horizon is a gem amongst a pile of coal.

Exactly. Humbug and The Resistance, which were the two most highly anticipated albums of the year, were both disappointing (in my opinion).

[an angel]

You've already heard The Resistance? :confused:

The songs are all on Youtube too.

[an angel]

Thanks. :)

[Josh42]

No probz.

I thought No Line on the Horizon was horrible...

You're entitled to your own opinion. A lot of people did like it though and I think it's a strong contender for best album.

[The Escapist]

I love NLOTH. I haven't heard The Resistence yet but when i do i judge up between them and vote.

[strawberryswinger]

both U2 and Muse's albums are highly dissapointing... i don't know what to vote for :confused:

U2's is specially bad :uhoh:

[LoverInJapan]

Mmmh, this isn't tough for me. No Line On The Horizon is just U2 on another level! It has my vote undoubtedly.

[giulls]

OF COURSE i'll vote for U2:dozey:
:thumbsup:

[pickle]

no wai :wacko: i love this album! :dance: U2 FTW.

I had incredibly high expectations for this album and was deeply disappointed with the overall cheesy feel. Magnificent is the only song that was truly great. I would have much rather seen Doves Kingdom Of Rust album get a nomination. Killer from start to finish.

I liked Kingdom of Rust, but there aren't enough Doves fans on here for it to win.

[colduser]

Good call. Doves wouldn't win.
I'll vote for No Line.
What a shit music year thus far.

Undoubtedly No Line On The Horizon will win the best album of the year in the next grammy awards. :cool:

[colduser]

I sincerely hope not.

Exactly. So many disappointments.

[Dfit00]

I sincerely hope not.

Just didn't do it for me. Weak in my opinion. I can think of at least 5 albums that should get the honor. Although, if millions of albums aren't sold, Grammy doesn't give a fuck.

[Pseudonym]

It's truly pathetic how this album is so loved. U2 has been fading for years, and this is just another ho-hum album. Where is the bold, passionate U2 that gave us Sunday Bloody Sunday and Where The Streets Have No Name?

[Dfit00]

I might agree, U2's music has changed so much since the 1990's.

[colduser]

I too am amazed how some people creamed their pants for this album. Rolling stone had that 5 star review and I wanted to vomit. Pitchfork got it right though, as usual.

Pitchfork is such a steaming pile of shit.

[colduser]

Yeah, um, gonna have to disagree with you there. Most times they get it spot on.

*edit-there is almost something charming about their elitist reviews.

[Jay Niguez]

So I need to check it out soon! :o :dance:

You are absolutely right about that, and I have always taken issue with their coldplay hatred.
Other than that, I am pretty much in agreeance with pitchfork.

[colduser]

Fuck damn Josh, why'd you have to bring up their AROBTTH(coldplays masterpiece) review. I remember reading that and thinking, what in the fuck.

All That You Can't Leave Behind: Pitchfork Media (5.0/10)

I honestly feel like they give albums poor scores just to be outrageous and get publicity.

Hahaha I know right? Ridiculous.

[i'maveryneatMonster.']

Mr. Josh.
I must admit that I do not like U2.
But I'll vote for this one since you made the thread :kiss:

You are right about giving poor scores for publicity. In U2's case, this year, I have to agree though. They can be spot on though most times, especially with newer bands and such.

However, AROBTTH is just an absolute stunner of an album and they are fuckin dicks for bashing that album.

Actually their best music came from the 80's; War, Boy, The Joshua Tree.


Pitchfork is such a steaming pile of shit.
So is Rolling Stone.

Are you having a :awesome: craziness, because of this :awesome: smiley?

Seriously... get over it.

[Coldplay Junior]

I'll vote for No Line, definatley my favorite of 2009 :D

[tauiwi]

This is gonna be a tough one, its up there for sure as top 3

[iPsy]

No Line on the Horizon was horrible in my opinion!

I love '...crazy tonight' but that's basically it, very dissapointing.

The Resistance has grown on me LOADS over the past couple of days so I think that will get my vote. Humbug was a dissapointment to me.

[coldplay_is_louve.]

This is definitley a contender.... top three or two, maybe. :uhoh:.

[Notion]

U2 ROCKS!

[Josh42]

^Spot on.

[w1ll1am7]

U2 for sure, i love the resistance, but this is far better
