Irish rockers U2 have announced the release date of their highly anticipated new album.

No Line On The Horizon, the group's 12th studio album, will be released on March 2 2009.

The album was originally slated for release this year, but the band said it was keen to write more songs before unveiling the follow-up to 2005's Grammy-winning How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb.

No Line On The Horizon was written and recorded in Fez, Morocco - with additional sessions that took place in New York, Dublin and London.

Long-time collaborators Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois produced the new album, with additional production by Steve Lillywhite.

Bono said in a recent interview that the new album "doesn't sound like anything we've done before, and it doesn't really sound like anything that's happening at the moment."

Album Review twit by twit

If there is a rocket tie me to me** It has a u2-esque piano...I like it 8/10
Crack the shutters** Slow paced...a little repetitive a very Eyes Open sound 7/10
Take back the city ** I don't know if its the number of times I've heard it...hehe...I like it, good rythm 9/10
Lifeboats ** The first notes of the guitar reminded me of Oasis... 9/10
The Golden Floor** A very death cab for cutie sound on this one...not so sure about the claps though ** 7.5/10
Please just take these photos ** So far so good...the guitar builds up. Not so different from their usual upbeat songs, but I like it 8.5/10
Set down your glass* Reminded me of cranberries- Ode to my family* Maybe it will grow on me,perhaps paying more attention to the lyrics 8/10
The planets bend between us*Love the title...the song not so much,again maybe listening to the lyrics carefully would make a difference 7/10
Engines ** It gets a little repetitive with the "uuuh's" , I liked the chorus though... 8/10
Disaster Button ** Again builds up, sounds a little too much like "take back the city" 8.8/10
The lightning strike** Loved the piano...reminded me of tom yorke... 9.5/10

Album review twit by twit...

Spinning.--- The beginning was a little Death Cab for Cutie, or influenced by Ben Gibbard's sound...interesting
American Love--- Not too crazy about the "electronic" bits in the chorus...the rest is ok
Annie use your telescope --- Again with the Ben Gibbard sounds...
Suicide blonde-- It has a part that reminds me of The Klaxons-- Not over yet
Lillaby -- Soft...but at this hour (1am)...dangerous! Zzz...
Caves -- A much more pleasant sound than American Love...I didn't like that one.
The Resolution -- "I need light in the dark as I search for the resolution" The best line.

*****************************
In the rain

Bad news and tunes
Shining from the high
Singing some sad song

***************************************************
And maybe I'm not up for being a victim
When all my resistance will never be distance enough

Driving away from the wreck of the day
And it's finally quiet in my head
Driving alone, finally on my way home to the comfort of my bed
And if this is giving up, then I'm giving up

****************************************************

People say we got it made,
Don't they know we're so afraid?
Isolation...

**************************************************

'Cause everybody hurts. Take comfort in your friends
Everybody hurts. Don't throw your hand. Oh, no. Don't throw your hand
If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

*************************************************
Im so thankful for we are strangers when we met
*************************************************
People are moving together....
We are all in the dance...
**************************************************
We all shine on....

Después de ver un poco de vh1 me trauma:

A) Kid rock + sweet home alabama= desastre comercial

B) el regreso de los new kids on the block. de acuerdo cuando tenían
menos de 20 años se veían curiosos con ese nombre. Ahora mas de 10
años después del fracaso de sus carreras como solistas y varios
realities después...new kids?? Para mi sería mas bien como old kids
that went broke. Tristemente es por eso que surgen casi todos los
reencuentros. Y por último coreografías malas en trajes
blancos...creo que mal entendieron los muchachos, los backstreet boys
habían hecho una coreografía así en uno de sus vídeos en incluso ya
habían sido parodeados por blink...en que mente cabe que eso sea una
buena idea para incluir en el vídeo para revitalizar la carrera de
estos boyband??

C) vh1 me ha traumado con el declive y lo repetitivo de su
programación, pero le agradezco el recordarme que tengo que escuchar
sandman y lo nuevo de metallica.

I don't expect you to understand
After you caused so much pain
But then again you're not to blame
You're just a human, a victim of the insane

***************************

I've been down and
I'm wondering why
These little black clouds
Keep walking around
With me

So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home
So maybe tomorrow
I'll find my way home

I look around at a beautiful life
Been the upperside of down
Been the inside of out
But we breathe
We breathe

Time may change me

But you can't trace time

Strange fascination, fascinating me
Changes are taking the pace I'm going through

****************
There's something in your eyes
Don't hang your head in sorrow
And please dont cry
I know how you feel inside I've
I've been there before
Somethin's changin' inside you
And don't you know
Don't you cry tonight
