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."

1. If there is a rocket tie me to me** It has a u2-esque piano...I like it 8/10
2. Crack the shutters** Slow paced...a little repetitive a very Eyes Open sound 7/10
3. 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
4. Lifeboats ** The first notes of the guitar reminded me of Oasis... 9/10
5. The Golden Floor** A very death cab for cutie sound on this one...not so sure about the claps though ** 7.5/10
6. 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
7. 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
8. 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
9. Engines ** It gets a little repetitive with the "uuuh's" , I liked the chorus though... 8/10
10. Disaster Button ** Again builds up, sounds a little too much like "take back the city" 8.8/10
11. The lightning strike** Loved the piano...reminded me of tom yorke... 9.5/10

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.
