U2 Was Not Satisfied
U2 frontman Bono had recently said that his band’s latest album “No Line On The Horizon” can be considered to be the worst album they’ve ever produced. This opinion stated by Bono was published by the New Musical Express. He believes that the low interest which was shown by their fans may be explained by certain difficulties of the sound. It’s a complicated record and not everybody can see the real beauty of it nowadays. “We weren’t really in that mindset and we felt that the album was a kind of an almost extinct species, and we should approach it in totality and create a mood and a feeling, and a beginning, middle and an end”, noted Bono. Practically, it all means that people were expecting something more ‘pop sounding’, but this time U2 wanted to experiment, so it was more like “my way or the highway” sort of approach. Following the last statistical data, “No Line On The Horizon” sold five million copies worldwide, which is the lowest result in the band’s history. In Britain alone they’ve sold one million copies, but it was way not enough to reach the first places on the national chart. However, it’s still good and surely U2 keeps on rocking all the way through.
