U2 NO LINE ON THE HORIZON
U2's 12th studio album is their oddest roots move yet -- back to the edgy, old-school new-wave band they never really were. Yet No Line is entirely convincing, with sounds, tones, and textures that wouldn't have sounded out of place in 1983, when the band was at its peak of martial bellicosity. Circa 2009, U2 are more interested in exploring grooves, from the ecstatic foghorn grandeur of "Magnificent" to the metronomic chime of "Unknown Caller." DAVID MENCONI
