Any U2 Fans Here?

I just picked up U2's "No Line On The Horizon" CD album after I got hooked to one particular track "Magnificent". Instead of turning up the volume and enjoying the music I find myself lowering down the volume and switched to some smooth jazz after less than 5 minutes of play. I didn't finish the rest of the songs on the CD. The quality of the recording is terrible. It is unfortunate good music is marred by poor quality recordings. Has anyone experienced this with the "No Line On The Horizon" album? Is there another version of high-quality recording that I may not be aware of?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

When rock stars promote politics and do-gooderism to the point that it eclipses any potential musical innovation it is usually an attempt to mask the fact that their creativity has run dry, if there was any to begin with. The John Lennon syndrome. When the artist runs out of gas it is time for 'causes'.

PS: I truly hate that Irish boner guy.

Whatever afflicted John Lennon we could use lots more of that today & the new U2 album is fine-- owing as much to the mature contributions of Eno and Lanois as Bono.

The difference? Lennon had talent. All the way to the end!

Lennon died way too young and anyone criticizing Bono for trying to leave the world a better place is just an idiot who watches to much fox news! if you wish to demean the sound quality of his recordings or make fun of the sunglasses be my guest it is all a matter of taist. but if you put down the attempt to stop malaria or feed the poor you are just down right STUPID!
