U2’s New ‘No Line On the the Horizon’ Album Leaks to BitTorrent

Leak was reported to have been downloaded online through Australian Universal’s online store.

Bono and company’s latest album “No Line On the Horizon” has found its way to BitTorrent tracker sites everywhere well ahead of its scheduled March 2nd release date.

The copy is a transcode of fairly decent audio quality, and was apparently “downloaded online through Australian Universal’s online store.” When and how isn’t clear.

So far album reviews are pretty evenly mixed, with some calling it the “biggest deception of the year” and others calling it the “best U2 [album] ever, [it's an] instant classic.”

I doubt it’s the best album ever. There’s no way it’s better than “War,” but I do hear tracks like “Moment of Surrender” deliver the goods we’ve come to expect from the Irish rockers.

As interesting side note, U2 is booked to appear on “Late Show with David Letterman” for an unprecedented 5 days during the week of the album’s release date, March 2nd.

Rock on!

    They have a couple good tracks on the album but most of it is crap. In fact most of the album is very amateurish and uninspired.

    I agree.

    It’s definitely no “The Joshua Tree” or “The Unforgettable Fire”….a lot of the tracks sound the same with no sort of bold creative feel to them.

    hahaha. I bet Bono is gonna have a stroke out of anger.

    Artist like Bono don’t make music for fans anymore they just release crap so they can cash in on the mass lawsuits.
