The Irish Independent has published a critic of each song in "No Line on the Horizon".As we still have to wait until March, we can make do with reading about the songs...
. "No Line on the Horizon"
The opening title track kicks off with a crunchy, distorted guitar riff from the Edge.
2. "Magnificent"
Dancey electro flourishes introduce an atmospheric track with moody leanings.
3. "Moment of Surrender"
This particular moment of surrender sees a slowing down of the tempo and some delicate, bluesy guitar playing from the Edge.
4. "Unknown Caller"
More intricate guitar fretwork that builds into a mid-tempo rocker featuring an organ and one of the album's lushest productions.
5. "I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight"
Chiming guitar intro, a rousing Bono falsetto and the lyric, "Every generation has a chance to change the world."
6. "Get On Your Boots"
The belting single that shot straight to the top of the Irish airplay charts here stands as the halfway tune. The video will be premiered tomorrow on www.independent.ie from 4:55 p.m.
7. "Stand Up Comedy"
Grungy pop with strident drumming from Larry Mullen.
8. "Fez -- Being Born"
On first listen, easily the album's most adventurous and challenging track with ambient synthy hooks.
9. "White as Snow"
A stark, stripped back and striking tune with imploring vocals.
10. "Breathe"
Starts off with a trip-hop beat and cello playing before transforming into an all-out rocker.
11. "Cedars of Lebanon"
A reflective parting glass for album number 12, finishing on the line, "Choose your enemies carefully because they will define you."
