Love the aussie review from zootopia
The German Musikexpresss gave NLOTH 4 out of 6 stars. They say it´s good and occasionally innovative, but criticize U2 for not being brave enough to record a really experimental album again.

I am sick of that story*to be or not to be experimental*?It doesnt make a sense...Let u2 play good music as they did always...what i heard-this album is gonna be one of the best from U2...

great news - is there a translated version anywhere?I have the magazine here. They gave it 4 out of 5 stars, that's not bad. There's an article and the album review in the March edition. They say mostly positive things about the album, but they say the experimentation doesn't go far enough. They say it's a mixture of great classic U2 moments from the 80s and a lot of new sounds. Strangely enough they say Fez-Being Born starts out to be a collage of different sounds and quite experimental but becomes a characteristic U2 song in the end. Now, that's new.
Overall, good review!
Assuming the reviews/rumors are true, I think U2 is making a mistake by releasing Crazy Tonight as a single before Magnificent. I also think they should have just released Mag. first, but that's done and past. Here's my thinking: the 2nd single comes out close to the album release, while the hype, press, and promotion is in full gear. It has the best chance of being noticed and grabbing everyone's attention. Crazy Tonight seems like a very single-y single. It's what people expect from U2. It's not going to grab them and make them reckon with this band again like Magnificent possibly could. What do you guys think?
The editor of another music magazine, who has never had a good word to say about U2, confessed that he had been constantly listening to and really enjoying the new album. And on my way through the centre of London yesterday, I bumped into John Wilson, one of the presenters of Radio 4's Front Row programme. He told me he had just interviewed the band for a special to be broadcast in a couple of weeks, and had also sat in on some rehearsals, where he said the new single 'Get On Your Boots' was transforming into something punkier and even more immediate.
Single releases don't really matter anymore. Not in the day of iTunes where people just pick and choose what they want off an album anyway.
It's by Neil McCormick for the Daily Telegraph.
He's not really reviewing the album, says there's an "embargo" on it, which I don't understand, because we've had reviews already.
I liked the part about talking to other journalists about the album:
