Rank Your Favorite Songs on the Album Part 4: No Line On The Horizon

[TheEdge25]

Here we go with Part 4 (sorry this one took a little longer to get up, been busy)

1 - Moment of Surrender
2 - I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight
3 - No Line On The Horizon
4 - Magnificent
5 - Fez - Being Born
6 - Unknown Caller
7 - Get On Your Boots
8 - Stand Up Comedy
9 - Breathe
10 - White As Snow
11 - Cedars of Lebanon

*first three of mine are definitely in the right place. The rest of the list is interchangeable, depending on my mood. Sometimes White As Snow will be as high as number 4, sometimes Magnificent will be as low as 11. I love NLOTH as an album, I hate having to pick it apart and decide which songs I like better than others. But yeah, that's my list above =)

 

[corianderstem]

Ooh, yay!

It took me about 3 listens to really get into it. I blame not feeling very well the morning when I picked it up, so my first listen was clouded by an upset stomach.

The first two tracks upon listening that stood out to me in that kind of awed "Whoa" way I like to hear upon hearing new U2 music were the title track and Cedars. Then after two more listens, I loved a lot more of it.

Aside from Boots, I'd managed to avoid hearing any of the new songs prior to the official release.

1. Breathe
2. Moment of Surrender
3. Unknown Caller (that top three switches around quite a bit, lately)
4. No Line On the Horizon
5. Fez-Being Born
6. Magnificent
7. White As Snow
8. Cedars of Lebanon
9. Get On Your Boots

slight gap

10. Crazy Tonight (the live remix would put this much higher on the list, but I'm going by album versions only)

Biiiiiiiiig ol' gap

11. Stand Up Comedy

Me too. I think it is a the perfect ringtone for numbers I don't know.

 

[corianderstem]

I don't even know how to set different ringtones on mine, so I just have the same for any calls. I don't get that many calls anyway.

I don't either.

Understandable, it's a fantastic song.

Yeah, Crazy Tonight Live would push it up into the second bracket (6ish).

 

[Catman]

I wish more lists counted down to the #1 spot - it makes things feel more dramatic!

11) Stand Up Comedy
10) Get on Your Boots
9) I'll Go Crazy... (live is soooooo much better! but studio is still a nice piece of happy fluff)
8) Unknown Caller (I appreciate they tried something different, but I'm afraid it didn't quite gel the way it could have... also didn't take off live the way I expected it to)
7) Breathe
6) White as Snow
5) Cedars of Lebanon
4) Fez - Being Born (I feel this will forever be an underrated U2 track)
3) Magnificent
2) No Line on the Horizon
1) Moment of Surrender

Crazy Tonight

Those four are set in stone.
The rest, more or less...

Cedars
Stand Up Comedy
Fez
No Line
White as Snow
Magnificent






Boots can foad. I shant rank it.

Slow songs bore me and put me to sleep. /minority.

Interesting, but how is that even possible? It's like saying, "I only like days; I hate nights!". Just seems too extreme.

Anyway...

Outstanding:

1. Magnificent
2. Cedars of Lebanon

Very Good:

(none)

Good:

3. White As Snow (almost 'very good', but poor vocals and over-produced!)
4. Unknown Caller

Average / Mediocre:

5. Fez/Being Born
6. Moment of Surrender (still cannot understand the fuss over this song... and those vocals are atrocious!)
7. Breathe (cannot get past the wonky lyrics -- musically, it sounds like three different songs stitched together)
8. No Line on the Horizon (nice energy, but where's the tune?)

Poor:

9. Get on your Boots
10. Stand Up Comedy
11. Crazy Tonight (sounds like a boy-band B-side)

 

[corianderstem]

11. Crazy Tonight (sounds like a boy-band B-side)
