“The Unforgettable Fire” is, questionably or not, the first U2 album that managed to finally deliver a cohesive and uninfluenced sound. Upon it’s release in 1985, it topped every chart and solidified the band’s position as the number one rock act of the moment. It’s no wonder that for it’s 25th anniversary, The Unforgettable Fire [...]

We kinda guessed this was the next step since releasing their album cover, so we kept an eye out and guess what: now, they’ve released their single too. “Get On Your Boots” is the first single from U2’s latest album, “No Line [...]

Yup, that’s the new cover art for U2’s upcoming twelfth studio effort, “No Line on the Horizon,” and while many hail it as one of the worse album art of the decade, we kinda find it okay, in a zen sorta way. The gray ocean horizon thingy was shot by Hiroshi Sugimoto, a Japanese [...]

It seems the people behind [tag]U2[/tag] aren’t too fond of the Radiohead model of selling their latest album, In Rainbows. Specifically, U2’s manager Paul McGuinness confessed recently that he feels that Radiohead’s pay-what-you-want policy “backfired.” He also assured everybody that in no way U2’s upcoming album, that will probably see the light of day sometime [...]
