It’s finally out! The long awaited new album by U2 … ‘No line on the horizon’. Grabbed it during lunch today and was listenin’ to it at work. One first listen to it and I fell in love with many tracks on it especially the title track. I still can’t help but to feel that ‘Get on your boots’ makes me think of the older hit ‘Vertigo’.

Telegraph.co.uk calls the album ‘beautiful and highly speculative re-imagining of U2’s music’.

I tied myself with wire
To let the horses run free
Playing with the fire until the fire played with me
The stone was semi-precious
We were barely conscious
Two souls too smart to be in the realm of certainty
Even on our wedding day

from the track ‘Moment of surrender’

The following is the track listing ….

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

The other album I bought was the Madagascar 2 movie soundtrack for Fitzand. He loves the song ‘I like to move it’ ever since he watched the first Madagascar movie and has always been hopping around,waving his hands and sings along  when he hears it. Hahaha! I’ve some short video clips of him doing it and will post it soon. Since he ‘discovered’ the characters in the movie, he’s always asking me to buy him toys and stuffs with zebras, lions & giraffes.

Sometimes … when he’s watching the DVD after a long day out playing and running … I’ll be so tired and if I have to sing along … the line ‘I like to move it, move it!’ has to be changed to ‘I can hardly move it, move it’.

Inside the jewel box, there is a mini poster which Fitzand is sure to love but it’s actually folded out from the album sleeve. Damn. If I were to stick it on his bedroom wall … then the CD will look naked. Anyway … to the wall it shall go.
