    Woah. I don't recall Magnificent being all that different live!


    It's much less disco-ish live. The tempo is different and the vocals are far less tentative. I really dislike the album version, but I don't mind it live.
    1. No Line On The Horizon - 9/10
    2. Magnificent - 5/10
    3. Moment of Surrender - 10/10
    4. Unknown Caller - 8/10
    5. I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Crazy Tonight - 7/10
    6. Get On Your Boots - 5/10
    7. Stand Up Comedy - 3/10
    8. Fez-Being Born - 9/10
    9. White As Snow - 7/10
    10. Breathe - 8/10
    11. Cedars Of Lebanon - 10/10

    One of the few albums where each part alone is better than the whole... It improves over time but still doesn't feel like a masterpiece and coherent album.

    You forgot to mention the calling out the suburbs introduction.
    This is how I think NLOTH performs next to the other U2 albums from the noughties.

    All That You Can't Leave Behind - 6.3/10
    How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb - 7.8/10
    No Line On The Horizon - 7.4/10

    Surprising personal results, really.

    I would agree with that, except I think that the first 4 tracks work well together.
    been listening to the album a lot the past days, rediscovering it.

    1. No Line On The Horizon - 9/10
    2. Magnificent - 10/10 (has been like that since the beginning for me)
    3. Moment of Surrender - 10/10 (same as Magnificent)
    4. Unknown Caller - 7/10
    5. I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Crazy Tonight - 4/10
    6. Get On Your Boots - 8/10
    7. Stand Up Comedy - 5/10
    8. Fez-Being Born - 0/10
    9. White As Snow - 8/10
    10. Breathe - 8/10
    11. Cedars Of Lebanon - 8/10
    0 for Fez/BB, Kirsten?!?! Why?!?!

    That's a bit harsh! Couldn't you at least give it 1 out of 10? If you can give Fez-Being Born 0/10 then I can give Crazy Tonight 0/10.
    she lost the 1 in front of the 0 LOL
    I'm only ranking but my (still) favourite track on the album wouldn't rate any higher than an 8/10 for me.

    1. No Line...
    2. Moment of Surrender (really like the Rose Bowl version)
    3. Breathe (why, oh, why have they omitted this from their sets)
    4. Magnificient
    ...big gap
    5. Unknown Caller
    6. Fez (should have been attempted live)
    7. Crazy (not a huge fan of either version)
    8. Boots (much better live)
    9. Cedars
    10. Stand Up
    11. ...Snow
