U2 Look to the 'Horizon' on New Album

The details surrounding U2's forthcoming album are coming out a slow trickle but here's another drop in the bucket: the effort will reportedly be titled 'No Line on the Horizon' and is expected to be released on Friday, November 14, according to a recent report in the Sunday Mirror. While the band's camp has yet to confirm the news, U2's record label, Universal, corroborated the story -- at least partially -- by registering the URL www.nolineonthehorizon.com.

According to the Mirror, songs set for 'No Line on the Horizon' include 'For Your Love,' 'Love is All We Have Left,' 'One Bird,' 'Moment of Surrender,' 'If I Could Live My Life Again,' 'The Cedars of Lebanon' and the title track. An additional report by a fansite revealed that Anton Corbijn and a crew of 19 shot a video footage for the latter -- tipped to be the first single and expected late next month -- with director Anton Corbijn in the Spanish city of Cadiz, although Bono, the Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen, Jr. were not present.

"We're gonna knock out another record that's promising to be a fantastically innovative collection of songs," producer Daniel Lanois told Spinner of the U2 album earlier this year. "I'm excited about that. We've been referencing Jimi Hendrix records. I was interested in the drum feels and that track 'Crosstown Traffic' has an incredible drum performance. We wanted to hear some of that Mitch Mitchell drumming."
