Any U2 Fans Here?

I just picked up U2's "No Line On The Horizon" CD album after I got hooked to one particular track "Magnificent". Instead of turning up the volume and enjoying the music I find myself lowering down the volume and switched to some smooth jazz after less than 5 minutes of play. I didn't finish the rest of the songs on the CD. The quality of the recording is terrible. It is unfortunate good music is marred by poor quality recordings. Has anyone experienced this with the "No Line On The Horizon" album? Is there another version of high-quality recording that I may not be aware of?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Sure, the new album's sound quality can be really annoying -- I've found myself turning it down, too -- but there really are a whole bunch of great U2 songs on "No Line on the Horizon." I've played it over and over and have really found myself liking it more and more. (Granted, I've been a fan from the first. Even saw them way back in the day before they were at all well known. It was in a college auditorium that probably doesn't seat more than 1,000 or so, and they completely blew the roof off the dump.)
Get on your boots and give the new one another listen. It's no audiophile recording, but it's damn good rock 'n' roll played by a band that is still on top of its game.

Excellent news, Ryder. I'm willing to bet that you find more songs you like as you hear the disc a few more times. I'll admit to being predisposed toward liking the boys, but I really do think that this is their best album in quite some time.
