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.

Ditto lowering the volume on the vinyl version. There is no reason why rock can't be mastered without all that ghoul damn compression. Oh right, this is music for the masses with their earbuds and mp3 players that would catch fire if there was greater than 50 dB of dynamic range pumping through them. We can't have that now can we?
Oh yeah listening to the new one on vinyl as I write, great record! And recently got the remastered Boy and October on vinyl and they are excellent too.
