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.

I have the vinyl edition of "No Line on the Horizon" and I think it sounds quite good. Everything is relative, however, and I guess I should say that the sound exceeded my expectations, which were not high. I think the music is very good. I'm only a moderate U2 fan, by the way.

I was considering buying the new remaster of "Joshua Tree" on 180g vinyl. I only have the original 1987 CD, which I played yesterday and found the sound very disappointing (bad early digital mastering).

Any comments on the vinyl re-issue?
