This week I'm excited about two new releases from two band.

The first band is the big almighty U2 and their long anticipated album "No Line on the Horizon". Their first single "Get on your boots" from the new album have been played on the radio a lot and have been receiving mixed reviews. I haven't made up my mind yet if I actually like it or not.... I think it sounds a little psychadelic, but, with the recognisable voice of Bono and The Edge's trademark guitar-sound there are some glimmers of brilliance. It's not exactly easy-listening music; it needs more than one listen.

At least there is one thing you can say about U2, they are never scared of trying new directions and influences. Probably why they still are so big.

The next "old" band with a new album is the English indie band Doves. After 4 years wait there is an album which is called "Kingdom of Rust" and it will be released on April 6th. The single "Kingdom of Rust" will be released earlier in the end of March. This track is easy to like, a simple sentimental song with a nice feeling to it. Compared to U2 it feels more humble whereas U2 do it slightly more "big". I find myself listen to it over again, not because I need to analyse what I think about it.

It's more simple than that; I like it. A lot.
