U2 set to unveil new album by year's end

2008-08-14T23:37:48Z

U2 seem almost certain to unleash their latest opus upon the masses later in 2008. The album, the Irish band's twelfth, is reportedly titled No Line on the Horizon and it has been given a tentative release date of November 14.]]> How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, which spawned great singles such as "Vertigo" and "City of Blinding Lights" but perhaps was not, when all is said and done, such a great album.

What do you think - has U2's time as a band making great albums (as opposed to great singles) come and gone?
