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 use to be a fan up to about 7 years ago and no more so when only college radio was playing their music before they became a hit. Strickly speaking from a music point of view the band should either get more creative or quit milking the golding cow. Bono's humanitarian efforts are admirable -- WITHOUT QUESTION!

Agree on the recording quality of ALL the albums.

I remember listening to Joshua Tree on vinyl years ago and loving it. I just put together a good quality 2 channel digital system and haven't listened to much U2 at all, it just wasn't doing it for me. Then I got the remastered Joshua Tree. Wow - this is what I remember. Adam shines on many tracks including "In God's Country" and "Exit". The Edge's brilliance is heard with clarity on every pick. This release lets you hear the emotion in all the tracks that was lost on the first CD release.
