Unsure about U2's 'No Line on the Horizon'? Here's Why It Deserves a Second Listen
Season 7 · Episode 48
mercredi 3 décembre 2025 • Duration 01:29:56
This week on the Garden Tarts:
By now, it is no secret that we don't "get" No Line on the Horizon as an album. It is only fair to bring a fan to the album's defense.
Side A: Kip Mullin (Jr.) in defense of No Line on the Horizon
Side B: The 360 tour, our adventures and how the band didn't stand by the album.
And of course, questions for Bono over whiskey and cake!
