This is a sound sample from a commercial recording. Its inclusion here is claimed as fair use because:

1. It illustrates an educational article that specifically discusses the song from which this sample was taken, as well as the band that performs it.
2. It is a sample of about 30 seconds from a much longer recording, and could not be used as a substitute for the original commercial recording.
3. It is of a lower quality than the original recording.
4. It is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted sample of comparable educational value.

The sample of "No Line on the Horizon" is indicative of the change in sound the band made for the album following How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb.
