What really happened with U2? Compare the lyrics of, for example, Bullet the Blue Sky and any of this selfcentered Bono mumbling. It became music without soul, product, made to please all demographics, and politically correct, not rebelious, not even sincere. Album is going to be a flop, and tour is going to bring money, but more as a circus of today, rare rock stars, and jukebox of old, but very old, good U2 songs.

I think I might be the exception here, I never really got the whole U2 thing in the 80's - 90's. This album though, to me at least, is their best work. I thoroughly enjoyed it start to finish. I may give their older catalog a re-listen, in case I missed anything else I might like :-) I thought your review for the most part was pretty accurate. I might have given it an extra bulb though ;-)

Do you mean you can't see the lightbulbs? Because I can see them, they're right under the U2 album art.

Or did you mean you don't understand why there are 6 of them?

I'm not interested in U2 so I didn't read the review, might be in there but what happened to the lightbulbs?

I'd rather deep fry my own ballsack than have to listen to any music that Bono or the rest of his money-hungry, soulless band of talentless mercenaries create.

Haha Vicky- I noted that many of the lyrics flirted with silliness and over-importance, that's why "important" in "important lyrics" is in quotations. Bono thinks they're important, but they really aren't.

I'm glad you guys only gave this a 6/10, but maybe that was already too much. Nice read though.

The new album is terrible. Deleted after the first listen through.

Gets better with every listen. If you're disappointed with it, give it more time and see if it grows on you. I can't say that there's a track that I don't enjoy.

Do you mean with lyrics like in "magnificence"?: "I was born to be with you"... Please, don't pull our leg!

seeing them tomorrow on my college's campus for good morning america. :)

but I have to admit, the album is a snoozer, but I like three songs you pointed out.

Unfortunately, I disagree. I think Eno's production is amateurish and the album sounds like a collection of outtakes and demos, to me. I love U2, I love your blog, but this album was a HUUUUUGE disappointment.
