I kind of get this vibe from a lot of the songs. Don't get me wrong, it's a great album, but sometimes it seems like some of the stuff just doesn't gel together.
Bono does seem to be the weaker link on this album. I agree with James that Magnificent or I'll Go Crazy should have opened this album.
I've noticed from a few fan reviews that I've read, that those who liked How to Dismantle and Atomic Bomb generally don't care for this album, but those who thought that album was just okay like this album a lot more. It makes me interested to go through and start listening to U2's discography.
#1102 Re: The Garden » Is this an attack on Obama's Race? » 924 weeks ago
What about a cartoon where Obama is depicted as a basketball player dropping the ball, and the ball says "stimulus" on it?
That's not my own idea, that was in my local paper. I had a guy I work with come up to me and said, "I findnd it kinda racist to depict Obama as a basketball player."

You should just give in to temptation and listen to the album.
Maybe we should do a pool for what day I crack or if I make it to March 3rd. $10 buy in and guys draft dates. I swear I'd be honest. Honor code
I say you crack soon, not because of U2 fan's praise for the album, but for the praise being given to it here.
U2 deserves huge credit for this album. They are mainstream, and have obvious hit songs on this album, but it's amazing. There really aren't many mainstream bands that could put out this quality of music and still make hits.

Omg... Duff used a STAR on his album cover! He's just trying to rip off Axl and ride the GNR gravy train again! Why else would he say he loves Axl as well?

Looks fake just by the file size. 12 mb for all those songs...

The chimp didn't escape a zoo. It was a woman's pet. It had been a TV star over the years and lived like a child. Apparently it snapped and attacked the woman's friend who was coming to visit her. And I don't think it's appropriate to be joking about the situation when the woman who was attacked is in ICU and might not survive this.
Then they crossed more than just the racism line with that cartoon. What garbage. That is just plain disgusting.

It sounds just fine to me, but I'm not one of those people who love FLAC.
I feel bad talking about the album to you Bono... it's like getting loaded in front of a junkie.
#1108 Re: The Sunset Strip » U2 - Acoustic Achtung Babies » 924 weeks ago
but I can safely say just from having a quick listen to a bit of each track that this blows How to Dismantle An Atomic Bomb completely out of the water.
White As Snow is one of the best U2 tracks ever.
For the record, there is no Vertigo on this album, although I don't really care.
That has pretty much been my opinion on this record so far. There's no Vertigo on here. But that certainly doesn't matter one bit.
White As Snow is great. I love that one. It'll be nice to see a great album at the top of 2009 sales figures.
