[...]This overrated ballad is nowhere near as good as their past ballads. It's clear most of U2 fans think they have sold out on this album (I'm one of them as well), with all that corporate propaganda, iPod, Apple Tunes, fake tickets, membership, www.u2.com, etc. We know that all artists has to renew themselves to sell albums to a younger audience. but we really didn't think that U2 would become one of them !.On "Sometimes..." Bono has basically taken the same rotten Grammy worthy formula from "The Hands That Built America". For worse, his voice sounds raspy and thin. The "Climax" part at 3 minute of the song is the most ridiculous U2 thing I've ever heard. Pathetic and irritating to say the least.[...]
