I'm in agreement with several posters who said this album is "All That You Can't Leave Behind" Part 2. I thought I was alone, in seeing right through that album, as nothing more than a fake, poppy, manufactured sound that was tired and dull. Well, U2 did it again, folks.You can't get much manufactured than this. It almost sounds as if the guys made this album, just to get some songs on radio, and to make some more money. There's no feeling behind any of these songs, and they're getting to be a tired, tired act.Bono is nominated for another Nobel Peace Prize. Impressive. However, I'm not impressed with the fact that it seems he also thinks that he's saving the music industry through U2's music. Fat chance. U2 is washed up, and I hope this is it. They WERE a great band, but when you start putting out forced, heartless albums such as this, time to do something else.
