I don't personally see that metaphor, but it is a great album!
This is definitely U2 in 2009. So it might be better to say "planting of a Cedar tree".
To me this album takes the best bits of TUF, JT, AB, Z and HTDAAB (not so much ATYCLB) and fuses them well.
I told my wife last night that it sounds like the Zooropa train hit the UF train head on & ATYCLB showed up to rinse it off
Not really. It owes more to The Unforgettable Fire than anything else.

It's looking forward while paying respect to the past.
