Is this the worst U2 album ever ?

[JTbaby]

After a week of NLOTH I was skipping GOYB, SUC, Crazy, WAS, COL
After a week of HTDAAB I was pretty much done with it
After a week of this I'm still listening Start--->Finish whenever time allows.

I will back off in a bit as I have a lot of other stuff to listen to, and really need to have the Vinyl to experience it properly anyway.

The vinyl release is on my birthday. I'm stoked.

Considering how the OP hasn't responded once since starting this thread, I think we all just got trolled.

Who cares? There's a new album and we have months --months!-- before we're going to need another Pop thread.

I foresee a Pop vs. SOI thread in the near future.

(I almost just did that just for fun. )

#4 for me, behind only UF, JT, AB. Of course time changes everything...

1) AB
2) JT
3) SOI

I'm not joking... ...I'm seriously addicted...

I just listened to Unforgettable Fire and I'm listening to War now, and Songs of Innocence isn't nearly as good as those two.

I listened to Boy and NLOTH (and SoI) yesterday and was surprised by how much more I liked SoI than Boy. I thought I'd enjoy Boy more.

I think Pop has higher highs than Songs of Innocence, but isn't as consistent and has a few duds, while SoI is consistently good. I don't need to listen to Joshua Tree, Achtung Baby, or Zooropa to know that I like those three more. So Songs of Innocence isn't their worst album, it's sixth out of 14.

I love this album. It'm pretty confident it's going to be a top tier U2 album for me (top 4). I've been listening to their back catalog between SOI listens and I think it holds its own with the greats.

I already did so yesterday.
