What do you think about his work on this new album?
I like the album a lot. It is a big departure from U2 sound, BUT it works.
What I´m not very happy about is Edge. I don´t hear any good riffs or sounds from him on this record. Did he run out of the ideas in this area? I don´t like at all his hard rock style riffs and the 70´s sound he often uses nowdays. These are sounds and riffs every other band can do, I would confuse Edge with every other guitarist on this album. That never happened to me in history of U2. It seems like meeting Jimmy Page influenced him maybe too much
His songwritings is brilliant, though. Maybe he subordinated to the sound context of this record... But still...
