For the first time since AB I love every traqck on this album. White as Snow mostly
Man, what's with everyone bagging on Stand Up Comedy? Sure, it's not the best track on the album, but I think it's awesome. Very different than anything U2 has done before.

Almost the same for me. Both AB and NLOTH have one weak track for me that I'll usually skip a lot (TTTYAATW, IGCIIDGCT). But it is the first time since AB that I love the second half of the album as much as the first half.
the "White As Snow" Americana crap pisses me off since Bono could have made this about a victim of US aggression instead of pandering to American nationalists.
I have to say I'm very underwhelmed by "White As Snow" and "Ceders" of which I expected so much. Very dull and Bono's lyrics aren't that great; the "White As Snow" Americana crap pisses me off since Bono could have made this about a victim of US aggression instead of pandering to American nationalists. Ceders also has a pretentious ending about enemies and isn't at all about Lebanon or what Israel did and that travesty to justice is screaming for attention. But new U2 won't give it or defend the Muslim world beyond the most timid cheesy PC stuff. Pathetic.
Edge has really let the whole band down on this album. Daniel Lanois should be the new main guitarist.

I completely agree with you, these are purely about the individuals and nothing more, but Muldfeld will always look for and find a reason and if he can't find one make one up in order to call Bono pathetic, attack America, make some political statement or all of the above.
