This is the best U2 album since......

[JTbaby]

Pop

 

[bobsaget77]

Zooropa.

 

[SpiralStaircase]

Zooropa.

 

[Aardvark747]

Pop

 

[owl]

Yeah definitely Pop.

 

[joaoclaudiobh]

Achtung Baby

 

[Tacvbo]

All that you can't leave behind

 

[xmarcx]

Achtung baby--and that is not to say I do not like the ones in between--but this is next level stuff

 

[rennowba]

Achtung Baby

but ive said that about every u2 since atyclb. Time will tell but this album is so good at the moment

 

[david]

Tedder, Epworth, Dangermouse are the new Eno, Lanois, and Lillywhite.

 

[NYCGrace]

Atyclb.

 

[Desert Dog]

AB - love Pop but it wasn't finished.

 

[digitize]

I'm not sure yet if I like it more than No Line. If so, then Pop.

No Line On The Horizon

 

[phommel]

joke, as an album since POP. On NLOTH and ATYCLB there were some bigger tunes/singles. But as an album, this sounds GREAT. Volcano is TOP

 

[purpleoscar]

Too early to say, and then there's Songs of Experience (the Use your illusion sequel) which will have a factor in how the themes come together. I think it's the best since Achtung Baby but I have to give it more time. The lyrics are really strong on this new album.

 

[Niceman]

NLOTH?

lol

Seriously, I love it, but I also loved NLOTH. I'll easily say this album is better than ATYCLB or HTDAAB, but the jury is still out.

 

[2861U2]

Better than both Bomb and NLOTH.

 

[Peterrrrr]

Not better then NLOTH, better then Bomb and ATYCLB. But nowhere near AB, Zooropa and POP. They are lightyears better...

 

[bono_212]

I *think*...*think* mind you...

ATYCLB.

 

[catlhere]

NLOTH. Doesn't excite or connect with me even after multiple listens like NLOTH did after its very first. But I am enjoying it very much!

That album excluded, I would probably say best since Zooropa. Didn't care for Pop, and it leaps over both 00's outputs. Solid LP.

 

[Nick66]

It's better than Bomb, I'll say that for sure.

Otherwise, too soon.

 

[gman]

I think this album will settle in 13th place in my list of fave u2 studio albums

 

[JTbaby]

For those asking about clipping/brickwalling

Most definitely some, not as bad as HTDAAB or some parts of NLOTH (non vinyl versions)

TIWYCRM sounds worse to me than a 10, will listen to it on a decent system when I get home.

sorry wrong thread

 

[prbiker15]

I *think*...*think* mind you...

ATYCLB.

I will have to agree.

Achtung Baby . . . They were trying too hard in the 2000s. POP could've used this production team. This is a pleasant surprise. I think it will get a huge reception, especially after today and the promise of a mirrored follow-up.

 

[DeVaul]

This isn't the best U2 album since anything.

 

[rjhbonovox]

The best ever! I like that U2 have ripped off Arcade Fires No Cars Go and Dire Straits so Far Away on the same album.
