Inner El Guapo said:I think Steve Lillywhite wanted to push the bass up front. It was sort of buried on ATYCLB. Adam has had better bass licks, or riffs than that, but he hasn't "sounded" that good in years.

I agree with that. I also think that Vertigo's bass line is amazing, but it becomes especially powerful because its so prominent in the mix. He's done some amazing work before too, but IMO it was too often buried by the guitar in the mix (no offense Edge...) and we couldn't get the full fill of it.
This is also true in the live mixes, I find. My only complaint about the sound at a U2 show would be that sometimes the rythmic section is not loud enough. I always found it would be possible to bring it up without undermining the power of Edge's guitar. But again, sound mixes are very personal things...
