Ok, ok, I know I am not supposed to. I know that it is boring, a step backwards, not all its hyped up to be, etc., but I just can’t help myself! Beautiful Day, Elevation, Walk On, Kite, New York, In A Little While, When I look at the World more than make up for terrible tracks like Peace on Earth and Grace. And come on Wild Honey (while cheesy) just makes you want to say something nice to your significant other. Hell, I even find myself tapping my foot along to Stuck in a Moment even though I cannot fathom why in the world U2 would write such a song.
The lyrics are pretty plain, they are pretty straightforward and while I know (I know, I know, I know) I am supposed to lament the fact that Bono no longer paints pictures with the very mist of heaven, I can’t but feel drawn to the simple power of a charismatic man bearing his soul. I am drawn to the humanity of it all and wonder just how many people would write these songs and not become passé.
So while ATYCLB will probably never be my favorite U2 album, I am growing to more than just appreciate it; I am growing to love it.
