25 years apart, you'd hope that their latest album was better than their first.

I voted for HTDAAB, myself.

Not by a lot, but I think it's better by a few tracks.

Bomb.


Don't get me wrong, I recognize Boy as one of the greatest rock debut albums of all time. Not to mention classics like I Will Follow, Out of Control, and... dear god The Electric Co.

But in my opinion, I just like HTDAAB so much more.

I can't believe more people like Bomb over Boy so far.

Boy for me.

I voted for Boy too but I'm not surprised that Bomb is winning! After all more people here have probably listened to the Bomb and it's much more fresh in memory! :shrug:

This description keeps appearing in these forums - why is Bomb considered an "uplifting" album?

The only two optimistic songs on it, as far as I can tell, are All because of you and (in a way) Original of the species.

I feel that Bomb is very optimistic in that it doesn't leave you with a defeatest attitude... I'm not sure I would go as far as to say it's an "uplifting" album, because it does deal with temptation, death, corruption..., but you are still left with a glimmer of hope.

Vertigo paints this dizzying landscape filled with temptation and excess, but then it addresses a sort of spiritual retreat that comes from within:

"lights go down and all I know / is that you give me something... your love is teaching me how / I can feel your love teaching me how / how to kneel"

and then there's SYCMIOYO: "Listen to me now / I need to let you know / You don't have to go it alone"

It's just very... comforting I guess.
