I think it's an excellent album! ATYCLB was my first U2 album and HutDab is like an advanced, rougher ATYCLB. They go well together.
The first time I listened to this album, it was about 3:30 A.M. and my two friends who were spending the night were fast asleep. We had been eating Puppy Chow, (non-alcoholic) margaritas, and nachos, and to this day, mind you, I can sometimes still taste those margaritas when I listen to HutDab.
Vertigo: Obligatory catchy first single. And there's nothing wrong with that. Every album has one. I actually never get tired of this song. 5/5
Miracle Drug: Beautiful, but gives an impression of being a space-filler. 4/5
Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own: Nothing wrong with this song; made me cry the first time I heard it. I am getting a little tired of it, but only because it's been on the radio alot. 5/5
Love and Peace or Else: The intro to this song was the first thing I heard when I bought HutDab (I watched part of the DVD before I listened to the album itself). Great song, but the whole "Where is the love?" thing makes me think of the Black Eyed Peas. 3/5
City of Blinding Lights: This is one of those songs that I immediately fall in love with the first time I hear it, but then it turns out to not be so great after all. Althouh it's one of the best songs on the album, I get tired of it quickly. 5/5
All Because of You: The fact that this is one of U2's most Christian/spiritual songs didn't strike me for quite some time, and then I suddenly got it. At first I thought it was just a throwaway rock song, but yet I knew that there must be something more to it. There's actually some depth in there. If you still don't get it, listen again. Plus, I like the way Bono growls like a wildcat in the middle of the song. RRAOW! 5/5 (formerly 3/5)
A Man and a Woman: Adam said this song is "For the ladies." Is most of the bashing coming from male U2 fans? (It's kinda hard to tell.) This song is something totally new for U2 and I like it alot. They have as much right to make a sexy song as the next band. And sexy it is! 5/5
Crumbs From Your Table: The weakest song on the album, in my opinion. The "Whoa-oh-oh-oh" at the end makes me want to sing, "Everybody was Kung-Fu fighting/ Those cats were fast as lightning..."
3/5
One Step Closer: I know alot of people don't like this song. I used to be like that. I thought it was lame. Boy, was I wrong! This is a most beautiful song. The imagery in the lyrics is fantastic. It's nice and quiet. Try listening to it on a rainy day. 5/5
Original Of the Species: This one took a while to grow on me. I couldn't understand the hype at first, but now I think it's a downright sturdy tune. I like the violins. 5/5
Yahweh: This song is undeservedly bashed, but that's mostly because the atheists and spiritually declined among us find that Bono's praise to God leaves a bitter taste in their unbelieving little mouths. 5/5
Fast Cars: I totally think this song is awesome. But it kinda kills the mood set by "Yahweh" and the rest of the album and would be better in a different context. I guess it's like the drunk uncle that people always talk about who crashes the party. He's rowdy and boistrous, but he's alot of fun and you gotta love him. 5/5
i gave it another whirl. I actually liked it a lot better than i remember, and I can DEFINITELY appreciate Love and Peace or Else. My thoughts on SYCMIOYO kind of eased up some, but i still cant stand ABOY. But overall it is a good, solid album, that just crawled out of the basement spot in my U2 album rankings. Not shabby for 4 guys over the hill 
It's a nice straight-forward rock song and I like the lyrics, though I like the alternate version's lyrics better. In fact, I like the alternate version more, period. But the album version is good too, and it has a simple but totally rawkin' solo
