After listening to HTDAAB a few times, I realized how incredibly immediate the entire album feels. It didn't take any "getting into" the songs for me, which is unusual. The only other U2 album that was this immediate for me was ATYCLB. When I got ATYCLB I played it constantly for probably a month, then it went into regular rotation with the other albums. On the other hand...
One of the beauties I always thought about U2 is that it took time to really "get" the music. Pop took me ages to get into, so did Achtung Baby and even The Joshua Tree(more like the 2nd half of it). Achtung Baby and Pop were spinning for months before I was really able to disect them, both lyrically and musically.
Is the fact that HTDAAB is so immediate, much like ATYCLB a bad thing? Do you think the novelty will soon wear off?
