i think this was the right time to make an album in which they feel comfortable in their own skin without rehashing ideas of the past.
It sounds like a fresh new perspective from the boys, banging out straight forward rock tunes. Something i think the band needed, I was really waiting for this album. Bono and Co. talked alot about writing the 45s, single material, and the primary colours of rock and roll. guitar, drums, bass, and voice.
I think they did an outstanding job, tunes like, Love & Peace or Else, A man and a Woman, and fast cars were nice suprises, as was the solo in All because of you!
and they hadn't written a tune like Vertigo or COBL in 15-20 years or so.
I think the diff producers and production were the main weaknesses on the album, but after hearing live versions of songs, that usually helps me get around the production. I really don't like the production on Joshua Tree, AB, or Zooropa, maybe Pop, but after having heard the live versions, etc...I still really enjoy those albums!
The next album will have to be something new though!
