...after listening for over a month now here is a rating of the songs -
The Great Songs(could be classics only time will tell) -10/10
Love and Peace Or Else - about as adventurous as the album gets and a great song, Edge plays a blinder towards the end.
Original Of The Species - infectious and catchy, will make a great single, lovely synths apparently not strings, so Bono said on Radio 2.
The Very Good Songs - 9/10
One Step Closer - love the way Bono sings this one and a lovely Edge guitar in the middle.
Sometimes You Can't Make It - this song has grown on me a lot
Vertigo - after the bloody Radio stops playing it every minute this song will be back up there, still think this is a great tune.
The Good Songs - 8/10
Yahweh - great ending to the album.
Fast Cars - had this been xanax and wine instead it would been a 9/10.
The Average Songs - 7/10
A Man and a Woman - ok song but done better on songs like 'In a Little While' and 'Tryin' to Throw Your Arms Around', and 'Playboy Mansion'.
Miracle Drug - its got a good guitar break in the middle but this song suffers from being to near sounding like 'Beautiful Day' which is a far better track.
City Of Blinding Lights - a piss poor mix ruins this for me, otherwise has a great intro.
All Because Of You - they should have kept a lot of the original recording(the different Bono vocal, and drum rythym) then this song would have been better and sound different, but this just sounds like it's been done before.
The Below Average - 6/10
Crumbs From Your Table - worse song on the album, too similar to 'Walk On' but nowhere near as good.
Well fire your insults away, I know I will be hung from the rafters for my opinions.
