Holy beJeebus. I can still remember that the week my family and I were going to Las Vegas for something. (possibly my older brother's nationals track meet or whatever) my mom bought the CD beforehand, and we listened to the whole thing on the way there. Good times. I can't wait for their next album!
Hard to believe it was 5.5 years ago now, the singles still seem so fresh, it really is an under-rated album, granted it doesn't flow toghether like say Joshua Tree or Achtung Baby, but in parts it is great, not all of it, but it does have many good songs: Walk On, Kite, Stuck, Peace on Earth, Beautiful Day are all amazing songs, granted the others aren't really up to par.
Seems so bloody long ago!! The first U2 album I bought and I loved it start to finish! Reminds me of quite a lot but also makes me feel really OLD [SOMEHOW!!] for some bizarre reason!
