Vertigo is a great rock song, no doubt, but I have a feeling that it is deceiving in a sense that it gives off the impression to new fans (and maybe old) that this is a fun, balls out rock and roll record in the same mold as Jet (terrible band) or the Hives (pretty good band).....it is merely the teaser, the hook to reel everybody in
in my opinion, the songs that will follow are going to be impassioned, thoughtful, introspective pieces, but somehow retaining a universal appeal. bono has been deeply affected by the aids crisis around the world, the constant fear we all live under because of rampant terrorism, and, above all, the death of his father. this album reflect all of these emotions, experiences.
in short, this is not going to be the "joyous" sounding ATYCLB, or the experimental POP. i hope i am wrong, but i think this is probably their last statement.
i have strayed away from U2 in recent years, prefering other bands, but this will bring me back to where i belong.
(this is my first posting, and you probably think i am full of shit, but i just feel strongly that this is going to be their seminal album. yes, maybe i am wishing for it to be this way.)
