All Of The Songs I Disliked From The Last Three:
1. Crumbs From Your Table - Needlessly preachy, elements stolen from other U2 songs, practically hook-less. Potentially the worst song they'll ever do or have done.
2. Please - see Crumbs From Your Table
3. If You Wear That Velvet Dress - Chris Isaak, nuff said.
4. Miami - like a quickly put together Zooropa track, minus any thought for the audience or attempt at catchiness. Bono's vocals should be buried in the mix more too. It really sounds like he's sitting there sipping a beer while laying his voice down over a temp track that took all of five minutes to make.
5. Original Of The Species - Single version is listenable, this one isn't. A solo Lennon track that goes the obvious route. *yawn*
6. A Man And A Woman - Liked it for the first fifteen listens but that's mostly because I wanted to hear a lot of new U2 since it'd been practically four years with a dry well. There's a reason why it didn't become a live staple...akin to a lot of crap you'd hear on Triple A radio from John Mayer or any of the other nameless, faceless drones that put together semi-soothing, semi-catchy inoffensive pop tunes for the 9-5 office crowd.
7. One Step Closer - Actually a cool little album detour but it's almost like a spoken word piece or skit from a rap album, so I've totally skipped over it since and often forget of its existence.
8. MOFO - I like the remixes, the album one was just a bit undercooked.
9. Last Night On Earth - Here moreso because it's frustrating what it could've been as evidenced in the single version. Still, it's a go-nowhere idea that should've been scrapped.
