That thread is a ghosttown, though
I think Grace is really well performed. The lyrics are simplistic and nursery rhymey, but "when she walks down the street you can hear the strings" is a great line, and this finish is beautifully written IMO:
What once was hurt
What once was friction
What left a mark
No longer stings
Because grace makes beauty
Out of ugly things
Most importantly, I think the music and production are gorgeous. Eno really hit that one out of the park, and it's pretty much all his show on that track.
Grace is very nice.... FOR ME TO POOP ON!

I even like Wild Honey.
What kind of pooch did you get?
A puggle (pug/beagle) that was rescued from a kill shelter.
Agreed. The verses are great. The rest is meh.The only redeeming parts of Unknown Caller for me are the verses. It's not groundbreaking, but it's probably the most interesting guitar work Edge does on what is easily his weakest album. I like that "Talk Show Host" tone he has in that first verse as well as the tone in the second verse Laz mentioned. But yeah, other than that, I really don't like it.
I think this verse is great too.I don't dislike all of the lyrics either. It starts off great:
In New York freedom looks like too many choices
In New York I found a friend to drown out the other voices
Voices on the cell phone
Voices from home
Voices of the hard sell
Voices down the stairwell
In New York, just got a place in New York
Having just heard ATYCLB the other day, two things stood out to me:
1. I hate the production. You can hear all of the instruments, but it's all so overdone and artificial sounding despite being a supposed back to basics record.
When I Look At The World is still one of my favorite songs from last decade. That guitar solo is jaw dropping.
It's "not afraid to cry", dumbass.
Friggin'.
Didn't know the man plagiarized himself.
Weak sauce.
