DaveC said:yes, the flames are going to come fast and furious on this one.
but to be honest...i don't think HTDAAB is all that great. i mean, sure, when it first came out, i exclaimed that it's the best thing since AB and that it's one of my top 3 or 4 U2 albums, but that was because of the newness, the excitement.
and sure, i played my copy non-stop for weeks after i got it.
but now i think it's merely mediocre. sure, there are some good songs on there, but they seem just all randomly thrown together, the production is wicked bad on some of them, and overall i just don't find anything that really excites me anymore.
i'd put this one now, after having the novelty wear off, at slightly above the level of October, about where Zooropa is.
i just think the parts do not add up to a great sum.

I take back what I said, then. Apologies. You have to admit though, when you quote someone's entire post and then write 'How old are you?' without adding any sort of context, it DOES seem like a cut. Unfortunately, it's a limitation of the internet - I couldn't read the inflection in the question. Thanks for clearing that up, man.

Yep gotta agree with ya, have being saying so for the past month or so. But I wouldn't put it with Zooropa cos that is a far more exciting album musically wise. It is pretty medicore and compared to their best albums it don't come close. The mixing/production is terrible on certain tracks (COBL certainly) and a lot of the material doesn't do much for me (Miracle 'Day', COBL, All Because Of 'Desire', Crumbs I still havent found your table' and A Man Bland A Woman' to name the main bores). But overall its an average album that is selling like hot cakes in the UK, already sold a million over here. Oh well at least its making them plenty of more money!

the only thing that approaches greatness on this record is City of Blinding Lights.

I totally understand. It did look sarcastic.
Jamila said:I have not been part of this "discussion" but I guess what I don't understand is: when have we all become such great musicians and songwriters that we can feel sufficiently justified in criticizing U2's music or anyone else's?
