I'm a big fan of ATYCLB, I know some don't like it, but for me it's one of U2's best, most enjoyable listens. That is, until Grace comes on...
Grace is just a right stinker. It is so incredibly boring. That is it's biggest offence. It's one of it's only offences really, but it is such a huge offence that I feel it seems so out of place on this album. Or any album really. It seems like a very lazy closer, and should have been a B-Side at best.
They should have closed the album with "Always". That would have been epic. I love that song. I know it's an early version of Beautiful Day, but if BD opened the album and Always closed it, then it would work very nicely!
So yeah, does anyone actually even like Grace?
