Peace on Earth is a good song.
Me too.
I love the watery guitar (always reminded me of Jimmy Page on Down By The Seaside), Larry’s drumming on the chorus really pops. And I don’t know why some dismiss it as maudlin because there’s certain bitterness to Bono’s vocal, seen most obviously in the way he spits out the title near the end of the song, as if he’s disgusted at where the world is. And I think when you consider the context of the lyrics and what inspired this song, it’s very close to home for the band, and I do find the invocation of the murdered children’s names to be powerful and moving.
Why anyone would call this overwrought or whatever and then give a pass to Kite is beyond me.
My favorite song on the album has always been New York. Yes, I know the lyrics are clunky. But the melody is solid and music is fantastic and the direction I wish they’d gone more going forward from there.

Boots and The Miracle (and even Vertigo to an extent) feel so labored by comparison. Elevation feels like it was made for fun.
