HTDAAB is the only album of theirs that I've taken completely out of my library.

ATYCLB has the weakest songs of any U2 album.
I like October.
I just think the songs are stronger. Obviously, lyrically, October is not particularly strong, but Bono's lyrics have been almost universally bad since Pop, with a disappointingly small number of exceptions. Musically, October's definitely better, as much of ATYCLB is just plain boring.Well are we talking "songs" in terms of writing, or the actual finished products?
I'd find it hard to argue that Cocktober is a better-written album, for one because it's not very sophisticated, and second because Boner had to make up all new lyrics after losing the originals.
If one wants to say that the clarity of Lillyliver's production on the older album is superior to the hodge-podge team on HTMAAS, I can get behind that. The rockers have nowhere near the vitality of something like GloryHole.
I'm comparing it to ATYCLB, not HTDAAB, by the way.
That the sum of the parts being better than the whole is its major flaw...
Although it would have been cooler if it had been something off of No Code or Yield.
You guys have any guesses for what might show up in the Top 10? I'm bored. I know cobbler predicted Paranoid Android earlier. That's not a bad guess at all, IMO.
