[sunnysideoflove]

october is the weak link

 

[AnCatKatie]

october is the weak link

Scarlet, I Fall Down, and Is That All. The album altogether is most definitely not. Lyrically, maybe. Underappreciated, though, yes.

 

[sunnysideoflove]

only album where its easy to choose two x

 

[AnCatKatie]

*sigh*

I could say the same for ATYCLB...

 

[sunnysideoflove]

lol guess one man's treasure is anothers trash x
i'd pick many from atyclb
kite is phenom....

 

[sunnysideoflove]

vocals are sweet on that album x

 

[AnCatKatie]

I do like that on ATYCLB they were trying to get back to the basic vocals and etc...it wasn't a great time for Bono's voice for them to do that, IMO. The 90s strained him a bit.
