Varitek said:I just can't really listen to the last half of the album, WILATW excepted, and WILATW suffers from having a similar tone to the rest of them even if it's a better song. bono doesn't sing well on it though.
New York - most interesting melody of the dreadful 4, but god, stupid lyrics and I am a Bostonian so I have long resented it, even if I actually love living in NY. And the lyrics are utter shit except for the last verse, which is decent but nothing spectacular.
Wild Honey - aforementioned monkey bullshit. crap twangy guitar. wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiild honey whine. ugh.
Grace - oh god. talk about a mix of trite lyrics (see: the last verse) and wtf lyrics (karma) and captain obvious lyrics (name for a girl).
Peace on Earth - I agree that it could have had potential. I might like this best if I think about it, of the 4 shithole songs. But I might like NY best. I don't mind the chorus's lyrics but they could have crescendo'd and been so much more. I don't mind the lyrics really taht much, they are nothing special, though I really dislike the first 2 lines and from there it sort of goes to sleep. The melody is ugh, and Edge could have been doing something really interesting with his guitar.
ATYCLB for the phail
There is the reason my personal ATYCLB mix only features one of those songs - New York.
