Artistically.
How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb has a huge amount of style in them, but they don't experiment.

Yep... no experimentation in L&PorE or "Fast Cars". And let's not forget about the "brilliant" experimentation in "Staring at the Sun", "If God Will Send...", "Discotheque", "Please", etc. People seem to think of AB and "Pop" as some experimental masterpieces. AB has almost nothing but "verse, chorus, verse, chorus", yet no one complained then. And there's TONS of classic U2 sound on "Pop", yet no one seems to recall that.
I really need to go to this world of "selective memory of U2 fans". It must be a fantastic place.

jick said:U2's career is on a certain trajectory. They have been in the ballgame for 25 years. I think to argue that they still have 25 more productive years is absurd. To argue also that U2's trajectory is still going up and they are going to reach greater heights than any of their previous past glories of the 80s and/or 90's is likewise absurd.
I'd say in their career trajectory, U2 have already gone past the apex and are already in the downward descending trajectory. The only reckoning point I'd want to pose to you guys, is when exactly did U2 start going downhill for you? When did their trajectory shift from ascent to descent?
Cheers,
