No, it isn't, it's a load of sentimental twaddle that even Phil Collins would be embarrassed by. It's a complete embarrassment to every single thing U2 did in the 1980s and 1990s.
This post sucks.

songs like elevation and vertigo are the embarrassment. at least there's some sort of meaning to window in the skies, as much as i dislike it.No, it isn't, it's a load of sentimental twaddle that even Phil Collins would be embarrassed by.

What meaning?
What meaning?
WITS means that despite the singer's faults and mess-ups, love has allowed so many beautiful things (a woman or God primarily; however you like to hear it) to come his way.
The theme reminds me of the last stanza of Jane Kenyon's beautiful "Let Evening Come":
Let it come, as it will, and don't
be afraid. God does not leave us
comfortless, so let evening come.
God does not leave us comfortless.
i've listened to it for the sake of giving it a play on my laptop.
it's pretty inoffensive and on the surface sounds quite nice but overall it's pretty forgettable. it's a completely different u2 from atyclb and hutdab which is something i appreciate, but overall i'm glad it's not a direction they pursued.
I agree on both counts, Niceman.
WITS/Rubin-esque feels like the kind of music for a band as big as U2 to go out on.
Maybe 10 years from now, a poppy/anthemic album full of WITSs and "All My Life"s to cap 40 years of beautiful music.
See, I like ATYCLB and HTDAAB waaaay more than WITS.

A+ post! I actually prefer some Phil Collins songs to WITS. Against All Odds, I Wish It Would Rain Down, Both Sides... .
Thanks for describing possibly the most nightmarish scenario that U2 can go out on.
yeah, I agree, it's pretty. but it sort of feels like a throw away being put on U2 18. oh well.
