JaraU2
Babyface
Purely by chance, I came across this article. Let's see if I can do this link correctly...
It's on VH-1's page.
The article first rants about balding men shaving their heads. It transitions into Edge's wearing of a beanie. Fair enough. Some people don't like hats or shaved heads. However, instead of ending there, this person, Bob Lefsetz, rants on and on about how bad "Pop" and the PopMar tour were and now safe and boring ATYCLB was. He even says that we shouldn't argue with him - because he highly doubts we could sing more from this album than a few notes of "Beautiful Day."
Although I'm new here, I've read Interference a lot and I know that some of you agree with these sentiments. Some of you loathe "Pop" and others of you have felt ATYCLB was safe. However, I strongly disagree that ATYCLB was "safe." Nor do I feel U2 were resting on their laurels with this album. U2 did tons of experimentation in the 90's, well beyond that of any other artist out there, including Madonna. After all, would Madonna have made "OS1"? To me, ATYCLB represented yet another change for U2 - a reflection of what they were and where they are going. It's not a JT2 or AB2.
Anyway, I thought this article made for a good read and felt some of you might be interested in reading yet another lambasting of poor U2.
