Best. Album. Ever.
Vertigo and ABOY ROCK. We'll probably see that they have depth once we look closer, but right now, they are simply fantastic rockers you can play some wild air guitar to. ABOY is the perfect song for a 25-year-old band making its first album, "I'm alive, I'm being born/I just arrived, I'm at the door/Of the place I started out from/And I want back inside."
LAPOE is mindblowing. It rocks like HMTMKMKM, it's distorted like Zooropa, and it's the best political rocker since Bullet The Blue Sky. It's got everything I like in a song, and I just can't help but leap around my room to this one. Another brilliant air guitar song! I'm also loving the "uh-huh, uh-huh" parts.
Crumbs From Your Table! What an absolute gem! It initially didn't strike me at first, but on about the third or fourth playing, it reeled me in and it's now one of my absolute favourite songs on the album. It has arguably the best lyrics on the album and I love the politics. Heck, I plain love political U2.
SYCMIOYO and OOTS! Now there are two emotionally powerful songs with amazing vocal efforts from Bono. I particularly cannot wait to hear OOTS live. One Step Closer is the perfect song to precede it in the tracklist, and it's such a wonderfully soothing, subtle, atmospheric song that seems to have come straight out of UF. It's the Promenade or Heartland of the album and it's definitely like a good wine. Savour the rich texture and subtly beautiful flavour of this song.
Yahweh! I don't know what to say about this song, though it seems Yahweh has had something to do with how good it is (ha, ha, bad pun). It's uplifting but realistic; passionate and true. One of U2's best album closers - while I love songs such as MOTD, Love Is Blindness, and WUDM, I prefer this one because it is uplifting (though get me in a negative mood and I may change my tune). Right now, I feel the only song that could possibly be considered a better album closer is 40.
A Man And A Woman is probably my least favourite song, and yet I only consider four ATYCLB songs to be better: Beautiful Day, Walk On, Kite, and TGBHF. I can imagine on a slightly cool, refreshing summer day, I'd really enjoy playing this song loud. I enjoy playing it loud now! It has some really neat lyrics and it's just so awesome. It's fun but it has its feet firmly planted on the ground, and it's not a throwaway song like Wild Honey. It's most certainly worth repeating.
And I've saved my two current favourites until last ... MIRACLE DRUG! CITY OF BLINDING LIGHTS! These are easily two of the best songs U2 have ever made. Miracle Drug is the best song made since 1987 by anyone. "God I need your help tonight" and then THAT GUITAR! THEN EDGE SINGS! AAAHHH, WHAT A SONG! It's perfection in 3:58! This is the kind of song you could play forever and never tire of hearing. City Of Blinding Lights ... it's as if the epic nature of Streets merged with the anthemic power of Pride and created a work of total brilliance. The music is absolutely beautiful, the chorus gets me on my feet, singing at the ceiling, and it's just ... oh, so wonderful, so brilliant. I cannot wait to hear this song live!
I love How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, I really do. I was expecting a pretty good album; I NEVER expected it to blow me away. I cannot believe these four men in their forties have just topped all their previous work. It's as if they have taken my favourite elements of UF and JT, put them together, and then created this new album that is nothing short of genius. Being able to place ABOY and OSC two songs apart and have neither feel out of place is a mighty fine feat.
Best. Album. Ever.
Don't push me man! I'm crazy!
