U2 are at their best when they don't care about the hit single. Since they made Thrill Me Kiss Me, which was a hit non sounding U2 song, though it seems they want one non sounding U2 commercial hit per album. ATYCLB is an excellent album. Elevation though, singing about a mole just brings it down a notch. HTDAAB is their worst album ever made but Vertigo is like Elevation #2. However it's much better. Get on Your Boots could have been great but parts of is suck, You dont know how beautiful you are.

To come back to the "new" album, I believe it is finished! Now they are enjoying their holidays, not working on anything, biking, getting married, etc...... when they will come back from holidays, the U2 machine will start moving, I'm pretty sure about it. Early september we will hear something. Just my own logical thoughts

For those of us graying at the temples like myself: we tend to soften with age. We don't have the same piss and vinegar we did in the our mid 20s and early 30s. I guess that would also affect ones artistic expression. The fact that the lads are still even trying makes me feel blessed. There are exceptions but even James Hetfield has been crucified by loyal fans for softening up Metallica. If B and the lads read some of this thread often (doubt it) then it's no wonder we get Greatest hits tours so to speak. The know they can't keep the hardcores happy.

A photon torpedo? Seriously? A self propelling, underwater beam of light?

If U2 doesn't release an album soon, I'm going to sue them for driving me to finally walk myself right on into a permanent banning from this...cesspool.

I fully understand that bono will be writing less about teenage angst and the loss of his mother and more about parenthood, marriage and old guy stuffs. Where I disagree is with the political aspects of bono's lyrics... the band of Sunday Bloody Sunday, New Year's Day, Bullet The Blue Sky, etc. haven't written a powerful political song since Please in 1997... in the middle of an incredibly changing and controversial political and socioeconomic climate. In that sense, I believe, as most do, that Bono's political work has softened the edge of his political lyrics. |

Nah, toothless (and quite boring) rhetoric. Ditto Crumbs. Those two numbers could have made very pointed statements (and, yes, Native Son as well), but got lyrically castrated. Whether or not Bono was aware of it, there's no doubt he compromised his voice by hobnobbing with too many power players.
