Which one?liamcool said:Absolutely despise it, only one song is even near U2's par.
liamcool said:Yes, I do realise that. It's a risk I'm willing to take. I may like everything up to AB, but after that, I feel U2 have been very up and down, AB being their lowest valley.

And that makes you quite possibly the coolest poster here.

Not kissing your ass here Axver, but I generally agree with and respect EVERY post you ever put on here, I even ordered a Dream Theatre Cd on your recommendation, which I loved by the way
but I just can't get my head around why you and Liam hate AB so much, for me it is absolute perfection. It's your opinion and I'm not knocking you or criticizing you just I can't get my head around it ) We agree on everything apart from my favourite album ever!!

Anything that is a personal attack (by personal attack, we also include yawns, rolleyes, etc. that are directly intended to annoy, and are used excessively).

I personally just think AB is bland. It doesn't work, it's like a toned down record. I don't know off the top of my head what it's toned down of (it's on the tip of my tongue) but it just feels very light, there's no weight in the record, I think. Whereas things such as the first few albums (up to and including JT) and Passengers are really good, I don't think much of U2's 90's. It's erratic. Do You Feel Loved is great, but nothing else from Pop stands out as such.

Axver is entitled to his opinion. I'd also like to remind you:

I was merely suggesting that he keeps repeating the same shit over and over again in every thread concerning Achtung Baby. Even Sicy has noticed and commented on this. But I see what you're saying about 'yawns'. It's just... too tempting!
Axver said:certain fans of it around here praise it as if it were made by a collaboration of Jesus, Muhammad, Buddha, and Zoroaster.

ok Ax ok.. just cool it, will ya? Geeeeez!
Axver said:Sorry for the harsh tone, it's late here and I suppose I need sleep. Nonetheless, I think my points stand and I don't appreciate having my opinion derided as "shit" when I try to ensure that my contribution is worthwhile.
Axver said:
Thanks! And I'm glad you enjoyed the CD. Any favourite tunes?
Heh, whereas I can't get my head around why you rank it so highly because it just leaves me feeling empty and disappointed. Thanks for not bashing my stance though; the hostility to Achtung criticism around these parts can suck sometimes.

And you have to admit discussion around here would get really stale if only positive opinions on Achtung were posted regularly. I personally don't see why anyone would not love UF, but people like LemonMelon who dislike it at least keep discussion going and prompt me to further analyse and think about the album.
