A couple of points:
Wanderer, I totally agree with you that the new lyrics are pure and utter crap. However, I don't think it's a big deal at all. Let U2 do what they want with their own songs. It's their right, after all.
As for criticism of the band in general, that's totally cool. I just think that if someone continues to dislike every new thing the band does/puts out, eventually that person will lose interest anyway. Each to their own.
The bottom line is, as Bono once said (in 1982) - and I'm paraphrasing here - people will always expect a lot of things from U2, and people will never get what they expect. To me, that's fine, because that's part of the deal the band and their fans have. The band's music is elastic, and so is the relationship. I have to say, I like it that way.
