other than Pitchfork, please show me this poor response. i can't find it anywhere.
Sorry, but I don't believe it. I bet they read that quote from Bono's interview a little while back where he said they'd release an album by the end of the year with the "it has a theme of pilgrimage" line and decided to make an article out of it.
Plus this is U2.

Probably talking about the other "handful" of reviews that have given the album a bad review, out of the many that gave the album the thumbs up.
Fans may enjoy the album, but I think by "poor response" he was talking more about the relative indifference that Get On Your Boots received by the general public, especially when compared to the last two first singles, Beautiful Day and Vertigo.
So, was the reggae thing confirmed false?
So we have no idea.it's a confirmed unconfirmed false rumor.
So we have no idea.
It seems that they are now confirming the rumors that another album will be coming out in '09...

WHY DID BONO/NY TIMES/NME/EVERYONE LIE??? thread
I really don't think my heart could take another Leak Week this year.
I think they are referring to the Perfect FIVE STAR reviews from Rolling Stone and Q magazine.
oh wait...
Yeah - five star reviews from publications that have a vested interest in keeping the biggest rock star/celebrity activist in the world happy enough to continue doing interviews with them. Bono is the guy who famously sent a hand axe to NME for doing a 'hatchet job' on either Achtung or Zooropa (can't remember). Do you think David Fricke or the guys at Q want to deny themselves access to U2 by crapping on a new album? If you're a big artist, like U2, Springsteen, Dylan, etc., you're pretty much guaranteed a good review, because you're good for circulation.
