I love everything about Rise Above, I cannot get it out of my head since the first time I heard it, and I had been sceptical about that Spiderman stuff. I'm proud of Bono and Edge that they pulled this thing through despite all the nay-sayers and nasty critics. They should go out of their way, do side projects, expand their musical horizon. It's not U2, it's Broadway, and the music is pretty damn good. There's no song on the soundtrack that I don't like at all. Some are weaker, for sure, but there is some very strong stuff on there as well. Rise Above is great, love Bono's voice, like the lyrics, hell, I even like that Carney guy. It's such a catchy tune. My favourite line is: In a time of treason/is there time for trust.
I hope Spiderman will be a huge success for everyone involved. Enough with the bashing.
