yes, the flames are going to come fast and furious on this one.
but to be honest...i don't think HTDAAB is all that great. i mean, sure, when it first came out, i exclaimed that it's the best thing since AB and that it's one of my top 3 or 4 U2 albums, but that was because of the newness, the excitement.
and sure, i played my copy non-stop for weeks after i got it.
but now i think it's merely mediocre. sure, there are some good songs on there, but they seem just all randomly thrown together, the production is wicked bad on some of them, and overall i just don't find anything that really excites me anymore.
i'd put this one now, after having the novelty wear off, at slightly above the level of October, about where Zooropa is.
i just think the parts do not add up to a great sum.
