War Child
Ok, the record is good. Is it the second coming? No way. I think you should shield yourself from all the reviews and propoganda as those things do ultimately affect your feelings about the record. Here are some things that I have found to be myths.
1. This is a rock record in the vien of War. No way. I really fell for this one after hearing Vertigo. There are only two rock songs on the record (Vertigo & ABOY-one could argue for LAPOE as well.) But the rest of the record is more like Matchbox 20 or something. It's like rock-lite.
2. Edge reinvented the guitar on this record. No. He sounds like the Edge on a U2 record, even moreso than he did on ATYCLB. That's not a bad thing, but just not what I was expecting.
3. Every song on the record is a potential single. No way. I can only see a few of these songs getting any airplay for any amout of time (Vertigo, ABOY, COBL.) The rest of the songs just don't have the life needed to make it on the radio today.
I don't watch movie previews before seeing a film, why I read all the reviews for this record before listening to it, I don't know. But I wish I didn't.
