Hallucination

There's is no need for me to rediscover it. I litsen to it all the time still. It's my second favorite U2 album.

Not necessarily!!!

Blah, that's too obvious of a position. Face it, some opinions/tastes are better/more objective than others. That's why experts exist.
There's such a thing as a subjectitity to objectivity ratio. You can't tell me all people have the exact same ratio. So, clearly some people have more objectivity to their tastes than others.

Who are the experts to tell me if this or that music is good or bad?
Baby, you're completly wrong!
Yes, expets are needed. One thing is to say what is better or worse by the point of lyrics, musical composition, production, mixing, the concept of an album or even the cultural impact in it. Another thing is your personal taste and if something sounds good to you or not, or if you really enjoy that stupid bubblegum pop-song of if that masterpiece of rock enerves you...
HTDAAB is a great album... for me the best one. Not even gona tell again why in this forum

Trying to convince someone that your opinion is better than their opinion is just egotistic ignorance, and arrogant as all hell. It's an opinion, that's all.

What about all the good people who have been convinced that their opinion was ill-informed? You can't tell me that no subjectively deduced opinion has not ever been changed due to persuasion. It's called seeing the world beyond the prism of yourself and some people do that better than others.
Put it this way. What's the difference between Matchbox Twenty and Sigur Ros? Who's better? I'm sure you'll say neither is better because it's all subjective and then we can all hold hands and pretend that we love each other.
The person who has taken the time and effort to fully relate to the 2 groups will have a much better 'taste' for the 2 than the ones who spout off without having really efforted to relate to the one they dislike.
On a side note, don't worry about offending me. If we weren't offending each other, we wouldn't be having an intelligent discussion----lol. I'm glad to have brought out the fire of your exposed nerve. Now, we're buddies for the rest of our Interference life.

Havn't you ever been turned on to some sort of art from the taste of another? Hasn't somebody else's opinion of something made you stop and think 'I get it, now'? If not, that's very sad.
Experts can be anybody who really relate to whoever or whatever it is they're analyzing. Your neighbor might truly relate to Radiohead and Coldplay. If that's really the case, then they become an expert on the 2 when comparing and contrasting the effectiveness of their work.
Objective minds will realize this expertise and hopefully learn something from your neighbor. Of course, some will think that they are experts, also and choose to argue with your neighbor and that's when the real fun starts----lol.

Why did I hate this album so much? Maybe it was because I compared it to the AB, JT and UF, which in my opinion now, is quite unfair. When this album is judged on its on merit, it stands alone as a collection of really strong songs.
ah, so hence the "cheesy" evaluation on the lyricozeeko said:I didn't know it had to by 'my' baby. That's not what it says in the lyrics. Actually I was running through the park and I wanted to smell what freedom was like, so I picked up a strange baby, sniffed it, and it spit up on me.

i can't believe...SYCMIOYO is totally over-produced. imo they killed the song with the sweet and sickly sound. ONE is champions league. ONE is fresh and airy and has the space to breeze, but SYCMIOYO suffocates on the production. imo its one of the worst songs U2 ever recorded together with THTBA, ELECTRICAL STORM + SWEETEST THING. a big part of the so called bomb is exsanguinous compared to other U2 albums. i just don't like that album. its my opinion.
