War Child
I think HTDAAB is my least favourite album, for a variety of reasons, but there are a few things I like about it.
For me, despite its unpopularity on Interference, 'Sometimes You Can't Make It' is the albums one enduring triumph, more so than COBL. Lyrically I think its probably Bono at his most direct and he actually sounds as if he really cares about what he's singing, he's totally in the moment and not spinning metaphors, something which I felt he tended to do on some of the other big-hitters on the album. I like the falsetto lines too, I think they give the song an eerie character all of its own.
I'm also grateful to the album as it led to the Vertigo tour, which was perhaps the bands strongest and most consistent tour since ZOO TV.
Anything you like about your least favourite album.
