I'm not seeing how there can be such a big chasm when the thing that sinks American Soul is the lyrics, and Bono isn't singing new lines.
Plus, the fucking megaphone.
So if you ask me it's worse. Sure the instrumental aspects stomp, but that's true of the studio version as well. Now we have cringey lyrics through a megaphone. Spare me.
(At least using the megaphone for American Soul makes a slight bit more sense than for Pride, though.)
This.
The Megaphone is awful. Makes a terrible song even worse.
