Jeez, some people in here have very strong feelings about ATYCLB.
It's a very "girly" album (even by U2 standards)
A mole!

Diggin up my soul!
Interesting that those who are surprised that my new BFF Cobbler likes ATYCLB because he has good taste in music. As if the two are mutually exclusive.
Like many works of genius, part of ATYCLB's brilliance is in its simplicity. To see that, you have to look with better eyes, and to hear it, you have to listen with better ears. As The Cobster has done.

Joshua Tree is a crap album
U2girl said:Tons of Grammys in 2002, and that they were the unofficial "healing band" for the States. Prolongued popularity of the album as a logic consequence.
U2 wrote ATYCLB knowing that 9/11 was going to happen.

U2 is behind 9/11 all these years.

I think so.Hasn't that been seriously suggested?
What ATYCLB lacks in ingenuity it makes up for in heart.
I suppose, to some though, it's so inoffensive that it becomes offensive. The band isn't breaking any new ground with it, but it's still nice to listen to every once in a while.
The album was already huge well before 9/11. Did it take on another dimension after the tragedy? Yes. Is 9/11 the reason why All That You Can't Leave Behind was successful? Fuck no.
Pop was already written with 9/11 in mind. Just listen to the lyrics for Please.
