I would qualify this with an "IMHO", and also, I think perhaps they couldn't have made Passengers the way they did if they had done so under the name U2. The possible relative lack of perceived expectation (plus Eno's involvement, obviously) might have given them the freedom they needed to make some amazing music that doesn't fit into "rock 'n' roll". I love everything on that CD (although Miss Sarajevo not as much as the others, and I have to be in the right mood to enjoy United Colours).An Cat Gav said:Pop IS a great album.
October is a great album.
Passengers is a GREAT U2 album.
Other things I probably shouldn't admit:
I hate it when people use the words "under-rated" and "over-rated" when expressing an opinion here. JT is not over-rated - you just don't like it as much as a lot of other people. Equally, October is not under-rated - you just like it more than a lot of other people do. Why be upset over a simple difference of opinion?? Using those words seems (to me) like people are trying to back up their opinions with an official-sounding word that carries an implication that, because they are in the minority, their opinion must be more valid.
I don't see the point in spending so much time posting negative comments about U2. Okay, I know I've said that ATYCLB is my least-favourite album, but I don't feel the need to post whole threads about the worst songs, the worst albums, which band members suck, which tours suck, which of Edge's hats/beanies suck... I mean, why??
I am fully aware that no one cares what my opinion is - and despite the act of hypocrisy that is my posting this post, I feel a great sense of futility when I think about replying to a lot of the threads in EYKIW, and often don't bother. I also don't (often) feel the urge to publicly disagree with people about U2, nor to try to change their opinions, or defend my own opinions.
Why are people so unkind?
I think Larry is the least attractive one in U2.
I also have a horrible suspicion that Edge's goatee is painted on.
