At least acchttp://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/03/01/PKAT160GMH.DTLording to this review. reading it makes me cringe, especially the lines that are quoted

I don't mean to be disrespectful of U2, but they're considered The Top Band In The World primarily because all their competitors from the 1980's have disappeared or can barely sell albums anymore (see R.E.M.).

At least according to this review. reading it makes me cringe, especially the lines that are quoted

MAN!!! I just listened to the samples at their website last night.

WHAT...A PIECE...of SH**!!! Where's the hooks? Where's Edge?! I couldn't even hear (or BARELY could) Edge on those tracks! I agree with the reviewer who compared it to Zooropa (not one of my favorites either!) but this is even an insult to Zooropa!

I didn't care for How to Build An Atomic Bomb either, but I at least bought a couple of tracks of it at iTunes.

I'm not buying a single track of this. And I'm a longtime U2 fan. I've been a fan since "Boy".

What a dreary and depressing age we live in.

People who were once (in my opinion) pop/rock genuises can't even get an album right.

It takes multiple listens but it will grow on you. Still not that great, but I'm enjoying more than earlier. I'm the type of U2 fan that thinks their last good album was Pop...

All That You Can't Leave Behind was a decent album...

I have really enjoyed it, and most reviews seem to be highly favorable.

At least R.E.M.'s last album was pretty fantastic.

I bought R.E.M.'s Accelerate and I like it too. Too bad it didn't give them a hit single.

^ Well, "Supernatural Superserious" did make it to 85 on the Hot 100, and 21 on the rock chart, so maybe not a huge hit but at least they got some play. And it was apparently number 1 in Norway...
