U2's new album...
 

..is good :nod: !
Just got it today..(store's almost sold out already :eek:!)..anyway,yes it's good,which I guess you can always expect U2 to be.
'Vertigo' really is the only dud on the album (sorry anyone who likes it,I just think it's an awful song :p )..the rest of the album is really different..very laid back.It does sound like a distant relative of All That You Can't Leave Behind which to me is a little disappointing.I wish they'd continued to experiment more after 'Pop',but I guess that would've been REALLY left of field.
The only other negative thing about the album is Bono's vocals in some parts. They sound shredded. A good example of this is when you compare Bono's part in the old 'Do They Know It's Christmas?' band aid song from 1984 with the new one..what a difference! I guess it's natural though..age and all.
I get the feeling that there'll be a disappointment for some with this album..there certainly aren't any songs on it that leap out as 'single' material,it's all very similar in it's sound (almost over-produced IMO.) but
the overall product great :nod:

Thanks for the review, Bryan. I have it on my Christmas wish list. I love U2. They can do no wrong in my eyes. :laugh: I actually love "Vertigo". And I hope my husband gets the hint that I WANT this CD! :laugh:
