@1621Records Not just this album, sadly. Pop in 97 was their last good album and even that was flawed.
Their 80's/early 90's sweet spot was so good, but quite brief, so it's probably more on me for thinking they could recreate that tbh.
I was hoping that the new U2 album would be a return to form, after the unexpectedly great Easter Lily EP.
It's not, it's mainly shit (apart from about 3/12 tracks) and continues their downward spiral. In all honesty they've not been truly good since the 90's.
@1621Records I'm not that bothered about what they are like as people, same with Radiohead, The Beatles etc. Stuff like that tends to disappoint.
I'm just annoyed that musically it's so uninspiring. "The Greatest Show on Earth" built it up superbly, but the album is a huge amount of "meh".
