Title: A major disappointment
Product review: U2's latest effort is a major disappointment, particularly when coming off the heels of All That You Can't Leave Behind. In retrospect, what could the band have done to improve on what they have already released? The tracks here, short of Vertigo, are slow, ill-paced and repititous. Vertigo, the "iPod" single, is itself very repititous and meandering, although it does maintaint an upbeat presence missing on the rest of the album. This is an album for only die-hard U2 fans. Don't buy into the hype if you are actually looking for ongoing, listenable music. Try All That You Can't Leave Behind or The Joshua Tree as much better examples of what this band is capable of (even Pop is a better album than this).
