Title: Almost perfect
Product review: Although this album isn't quite the rock 'n roll blowout that it seems some people were expecting, it is so articulate and well-crafted that any U2 fan will appreciate it. It's definitely more suited to an adult crowd than teenagers, so I wouldn't be surprised if this doesn't fare as well as some other recent releases. But don't miss out on this simply because it might not be #1 on the charts. Bono's ability to communicate emotional experiences so universally is amazing, and the Edge's ability to reflect that with a guitar is unique to this band. Although "One Step Closer to Knowing" and "YAHWEH" seem a little unpolished and hastily done, the rest of the songs more than compensate. If you don't buy the album, be sure to download "City of Blinding Lights", "Sometimes You Can't Make it on Your Own" and "Crumbs From Your Table". Certainly not the best U2 record, but definitely one of the best records of the year.
