Title: Some Stuff U2 Left Behind
Review: Ahem... I know I other reviewers will give me heck for this review but I have been a fan for a very long time and this is just not all that everyone is cracking it up to be. "The third masterpiece," as Rollingstone magazine claimed it, is way unfounded. True, 'Beautiful Day', 'Grace' and 'When I Look at the World' are good songs and worthy of being on a U2 release. But what the heck has happened to Bono's lyrics? The bubblegum that fills up 'Elevation' and 'Wild Honey' makes me want to stuff my ears. I laugh at myself for saying this but there is just too much Bono on this record.I know it's unfair to say "I liked them better when they were _______." but their latest release, depsite its pleasant re-direction in sound, is nothing more than tidy little song structure with little heart and a catchy hook here and there. Heck, Edge encourages us to go download the whole thing. I encourage it too.
Is the review positive or negative?
