Negative Positive
Title: Comeback? Hardly....
Review: Why do people consider this a comeback? ...because after the experimentation (and overall more interesting material) of POP, this is WAY more commercial? Must be. I can't think of another reason. This is the sound of a one defiant and confident band pandering to the masses. I wouldn't say the horrible "s" word, but most of this is painfully generic....and what happened to the once brilliant lyrics? That is the biggest crime here. Only a couple of these songs are respectable lyrically...the rest of the band carries what little material works on this set."Kite", "Peace On Earth", "Walk On" and "Beautiful Day" are the strongest because Bono actually made an effort on those....Imagine programming a cd to play only 4 songs on a U2 disc?!?!?Wild Honey is so bad, it actually makes me angry....Overall, a HUGE disappointment.
Is the review positive or negative?
