Title: The Forgettable Embers
Review: well, die hard fans must be pretty hard up. calling this the best album since Joshua Tree or Achtung Baby is absurd. at best, it sounds like U2 put a compilation of "B" sides for release. oh, but they did that 2 years ago and it was more satisfying! What happened to the songs that left to wanting more like "With or Without You" & "Where the Streets Have No Name". What happened to the wail Bono's voice as in "One", "Pride" or "ULTRA Violet". What was always great about U2 was it's ability to be innovators and at the leading edge of progressive music. Even POP was a better album, if only because of it's inventive & exploratory nature.i would imagine Daniel Lanois is wishing he would have better spent his time producing "Red Dirt Girl" with Emmy Lou Harris.i feel badly about this harsh review, but i was so let down! i'm a big fan of U2's music, but i was more satisfied with "Million Dollar Hotel" than this.
Is the review positive or negative?
