Title: Not a masterpiece, but still a great comeback effort
Review: I am simply a casual U2 fan; I don't own their entire catalog or anything like that. This album is not an epic masterpiece in the way The Joshua Tree was, but of all the U2 albums I have heard, this one is the most listenable and satisfying of the bunch. It is the only U2 album I can consistently listen to from start to finish, because I find their other efforts to be, although excellent, somewhat overbearing and best heard in small doses.The band sounds excellent as always on this album, and I think they sound more comfortable than ever. The music seems to flow effortlessly, never becoming ponderous. Lyrically speaking, the album does not seem to have as much of the weighty political and religious references as other records, which contributes to its overall lighter feel.
