Title: U2 comes home
Review: U2 returns to form with their newest effort. Not that the experimental sonics of Zooropa and Pop were a bad thing, but All That You Can't Leave Behind simply has a stronger collection of basic songs than their previous two efforts. This is an album along the lines of Rubber Soul or Beck's Mutations, simple melodies filled with introspection and passion. The background noise hasn't dissappeared, it just lies hidden until the third or fourth listen. Edge's guitar is restrained but masterful. The rythym section is tight. And Bono is at his vulnerable best.
