Negative Positive
Title: Zzzzzzz...nothing noteworthy about this album,
Review: Perhaps the truest test of any good band is their ability to acknowledge that the well has run dry. U2 is apparently either straining water from mud, or aimlessly wandering the field with a divining rod, because their well has definitely dried up. After successfully demonstrating that they had the ability to push their music in any direction they wished, they release this latest "effort", a collection of uninteresting drivel. The songs are shapeless, and not in a good way. It's like eating an entire box of wet saltines at one sitting...it's mushy, bland, and it makes you yearn for just about anything else.Their passion is obviously dead, possibly because they are too wealthy to care anymore. It's sad that it has happened, but the the unforgettable fire that used to be a part of every U2 song, is now completely extinguished.
Is the review positive or negative?
