Title: Too shallow, too bright
Review: This new album is above all a disappointment after the brilliant "pop" album. "Pop" was dark, full of pain, fear & confusion. U2 tried to experiment with different kinds of electronic music and disturbing rhythms. They captured the chaos of modern times. This new album lacks the seriousness and depth of "pop". The songs about world problems (when I look at the world, peace on earth) don't convince as much as "wake up dead man" on "pop". If you like the more happier music, I suppose this record appeals more than Pop. But if you like the darker, yet richer of meaning, stuff. Go back and listen to Pop. This new one sounds all too familiar. Some songs sound like you heard them before. Are we sure "beautiful day" is a new song ?
