Title: Where's U2 gone...?
Review: U2 is one of my all-time favorite bands, and even if they retire today, or make music that is nothing less than horrific from here on, that won't change. It was with no shortage of excitement that I grabbed up a copy of "All That You Can't Leave Behind" back in October of 2000, but the result was severely underwhelming. Apart from some of their earliest albums, this is my least-used U2 disc. I know the critics are ranting and raving, and have been since its release nearly two years ago, but I'm left with a sour taste in my mouth. Where are those guys that gave us "The Joshua Tree," "Rattle and Hum," and "Achtung Baby"? This stuff is just a little too formless and boring. I can only hope that U2's next offering will feel like, well, U2. This is only a decent album - and I know the guys can do better. I've heard it.
Is the review positive or negative?
