Negative Positive
Title: Oh, ARGH...
Review: The appearance of Brian Eno seals it: we're listening to Coldplay as U2 Jr. on this album, and man... it's a crying shame. I thought PARACHUTES was a pretty decent album, and thoroughly enjoyed A RUSH OF BLOOD TO THE HEAD (despite the fact that, at its greatest moments, the latter cribs directly from The Chills' criminally-overlooked masterpiece, 1990's SUBMARINE BELLS); however, if you close your eyes, and allow the stadium-sized vocals and the processed-guitar army of X&Y to overtake you, you can almost see Bono and Edge manifest themselves in your mind. I'd suggest that Mr. Martin and Co. go back to The Chills. We've got way too much U2 in the world as it is.
