Title: A Disappointment
Review: I'm a huge U2 fan but this album is a disappointment. The songs are very mediocre by U2 standards and the album, as a whole has none of the passion and heart of past U2 efforts. It is not fair to expect a "Joshua Tree" or "War" every time but they can do better than this. Bono's voice sounds strained and some of his lyrics are just plain bad John Lennon/Beatles rip-offs (not the first time Bono has done this). The Edge's usual great guitar work is also absent here. U2 is a great band and are capable of recording fantastic music but this album is far from great.
