Title: Ego is what you can't leave behind, Bono
Review: Although I think the singles are very good, I had to give this album 1 star on principles alone. For that I apologise.In the early nineties, Bono accepted an MTV award for best alternative band with a speech ending "...an we will continue to f...-up the mainstream". Well, it seems that quite the opposite has occurred. The band is getting critical praise for retreading old areas and avenues!!! The album is safe and commercial and will no doubt serve Bono's ego fix after the unpopular PopMart tour. Shame for giving in to market forces.It would be nice of them to retire now, at their peak, but I know this won't happen. We'll just have to watch a slow and painful death of a band over the next 5 to 10 years.Boo!
Is the review positive or negative?
