Negative Positive
Title: Overrated
Review: Man, what a disappointment. Maybe I listened too much to the hype. I'm a huge U2 fan; if music can change your life, then U2 has done that for me. So for all of you reading this who have scanned the other reviews and see the "return to Classic U2" kind of statements, they are being blinded by nostalgia for what this band used to mean to so many people. In the '80's/early '90's, U2 MEANT something in a way that other bands didn't. They seem like they are trying to reclaim a piece of that legacy on the new CD, but the songs just aren't that great. A couple of tracks are pretty good, and if you like U2 buy the CD anyway, but if you are buying into the "return to the old U2" hype YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED. Lower your expectations and it's a decent CD.
