Negative Positive
Title: Very forgettable, not even a spark much less a fire
Review: U2 has managed to hang onto their massive popularity for a good long time now, with passing decades and styles. For that I give them credit. Obviously they know full well what they are doing and do not need my support. However, as a music fan, I'm still not sold on the music that U2 are peddling these days. In stark comparison to their '80's pomp-rock classics, their current work seems soulless, lifeless and even worse, just plain dull. There isn't any of the anger that defined (to me, anyway) their sound. A good friend explained to me that an aging millionaire can no longer sing the blues. That rings true enough insofar as either of us know. But that also doesn't mean that the music will mean as much. It doesn't, not at all. U2 are now a fairly pleasant pop rock band, nothing more, in my opinion.
Is the review positive or negative?
