Title: U2 IS THE REAL THING...
Review: Waiting for the laughing gas? :) Kings of reinventing themselves and progressing with the times and music of the present period without compromising artistic integrity, alienating former fans, or offending critics. This is U2, who is arguably one of the best bands of all time. Prolific, experimental, and even chameleonic at times. I say this confidently, although I have distanced myself from my adolescent obsessive-U2-fan years (must have been over a decade ago), and I can appreciate the music as an adult. This album is a carefully constructed, vivid portrait with excruciatingly good songs like "One", "Until the End of the World", "Mysterious Ways", and "Love is Blindness". Lyrics are typically brilliant, meaningful, and fitting, and of course, the music, although driven in a new direction, is still the biting, pressing, and ever-wonderful U2 we all know and love.
