Over the ages I grew up with U2. Each album represented a period in my life, from my first car back in high school to videos of my first born dancing to their rhythms and gumming the CD.
So when I heard Coldplay being of a similar kind/sorta sound I was hooked instantly and I’m still listening to their most recent album.
Sorry for the unhelpful review but I just can’t say a bad word about U2

On this album, U2, fronted by Slovakian-born Bono, really fails to reach the heights of previous albums such as “Ghost in the Machine” and “Reggatta de Blanc” which were fused with traditional 1990s sound. Instead, this album sounds distinctly like it was recorded in a tin can somewhere near a noisy train track. The rest of the band is comprised of British males and females with names like Slick, The Edj, Simon and Mark McGrath. Honestly this band has failed to get over the lip-syncing scandal on SNL in 2006. I have nothing but the greatest respect for Bono, who has put forth much effort to solve poverty here in the United States. Better luck next time, U2!

U2 is an overrated band. Except for some two tracks in this album the rest is just plain garbage like before. What’s up with all those yoohooo-yeeehaaas in the middle of the songs?

I own every U2 album/CD and have been a huge fan since I saw their first album in a local Christian bookstore. I have every one of their DVDs. I was so excited to see this on pre-order months ago and had to order it.
Although I don’t agree with all their politics (and they feel the need to dialog it into some songs), I still have been able to look past it and appreciate the tunes. Even when Bono pushed for higher taxes for US citizens for his pet projects (and got them), while hiding his income overseas, I still appreciated the tunes.
Then U2 appears at the ’09 inauguration…. and said, “America now exists” (because of Obama). HUH?!?!? Wow! I thought we were a nation before U2 came to our shores, and if U2′s political leanings don’t further screw up America, we’ll be a nation after they leave. They live here, enjoy the fruit of our taxes, and constantly criticize our nation. I have had enough. I cancelled my pre-order a few weeks ago. I am done with U2! I would rather scrub a public restroom than listen to another U2 tune. I don’t care how good (or as some say, bad) the CD is. I care about my country more than any one band.
I think they have become full of themselves and have forgotten that they too, once upon a time, were one of the “dirty people”.

I am a diehard, T-shirt wearing, U2 book owning, embarrass my family kind of U2 fan. I own all and respect (if not love) all of U2′s previous albums. BUT this is the only one I truly wish I could return. I’m not even sure it is U2, unless U2 have decided to put out albums designed to sleep to and sleep through!! It is not only NOT their best work (sorry Bono, but it is possibly their worst album ever. This is just boring, banal, and bland. “Blah Blah Blah” would have been a better title. It doesn’t get better with repeated listening, it just makes me cringe with embarrassment for my beloved U2. Please Bono — stop trying to save the world and save U2! The world has never needed U more than 2 make great music!!!!!!!!!! So get your boots on and put out another album betterthan this one!!!!!!!!!!!!!
