Horrible new album in my opinion. Not a single song I like even remotely. In fact listening to the album actually annoys me, they have found a sound that is fundamentally irritating to me on some deep level. lol

At BEST, each song sounds like an inferior version of a song from some other band that is (authentically) far hipper and far cooler today than U2 has been in over 10 years.

I get that you need to listen a number of times to 'get' certain songs but come-on, its U-frikkin-2. If they are so great how can the new Snow Patrol album offer me 4 fantastic songs on the first listen while they offer me 0.

That is just sad for what is supposed to be a mega-band.
