Pros: Good blend of 80's/90's U2 sounds, plus the willingness to try some offbeat experiments. Cons: Revisiting their 90's experimentation only reminds us that this ain't Achtung Baby.
I really should know by now not to go into a new U2 album with unfairly high expectations. I've found that reasonably good expectations can cause me to respond better to an album of decent, but not timeless, quality with more of an open mind than ...
Pros: 3-4 good songs, Adam Clayton's bass playing, some great lyrics Cons: unmemorable songs, mailed in performances, no direction, lacks cohesion
Expectations are a funny thing, especially with music. I think that the lead single for an album ultimately dictates how high expectations are set. Put out something that knocks people on their collective a*ses and expectations rise ...
Pros: Some Moments in the Production, Musicianship, Arrangements, Vocals, Some Good Songs, & Lyrics. Cons: Overly-Polished Production, Lazy Performances, Silly Lyrics, Overbearing Messages, Lack of Cohesive Direction.

At this point, the praise for any new U2 record being their best since the legendary Achtung Baby album is redundant. It's been done to death. First they released Zooropa, which was their best since Achtung Baby mainly because it couldn't possibly be ...
Pros: Refreshing songs, a change in direction, one for the fanatics. Cons: Some U2-by-numbers work, will never be given a fair go
I'll preface this review by saying I am a big-time U2 fan. I own all their albums, and DVDs. But since about 06, I've been broadening my horizons (no pun intended). Mostly because we fans knew we had a big wait ahead of us.Almost released in ...
Pros: Consistent excellence a more experimental sound; Bono's outstanding vocals. Cons: Could they have been even more radical? Possibly yes.
“Re-start and re-boot yourself” Bono sings on the trippy Unknown Caller. It might not be his most elegant line but it sums up U2s aims on this their 13th record and their best of the decade. No matter what the cynics say, it is as ...
