Slow and boring, yet powerful.
I didn't really dig this Album that much. The songs were songs you put on to fall asleep in the backseat of Dad's car. It's just so dull. Yeah, the lyrics are pretty bomb, and I'm not saying it's bad, because U2 obviously made themselves sound like this...It just isn't up my alley, I suppose. I know there is a better Album than this somewhere, but I could have avoided this one, and I was a bit reluctant to do a write up on it because I just didn't really have the wonder and amazement that some Albums give me. There really is just no good rhythm.
But that might just be me.
