You Sure Can Leave It Behind

Review Score: (4/10)
A bland and average set of innofensive rock songs, "All That You Can`t Leave Behind" has little to recommend. While there`s nothing truly horrible here, most of the moments are merely passable and far from memorable. "New York" is probably the best track, and even that is far from stunning. This record offers nothing new to the current music scenario, presenting weak compositions that lack originality and innovation. It certainly doesn`t deserve all the overexposure it got, since it has been awhile since U2 created something truly remarkable and cutting edge. This album may please die-hard fans of the band, but those who search for intriguing music will probably be disappointed.

Passable and forgettable.
