One of their best

Review Score: (10/10)
"ATYCLB" is one of U2's best albums, a pop masterpiece that deserved to have been entitled "Pop." It's as good as "The Joshua Tree," but in a different way, replacing the 1987 album's heart of darkness ("Exit," "Bullet the Blue Sky," "Running to Stand Still") with uptempo classics like "Beautiful Day" and "Elevation."

Simply put, I have listened to this CD virtually nonstop since its release on Halloween 2000. Stick this baby in your CD player while stuck in traffic and you'll realize why U2 have enjoyed such enduring success. They're the best band on the planet.
