U2

All That You Can't Leave Behind

Huge dissapointment for a huge U2 fan

Review Score: StarStarStarStarStarStarStarStarStarStar (4/10)
I loved 80s U2, Joshua Tree, Under a Blood Red Sky, Unforgettable Fire and I never wanted U2 to change their sound. But then came Achtung Baby and then Zooropa and I realized that great musicians make great music even if they are experimenting with their sound. And of course if you have Bono writing the lyrics you can rest assured the songs will have heart. So when ATYCLB came out I couldn't wait to hear how U2 had re-invented themselves yet again. But I am so dissapointed, its shocking really - no matter how many times I try to like this disc I just can't. The fact I can tolerate Beautiful Day is probably because it gets so much airplay on radio. Several of the songs like 'Walk On' and 'Peace on Earth' are alright but this disc does not sit in my CD changer like Achtung Baby and Joshua Tree, it just sits on my CD rack silently.

On top of all this, 2 of these tracks made it onto their 2nd best of disc when other actual classics of the 90's like 'Please' and 'The Fly' could have been included. The sound of these 2 included tracks on their best of disc just don't seem to fit with the rest of the classic material.

I only hope U2 goes back to experimenting with their sound on their next venture.
