The best U2 album since The Best of 1990 - 2000

Review Score: (2/10)

I know when U2 will release their "new" ( sorry but I can't name this album as a "new" one because it's evident were copied from all that you can't leave behind ) many fans will say "it's the best since achtung baby !!" or "it's the third masterpiece, buy it now", etc because it's hype time once again.

Where's the word NEW in this album ?. This is not a dark album, this is just cheap commercial music for easy teens who listen to Britney Spears, Eminem, etc. Moreover, this album is far from "classic" U2. Word CLASSIC doesn't mean to copy themselves trying to sound like Joshua Tree or Unforgettable fire. That's what happen with this album, they just tried to sound like younger and better times, but they didn't make it. The album just sounds like a bunch of old men without new and fresh ideas to show us. I bet you by 2010 everyone will be listening to their real classics, I mean, Achtung Baby, Joshua Tree, UF, War, Zooropa, Boy, etc. But, like what's happening with All That You Can't Leave Behind, all fans easily will forget this failed bomb.

Sad but true. I've been a U2 fan since 1985, for 20 years. But I can't support this band anymore, specially with all that shameful marketing and Ipod stuff.

Please U2, stop stealing money.
