Playing it too safe.

Review Score: (2/10)
Well, the members of U2 have finally sold out by playing it safe and stopped being creative with their music in this new album. All the songs are tepid, weak and lack passion from their previous albums such as Joshua Tree and Actung Baby. I even liked their "Pop" album because I enjoyed the new direction they were taking with their music with touches of electronica and with a certain type of groove. This has all ended now and maybe it time for the band to retire at the South of France. I'm sorry I have played it twice and already I am bored!
