Very safe album....only a few good songs

Review Score: (6/10)

U2 have not been sell out? U2 are not robbing to their fans? it's time to draw the line: Just visit www.u2.com That page is the clearest example of which U2 have become. A company with aims of profit, able to sell every single crap as possible, even a stupid interview done by the same page. Other sites U2-related ( unnofficials ) have updated information much more quickly, offer videos for FREE, COMPLETE songs, live MP3, interviews, etc. EVERYTHING FOR FREE. But on www.u2.com they only offer all that material with an extra charge ( so much expensive, by the way ). The people whom don't have credit cards obtain delayed informations - with very poor quality - , 30 seconds of a crappy "new" video clip that in other sites can be seen COMPLETE several days earlier, etc. Memberships ( who pay for all that stuff ) are charged twice for the same thing. "U2 aren't sell outs"...

For worse, I'm fond of bootlegs. I have more than 300 ones, and I had always collected them. Since among fans there's a special brotherhood, we shared unofficial sfuff - without selling it of course... until U2 had the stupid idea that bootlegs had to be sold by them. The interchange finished, now people must pay for bootlegs like "New Year's Concert 1989" and many others we already had. Thus that's going to be in their next tour, where we won't be able to share music anymore... isn't all that "selling outs ?".

What more want U2? they have EVERYTHING, all the money they want, all the fame they want, all the awards they want, all the cover magazines they want, but that's not enough for them. They signed an horrible agreement with iPod and Apple Tunes, in where even it's necessary to pay for all those songs 1980 - 2002 that already we had !!. isn't "selling outs ?".

Did you listen to their lastest presentations ? they have been all performances of third category. The band doesn't have any energy on the stage, Bono sings terrible, with a hoarse, rough and very poor voice. The songs sound boring, flat, filler, specially the new ones... and more above they dare to charge to listen to them ! they would have to pay us to have to stand those performances instead !. Yet are you going to pay 150 dollars for a seat ?. This blind subordination to U2 doesn't have any sense. If you allow them todo everything they want, to charge everything what they want, no matter that they ignore to you as person, you are completely lost way my friends.
