Review Score:

(8/10)
Love how folks come out and declare... "Whatever... is X band's best album." Or, "That One... is X band's worst album". Idiots. First off you're not qualified to rate anything, probably. Is it the worst/best musically? Do you know anything about music - pop or otherwise, to make such a declaration? Do you write? Do you play? Are you in the biz?

Does the popularity of a band matter? (It's too commercial, maaan) Since when does how rich the players are effect the music? More likely, you're trying to be "cool" by being a contrarian. Are you Bono's psychologist? Know him personally, perhaps? For some reason you don't like him (even though you don't know him), and this equates to bad music? Or should I say, music that in your little circle isn't "cool" to listen to. (As if it matters.) If that's the case you're inability to reason relegates you to the status of "simplton", and I would take great pleasure in laughing in your pimpley adolescent face.

Why does everything have to be "rated" anyway? Is it a race? A CD or album is a collection of music, regardless of genre. Everyone has genres, artists, and albums that they prefer over others. This is a matter of individual preference and is a 100% subjective matter if ever there was one. To come out and make declarations like "this sucks" or "that sucks" is as silly and juvenile as it is obnoxious.

As far as this album, it's very much worth a listen. I don't skip any tracks; some I prefer to others. Absolutely worth a listen; well worth buying. Likely to have a high replay value...

... to me.
