Product Description:
The foursome come roaring out of the blocks with their latest collection. The album's first single, "Beautiful Day," raced to the No. 1 slot on the U.K. singles charts and received a similar rapturous reception stateside. From its shimmering preamble to its sweeping, infectious chorus, it perfectly stakes out the middle ground between the anthemic U2 of the '80s and the more grounded group of the '90s. With Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno sharing production chores again after having taken a break with Pop, the U2 team enters the new millennium with their lineup--and mission--intact. --Steven Stolder
Customer Reviews:
Welcome back, boys!, 2008-11-29 ALL RIGHT! Those last 2 releases (ZOOROPA and POP) were really testing my patience. This one has its shortcomings (like the drum machine on "Beautiful Day," the opening track. GRRR!), but this is U2 I grew up with back in the 80's. It grows on you too. The first time I listened to it I kept listening for a "Pride" or "One" absolutely stellar single. "Stuck in a Moment" is very good, but not up there with "Sunday Bloody Sunday." And that's fine; the rest of the songs fill in the picture for you. Let us all welcome The Edge as a co-lyricist on a couple of the numbers too! TURN IT UP!
