U2 was the first music act I grew to love over 20 years ago and to this day I'm always highly anticipating any new music from them. The only two times they have ever let me down with their music was when they released "Zooropa" (*shudders*) and Pop. Unfortunately their new release, their 12th, almost made a third time that I was disappointed. To me this album has too many tracks that just mediocre. The album seems to be quite moody, skipping back and forth from up tempo songs and slower tempo songs. Occasionally there are some odd lyrical references such as "Juju Man" and "Cock-a-Tude" both of these featured in the song "Breathe". The only two tracks that stands out for me is "Get On Your Boots" and probably one of new all time U2 favorite songs "Magnificent". I can only recommend this new album to hardcore U2 fans while casual U2 fans should probably skip it.
