I gave it a listen since I grew up with U2’s first albums and still liked their music through the '90s (it’s of course hard for people today to imagine U2 being young and fresh in a world of overproduced pop music, but that’s really what they were in the early '80s). I’m quite accustomed to music that gets better the more you listen to it, but that forced U2 album got worse every time.
My favorite line was “Every sailor knows / That the sea / is a friend turned enemy”. Bono, nobody fucking sails any more, or even grew up knowing old people who once sailed.
You leave U2 alone!
U2 asked for it when they forced their album onto everyone with an iTunes account.
