Just because you are political, doesn't mean that you are annoying. Just because you layer on the sounds, doesn't mean you are pretentious. Just because you had your peak early in your career, doesn't mean you can't continue to put out strong albums. This band has stood the test of time. They have grown and experimented and remain at their core a great rock band. I always come away from one of their concerts with an renewed appreciation for their talents and their passion. Each album brings new pleasures and repeated listening deepens that enjoyment. They are one of the great bands in rock and roll history. And don't forget tax avoidance too! [ Reply ]

bachbeet Aug 26, 2012 - 22:40	I agree with some here that their 80s music was superior. I still like some of their 90s music too. Just not quite as much as, say, Unforgettable Fire or Joshua Tree. This song is also not up to those two albums (nor is this album) but it's still quite good. [ Reply ]

I introduced my sons to their vast body of work as they grew up. But the band and I have broken up — I just don't feel the magic anymore. I don't know what happened. Maybe absence would have made the heart grow fonder — in the 2000's they were just EVERYWHERE. I felt much of what they did was manipulative, media focused, mass produced: their music, public personas and political pursuits. The magic is gone. In contrast, I can still get warm and fuzzy when I hear REM. What do you think? I have to reluctantly agree. You got it right about that elusive, indefinable "magic" factor. Hard to say why, maybe just overexposure as you have suggested, but even their classic songs just sound kinda tired and lifeless to me these days (with a handful of exceptions of course). [ Reply ]

In contrast, I can still get warm and fuzzy when I hear REM. What do you think? I would look at it this way. Suppose a political genius, like Bill Clinton, tried late in his career to become a hip rocker. It would be a very bad joke of course. This is what U2 has become, a bad joke. Bono is a musician-cum-global-politician that fashions himself as the world's conscience. He should have focused on his music, which clearly suffered as a result. I don’t think they could have still been the 80s band they were in 2000, but they could have at least pumped out some good music. I like their music in the 90s though. [ Reply ]
