The beginnings of U2 revolved around their love of God and their songs reflected this with such intensity and power. Pure and simple. After the Joshua Tree (well, really the Unforgettable Fire), they became so large and powerful that they actually became larger than themselves and perhaps Gods themselves. From that point to the present, they have lost that pure honesty and humbleness. Too bad. |

| Oh, Bill. And you were doing so well; no U2 all day. Now, well you've lost me for a few hours as I try to let my nausea subside. Lousy lyrics, lousy and arrogant band. I just don't understand. |
| Boy was a real good album. |
| is that a xylophone I hear? |
| This song is soooo good and energetic it makes us tear our clothes off and dance... |
| Great Drum rolls .. reminds me of Meg White |
| From back when U2 was straigth forward, simple but full of energy.... I love the old stuff. |
| Exceptionally good track! |

I agree. To me, after War, their passion and angst were replaced with (over) production. |
