Ireland decided to change their tax code and begin taxing artists for the first time a couple of years ago as a way of offsetting deficits and austerity measures do to bad governance and poor revenue management blah, blah, blah. Bono and the boys DO pay a portion of their income in Irish taxes and have said repeatedly that they have sheltered much of their earnings out of a direct protest to the aforementioned change in the Irish tax code. If you're a cynic and prone to dislike U2 you're not going to buy this argument anyway. But if you take them at their word then you have to accept that their is a principle other then greed embedded in their efforts. Also, don't overlook the hundreds (thousands?) of Irish employees of U2's mammoth live business that loyally pay taxes to their government. You can argue against U2's sheltering of their income but you can't argue against the huge net positive effect they have had on the Irish economy over the years. Are they hypocrite? I don't think so.

Once you have been around for sooooooo long, you can only do so many things and the self professed and ambitioned "Best band in the world" does not have a lot of wiggle room for creativity and experimentation to appease the masses and make millions which seems to be their only musical goal. Well, at least they aren't horrible like a lot of other aging artists who just keep going and going and going and going........... I actually find this album to be quite unique, relative to their catalog...and the last compelling project. [ Reply ]
