Reviews (page 12 of 12)
Si este es el álbum que "redefinió" el rock, entonces preferiría que el estatus del rock nunca hubiera sido cuestionado. El disco de la banda de Bono y U2 es sumamente flojo y poco innovador, perdiendo todo el poco filo que tenían en sus primeros discos para construir un LP tan olvidable que podría ponerse como música de fondo de un Mall.
Meh
Listening to Bono makes me want to punch a wall
Never been a fan of U2, and this didn't change my mind in the slightest.
Shit is fucking ass. Also it’s very difficult to hear. Only liked 2 songs
Do not get the popularity of U2 at all. Guess they have a broad appeal, no bold choices, but as this album went on I got more and more frustrated. Do something interesting! Sure I heard bono say he spiked someone's drink in until the end of the world too.
As expected, found this a hard listen. So dreary, mopey, lame.
I like the odd U2 song, but not a single one of those was on this album. This was a really awful album. I think my feelings are best summed up by the face on the album cover.
This is what happens when you fuck around with the reverb knob too much.
U2 is fucking overrated
pity zero stars isn't available
listened to the first 3 or 4 songs and confirmed that i am not a fan of U2
U2 sucks big
Echt, ik probeer er echt zonder vooroordeel in te gaan. Maar al bij de eerste noten komt mijn afkeer van U2 omhoog. Wat een drama van een eerste nummer. Het is goed dat One enigszins optijd komt, want dat is natuurlijk een goed nummer, maar de rest... Bluh. Ik weet ook niet wat het U2 is, tenminste, een ding weet ik wel: die 'wall of sound' is dramatisch. Alles op maximale reverb waardoor niks echt naar boven komt, ik vind het helemaal niks. Ik dacht nog dat One deze naar 2 sterren kon tillen, maar nee, 1 ster voor mij.
My preconceived notions about U2 either influenced my disdain for this album, or validated. I don't know which and really don't feel the desire to discern which.
This album was incredibly boring to me and the kind-of wannabe emotive vocals of Bono are annoying to a point it completely ruined the album. U2 can be great, especially in their early 80s phase, but... What was that?
Interesting story behind this album, but the music fell flaaaat for me. I've never taken to U2, so I'm coming in with a bias. But like, the author told a story about the band's struggles and how they wrote 'One' and it's the song that saved the band. That's the song that saved the band?! I nearly fell asleep during it. - Sincerely, a confused heathen.
Death
I hate it
I won’t be listening to this album.
I hate it.
Not a U2 guy. I did listen all the way through this. It sucked. U2 sucks.
Tylsää, soinnillisesti mautonta, suurelta osin kertosäkeetöntä. Eikö heillä ole mitään tapoja?
U2 sucks ass
Most overrated band in history
"Then it all made sense to me. How could Bono be so talented, so caring, and yet seem like such a piece of crap? Because he is crap. Don't you get it? Bono is not the record holder..." "He's the record." - South Park
Boring
😐
It's worse than I expected.
This was not enjoyable. Bono should not be priased as a good singer
U2 is assuredly not for me, even when trying to objectively put them in to context and ignore all the baggage surrounding Bono and Edge. I guess the best I can say is I can see why people would be in to this. But it's not for me.
I do not like U2 at all aside from a couple hit songs. This album has none of them. Just boring from beginning to end. You can feel Bono's insufferable-ness oozing through every note. I especially loathe Myserious Ways. It is not "all right" at all, sir. Overrated band that I can see people liking, but I 2ill never understand how they got so massive. Sadly I doubt this is my last encounter with them on this list. "Yay"
so bad. Especially did not like the filter on his voice
Fuck off Bongo
Stinky U2
Bland big arena three chord garbage
I’ve listened to a U2 song aeons ago and quite frankly couldn’t tell you what it was. That’s how abysmal that song was for me and also how I feel about this album. Unmemorable.
This does not appeal to me. It felt pretentious while listening to it. Most of the songs aren't anything special; they were all bland. They're all about a person or someone else, but it still felt like they were trying to preach something at me. This was not an enjoyable experience.
I don't like U2. I don't know why I even listened to the whole thing.
Zoo Station - what in the parted buttocks is wrong with the production of this? It sounds like a concert bootleg from someone with a tape recorder in the khazis. Muffled, echoey, generally unpleasant to listen to. The next track - one I vaguely remember from the 1990s - is by a sheer fluke of coincidence called "one", and it is shit. Bono's voice is grating, incapable of holding a note and generally reminiscent of a third rate pub singer. Now we move on to "to the end of the world" and I don't want to think that the bass is hitting some resonant frequency where it's overpowering, but the guitar's soaring pomposity makes me think they've spent too much time listening to Ride, and the overpowering bass is actually deliberate. I can't finish it because it hurts my ears. The first forty seconds of "who's going to ride your wild horses" is enough to convince me that this album is going in the bin. Byeeee!
TIHI
I would give this a 0 - I hate U2 !
I literally can’t stand U2. Meh
I can rest assured that everyone who made this album and listened to it will one day die.
no thank you
This is boring and toothless. God its the softest rock conceivable.
Meh
blech.
U2 is so overrated. I just don’t get the appeal.
Don’t understand the hype.
No
Overrated
Alright.
I don't like u2 much and I particularly don't like this version of them
U2 is the McDonald's of rock.
not my taste
Not good.
Saaaaai
