War

Not my vibe. I appreciate the political message and that Bono is an icon to many, but it’s not doing anything for me.

After 13 straight days of music from the Uk, I get to travel a whole 12 miles Ireland to get an album from what may be my least favorite band of all time. This is album 131, I don't know how much more of this self induced torture I can take. I listened to this album with an open mind, as I have done with the previous 130 on this list. And to my surprise this album was actually really bad. I don't like U2 as previous stated, but honestly had a bit of higher expectations being the younger and the more raw U2 might actually deliver something strong and enjoyable...nope. This only strengthens my belief that they are the worst band. More specifically, Bono is annoying and tiresome. His lyrics could be pure magic, but I can't make out the words because I can't stand his voice. The music is fine, the vocals just make my skin crawl. Sorry U2 fans, we all have our things and this ain't mine. 2.5/10 131/1001

I always thought the amount of hate U2 got was unwarranted and just the typical Irish not liking someone for their success. I no loger think that, fuck these guys. The only thing that could make this better is if Bono paid his taxes. Or if the all of the songs were different.

It isn’t interesting and the singles are blah. I liked seconds the most.

Very boring album. Hookless songs that drag on for far too long. Mentions of revolution as a buzzword with no declaration of morals worthy of revolution. Poorly mixed.

I will not be listening to U2. Ever.

1983 was not the best year for music, but here U2 take the sounds of post-punk, rock and pop and fashion them into the most boring pap imaginable. How long… to sing this song? How long?

Nahhhh

No. Did not listen. You know what you did

I still hate U2.

Trash band

Ech. I just do not like U2

Love the message but the music is wack

0/5, U2 suck

hate them.

Not a fan of U2

very hard listen I cannot lie

I refuse

Repetitive. Got old pretty fast.

I don't even want to listen to this. It got played way too much when I was growing up 40 years later I'm still sick of it. My girlfriend however is a big U2 fan so I'll tell her it's the album of the day and tell her that I had listened to it and give it a big upvote for her

bono is not number 2!!!

I don't like U2

Is good for absolutely nothin'.

mid when i was listening the music was barely even being processed in my brain because it sounded Not Nice

did not like, was making me fall asleep on the highway

This is the worst band ever and this album is terrible if I could give it 0 stars I would!

U2 is boring

No thank you

I found that rather dull. They just sound like a boring version of the cure

Nope, don't like this album at all, or any U2 besides a couple of songs everything sucks...

Middle fingers up to U2. Just another waste of time from this overrated shit band.

These guys are from England and who gives a shit

Pretentious shit

*Unpopular opinion warning*. I hate U2, always have. I go out of my way to avoid their music, although I know a lot of their songs having heard my uncle listen to them a lot. Being a guitarist I find The Edge's riffs uninspiring, repetitive and boring. I'm not a fan of Bono, his voice or his lyrics. This album is no exception, I listened to it all, but I got bored rather quickly. I saw another review which sums it ups for me: "I’ve always thought U2 was an overly self serious band who people who don’t really like music say is their favourite band."

Well, I initially loved a lot of LilyWhite’s production, some of it has not aged well. More importantly, though it’s clear listening to this album the Bono can’t write a melody for the life of him, and his voice is not much to speak of either. I think his main skill is his desire to try to be seen as a pop culture figurehead but I think that’s only in his mind. Drum is just OK and pretty much all the same.

I know this one, and I don’t like it

When metal albums come up, record on here often just mention how much they can't stand the genre. I struggle to understand what they mean. Then I get U2. A band for people with no personality. A band for people think they are into music but only listen to the most generic radio friendly, chosen by record executives garbage. A band for people who now say their favorite genre is Indy. I literally don't get what anyone sees in this trash. I did make it all the way through. But now I'm in a bad mood and have a headache.

Every song so far has been annoying. Did not enjoy this album 1/5

He escuchado este disco por lo menos dos veces antes en mis intentos previos de seguir la lista y siempre llego a la misma conclusión: Un disco de Post-Punk inspirado por actos como The Cure, pero diluido hasta transformarse en una bastardización de lo que alguna vez fue. "The edge" aporta poco o nada a las pistas y ciertamente ese título no debería pertenecerle. La mejor canción de todo el LP es "Sunday Bloody Sunday". Rezo por el día en que el mundo deje de considerar a U2 como una banda buena. Sus presentaciones en vivo podrán ser buenas, pero su todos sus tracks suenan como la misma canción radial, es una pérdida de tiempo y hasta recursos. Sálteselo si quiere.

i dont like U2

Never ever found what others found in U2. The band is nothing more than average talent musicians playing repetitive music to back up one of the biggest egos in the Industry. An occasional hit but as always 95% crap

i only listened to like 3 songs so

Didn’t listen

Pompous overblown tosh

fucking hell this was boring and lame NNN

Really do not rate U2 in general but I genuinely got bored halfway through this album

I strongly dislike U2.

I don't know what the big deal is with U2. They've done very well with a very bad singer. They should just come out with out and release an album called, "Songs for Yobs and Knobs"

nO u2 thank you. I tried, but it's not for me.

U2, gross

Bit bad

Trashhhhh

Holy shit

Don't like u2

Bono is the record. - Randy Marsh

This sucked. Hated every second of it.

No suporto U2

Ding ding here comes the shit mobile. U2 blows. Sunday Bloody Sunday instrumentals are passable.

Sunday Bloody Sunday is one of the U2 songs I can stand listening to, but someone else could do play it better I'm sure. Seconds has a cool sound to it, would be better as a instrumental. Same goes for New Year's Day Don't care for Like a Song, I guess it's like a song I don't like. Drowning man was fine. The Refugees is obnoxious. Two Hearts Beat as One, brings me back to U2 just sounding like an average bar band that have day jobs. Red Light is a gross waste of time. Surrender, boring noise. And 40 finishes things off sounding like an interesting track, but then Bono makes his presence known.

U2 is overrated.

Did not like and it made me irritable

gun to my head i would have said this album came out in 2002. Some serious "hits of the 80s, 90s, and today" time blindness on my part. two songs is more than i expected to like. 1.5

What is it good for? Absolutely fuck all.

Meh

Gross. U2. I guess I never considered the possibility of bands I know that I don't really like being on this list. Anyway, I'll try and remain impartial, but this one is going to be hard. The Sunday Bloody Sunday mix is trash. The song is better reworked by Richard Cheese. I will admit that New Year's Day is catchy. The drums overall in the album are pretty good -that guy is putting in the work. Phew, it's over. Review of Reviews: People like this whole thing? I don't get it, it's misses way more than it hits. Best Track: New Year's Day

Another overrated album from an overrated band.

Probably my favourite U2 album, but it's not saying too much as I'm not a fan of any of them.

meh

A perfect parade of macho boy love and tiny erections. U2 produce one of the most interesting ways to drive a man to suicide. An abomination that makes your ears bleed and your anus sore. Piss off.

Fuck off U2

0/200 Even worse

I hate U2 but let's give it a try... No this is crap. Not for me! Boring... Manages to be both over/melodramatic and dull at the same time. Rubbish!

This album was meh. Sunday Bloody Sunday and Red Light were decent but it didn't do it for me. I read about the significance for the time but still wasn't my jam.

Honestly, it's a miracle I didn't drive into the ocean listening to this. Music is trite and Bono's voice it deeply unpleasant to listen to.

this album is so shit it physically stressed me out. there is more musicality in me banging my head off this desk repeatedly

No thank u

Everyone has that one somewhat-iconic musician or band that they just don't enjoy or don't get the hype for. For me, it's easily U2. This whole album was bland, like a boiled potato. I appreciate the message, but it definitely could've been done better.

PU 2

Don’t like U2

I ALREADY RATED THIS YOU IDIOTS

If I never hear Bono's whiny bitch voice again, it'll still be too soon

Not a fan of U2. However, this faded into the background and I felt like I was walking through the mall mid-00s. It also felt like it would never end.
