I remember watching Bono perform sunday bloody sunday live when I was around 13/14 and being so deeply moved by the performance and the power of music I thought it was one of the best things I've ever seen. Something about his huge presence and anger just really moved me. I still like the song - even though I'm not that convinced by the production which now sounds a bit clunky to me (might be my own speakers. I think New Years Day is even better at capturing that same energy that I was enthralled by at 14. Unfortunately the rest of the album didn't really work for me. Even the songs I like somewhat drag and Bono becomes a bit annoying to listen to. 3/3.5.
