U2 has always struck me as way more lame than they think they are. “The Edge”? Really? That’s a lot of middling guitar for that “badass” moniker. I usually try to stick to how much I like the sound, the lyrics - but U2 annoys me. This album has very few palatable tracks and I think “New York” might be one of the worst songs I’ve ever heard. “In a Little While” with its “Beasts of Burden” rip-off lick isn’t bad and “wild honey” might actually be good - and those two save this album from the trash heap.
