first time listening to a u2 album front to back. probably wouldn't have done it unprompted. no rough edges here. clean as hell. i love the incorporation of electronic music. powerful and funky. i learned to appreciate u2 today.

tony hawk's underground 2's soundtrack had a big impact on my little smooth brain. nothing stood out to me more than "add it up," a song i didn't understand until i was older and hornier. it just sounded unbearably cool. i like this album for the same reasons everyone likes this album. it's brash and perverted. unsophisticated and catchy as hell.

thought i was a cool teenager for listening to a pink floyd album that wasn't the dark side of the moon or the wall. piper was very important to my high school psych phase and i was infatuated with syd barrett and anything he touched. i had fun revisiting this. great groove. doesn't take itself too serious.

might be the best jazz voice i've ever heard
