overall, pretty good record. I didn't really have any songs on here that I didn't like, even if I felt like about half of them didn't really do very much. The production/mixing/engineering on this album (courtesy of the legendary Brian Eno), is fucking magnificent, and really steals the show, but it also highlights some of the record's biggest flaws as well. When an album sounds this sonically fantastic, when the instrumentals are as crisp and crystal clear as they are, it can sometimes highlight aspects of a song that feel underwritten as a result. At no point on the album do I think U2 is bringing bad ideas, instead they come through with a lot of song ideas that are ALMOST great, but consistently fall a bit flat for me. With that being said, even the less-than-stellar moments on this album are decently enjoyable, just not ones I'm compelled to return to.
