I find it amusing that everyone in the media seems to be going out of their
way to find something negative about THIS particular U2 release, but the
criticisms are catty and lame. The Pitchforkmedia one being case in point.
They can't really come up with a darn good reason to dislike the record
itself, but they'll be damned if they're going to say they like it.....so,
like secretaries in a steno pool they decide to lash out at the popular
woman in the office for having....fat ankles.
I will be buying this album BECAUSE it sounds like U2. Frankly, I've been
tired of them sounding like Ry Cooder for all these years :-)
