Listened to their newest album three times, and can't understand even a modicum of the hype surrounding it. It sounds like Bono wailing/speak-singing over the most rudimentary New Order knock-off instrumentals he could find. Some of the tracks -- Other Voices, Call The Cops, Emotional Haircut -- made me want to jump out of a window, they were so annoying.
I remember when they revealed the album cover for American Dreams and wondering if the music was going to be as bland as the cover suggested. Sure enough..
