Honestly, I can not quite understand the whole discussion about this album. On U2 is always eliminated the spirits and not everyone feels the so characteristic voice Bonos pleasant. OK, so I do not have the slightest problem, because about taste can be well known, do not argue. But U2 reproach, she wanted to go "gravy train" in her old age, I think just for bullshit. As if the four men from the Dublin would still necessary. And as "half-hearted" or "emotion" to apply terms on this album without foundation. I do not personally like and every song on the CD, but that goes with me for almost any U2 disc (excluding the exceptional work "Achtung, Baby"). One must also not every song like. But who has recently seen the live performance of the four Irish under the Brooklyn Bridge and simultaneously make yourself fully aware about what Bono in "Sometimes you can not make it on your own" ever sings (relationship with his father) then comes a the close already. This is not without emotion, but very, very personal. Other highlights for me are the rocking "Vertigo," the quiet "Miracle Drug", "City of Blinding Lights" and especially the wonderful "Crumbs from Your Table" (a song about the problems of Africa), with the remaining songs not really are bad. All in all, it is HTDAAB a very peaceful, beautiful album (One should not be deceived because of "Vertigo"), which in terms inferior to its predecessor atyclb on quality in anything and certainly has its great moments. My favorite U2 album but it will probably still not be ...
