Highly anticipated new album u2 (2CD version) is good, even excellent. The themes are their youthful emotions, their first times, Ireland, their first love, their travels, their spiritual view of the world of today ... some electrical pieces dubbed in "acoustic" piano / really beautiful voice where Bono's voice to the range so singular and rare excels! Every breaking wave takes on special meaning to replay since Bono publicly announced it a few days ago (bbc america 17-10-14) eye disease .... its a very good album writing and melody, I can personal regret a lack of traditional Irish instrument that would be welcome in this album "Back home" .... Nevertheless, this is a great Christmas gift to offer to discover their talent! .... Happy listening. Girafona
