He who has ears to hear ...

... This album will soon be one of the classics, and not only those of U2! This 4 exceptional musicians have now arrived at a point in their development where they are no longer youthful "shred" and no longer even need to desperately join in on the front line of innovators, but after 20 turbulent years a harvest wonderfully mature, can bring in adult music. U2 have delivered with a atyclb unangestrengtes, relaxed and yet highly emotional masterpiece. Each song "sitting" - even if one or the other perhaps at the beginning of a little "Listen-" required. As so often is also here the magic in detail, in countless subtle micro incursions in melody, harmony and instrumentation. The real highlight, however, is Bono's vocals who succeeds - despite aged voice, but with technique -, for every moment, every line and every turn to find the proper expression and to fill the songs with "Soul". Even the good albums of this year topped atyclb as the Mount Everest of the Black Forest. Dizzying.
