"This album confuses me. Sometimes I feel like it is pretty good, but not quite great. Other times I feel like it is my favorite album of all time. Tracks 1-7 are some of my favorite U2 songs except for the instrumental 4th of July. After that there isn't too much going on. I like this album more than War, but it falls a little flat compared to Joshua Tree and Achtung Baby. Overall this album is pretty great, except for when it's not."

"Great one, the most atmospheric of all U2-albums. Legend has it, that the band showed "New Gold Dream" by Simple Minds to Brian Eno for creating this record. Tracks like A Sort of Homecoming, Pride and the titletrack speak for themselves. Also, Bad is one of my favorite tunes of all time."
