People rarely justify why they hate U2, they just climb aboard the U2 hate train and spout crap.

C'mon, it's just guitars, drums and a guy singing over the top - why is that so much worse than every other album out there?

I enjoy it, it's far from being a masterpiece, but very few things are. Kudos to U2 for finding a bigger sound at the time and finding a wider audience and acclaim. Their heads got to big after this album, for sure, but that doesn't mean this album should suffer because of it.


Well done. Even better than what I was going to say...

Also, I quite like Achtung Baby. I think it's miles better than Joshua Tree.

because at ever point in their career there has been much better bands than u2 not only not getting overplayed but getting little to no radioplay, you have the smiths, new order, pixies, early cure, and many others

also u2 is a perfect example of how the majority of humans are just stupid and would rather listen to a mediocre to bad vocalist instead of music without vocals

and i don't have a problem with bono personally, i don't care what he is like in real life
