"I want to run, I want to hide. I want to tear down the walls that hold me inside."
The singles are overplayed as hell, but it's still a great album. With Or Without You and I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For are actually two of my less preferred tracks on the album, though that's probably due to overexposure.
Favourite tracks: Where The Streets Have No Name, Running To Stand Still, Exit, Red Hill Mining Town [First added to this chart: 01/31/2017]
