referencing Pop, CD, Album, CIDU210 , 524 334-2

It's a shame how people underrate and missunderstand this album (probably without even having listened to it). It has nothing to do with pop or techno music. It's full of irony, starting right from the title. Citing someone from amazon.com, "It is broken and cold and sick. It is also hot and crazy and distrastously tinged with something that only seems like hope. The songs on this album stretch from the sublime to the grotesque and back again through the slimey or the desperate". It's innovative yet very listenable rock music way ahead of its time. I think it's the last great U2 album, and in the top 2 with Achtung Baby. Every true U2 fan should appreciate it.
