Yep. Sorry. I'm off topic. But life is ALL U2 related. At least to me!
In that, I would think it would be good for U2 to take REM's lead and make an album fast, cut out the mid-tempo and slower more produced stuff and do what they aimed to do for the last time... if they wanted to recapture that energy and punk spirit... they might take REM's lead.
Someone have Peter Buck's phone number? Have him call up U2.

this album is a grower. Much better than Coldplay's offering. Great 35 minute blast
Just depends I think. I like the more melodic kind of rock Coldplay has. R.E.M.īs Accelerate is great, but itīs pure rock. Nothing wrong with that, I like it too. They both produced great albums. Hopefully I can add another to that list in October/November.
