It goes to show that U2 need to move their sound forward and challenge their listeners if they want the re-gain respect of critics. U2 should take close note of this and should aim to follow the example that Coldplay have shown.

Having done that I think this is a very good album from them. A real return to form and as mentioned just a couple of comments ago arguably album of the year although Bruce Springsteen’s western stars is good competition. Really happy to hear music from the band I can connect with again.

I just can't comprehend the comparison of Coldplay to U2... Coldplay have been going for 20 years and U2 for 40... Get back to me with how Coldplay are tracking in the year 2040.
