Im going out on a limb here, and willl get crucifed by the faithful as a result ,but after all the excitment of the album , and a very very long listen , i can say this is prehaps the worst album u2 have made in years.We are all jumping up and down and excited becuase it's U2 , but actually when it's all said and done this is a pretty lame effort for 5 years in the making.The songs simply dont really gel with me, they are slow at times , mixed terribly and havn't got that kick about them like the other albums.The lyrics are shocking at times, i can only dream as to what the album would have been like if they had of went with that other producer.Eno is what you by for a upset stomach here in Australia , and his mixing of this cd is particulary bad , makes me upset.Look this album will be considered in years to come as the DUD of u2 , Please just go back to rock and roll , ditch eno and get some balls and go out on a limp and make a record that will stand up as your best.It was really funny , but i was so excited, thought it was brillliant at the start but after the excitement has died down i realised what it was - a mixed up piece of work that really sounds like an out of control train that yes your right at the end ends in a train wreck.U2 or no U2 this is a shocker

I totally agree with you. Even after several listenings, this album remains awful. It's an uninspired and badly produced eno-album sung and played by U2. Please don't compare this with JT or AB or the last two albums. JT and AB were milestones. And also with the two last albums one recognised immediately that these were great songs from the very first time you listened to the album. I'm still looking for one on NLOTH. Someone wrote in another reply that very soon another album will appear with other songs from the sessions. I hope that NLOTH is only an experiment by U2 to see how far they can go with the critics and the fans and that the next one will be the real new U2 album and not another collection of b-sides (because that's what NLOTH finally is).
I hope U2 continues in this direction, or continue with such ideas/innovation.
