How is it that someone as politically active as Bono has moved away from singing about what's happening in the world, and in particular this current world, to this mess...

I mean if a bunch of these songs were in the can (albeit, unfinished) back when they were writing/recording SoI, chances are there were many conversations had when they said "let's save that for the next one".

Not to mention Bono's been writing shallow lyrics alongside meaningful ones ever since Touch was in the same set as The Ocean, or since Babyface was on the same album as The Wanderer. Don't get your undies in a bundle.

Many people said basically the same thing back in 1991 (hindsight and a deeper analysis of the lyrics says otherwise, though, but that was a very common first reaction to MW, UV, RT, WH, ZS, etc).

I still think SOI is one of the best albums they've made (top 5 for me). It'd be fantastic if SOE manages to be at that level and I hope it does, but I wouldn't be surprised if SOI is the best of the pair.
