The Unforgettable Chill, you might call this album, and unforgettable is certainly the right word.

This album, patently the band’s best, combines easy-to-grasp themes — alienation and an outsider’s ambivalent view of America — with an extremely focused musical attack.

REVIEW REPOST #089. I repost my old reviews, which got no attention, with updated thoughts. Posted this review 1.5 years ago, but I'm posting it again.
Maan, U2, what an iconic band. They get a lot of hate nowadays, but I could never hate on a band that made one of the greatest pieces of music ever. There's a reason they inspired some of the greatest acts ... read more

And of coarse, here in NZ, we only have a couple of big bands come around once every couple years. The time Foo Fighters came round last year, literally everyone I knew went to that gig. Everyone. So, U2 coming? Playing one of their biggest albums in its entirety? In New Zealand? With Noel Gallagher opening no less! ... read more
THEY WANT TO BE AMERICAN SO BADLY 😭😭😭
I decided to listen to this, because i am going to listen some classic alt rock albums from 80's and 90's, but i wasn't planing to this. But i change my mind, because on wikipedia page of alt rock, U2 are really important for this sub genre of rock. I always associated them with pop rock, but this record is definitely alt rock.

I love how most people (That I Know) who dislike U2 will almost always admit:
"I don't like U2... but "With or Without You" is an amazing song."
You literally can't hate that song.
