Just the beginning of the review would make me vomit; 20 lines filled with the most boring and saddest demagoguery to say that How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb is terrible and that Bono is the ONLY rich man in the world who dares, can you believe it, to talk about the problems that exist around us, and indeed, he even tries to do something to address them! How dare he! Thank you, thank you, Avenger, for opening our eyes to these age-old and serious issues, because we weren't already tired enough of hearing the same old nonsense when discussing a band like U2.
But let's get to serious matters, that is, the review of the album. Not exceptional, even if written with impeccable syntax, let's say a bit like a list, slightly boring and lacking in spirit. You try to write about the content with a certain objectivity, but unfortunately, you can't help but leave out-of-place comments here and there that reveal a certain moral intolerance towards the very subject being reviewed...like a snobbish attitude that makes the judgment less sincere. I like this album, I like it a lot, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the last two. I believe it is the best of the last 16 years, and I warmly invite everyone, fans, non-fans, hypercritics, to listen to it and enjoy it because it truly deserves it. In a few years, when the media's hormonal storm has calmed down, my review will also arrive.

I unfortunately agree.

I quote the man next door. For me, the last Pink Floyd album remains "The Wall." "The Final Cut" is practically already a solo album by Waters, and the rest... well, they're just Floyd without Pink.

Over-rated. "After the B-side, the music can only go down"... do you know Pink Floyd?

anyway this concert was in a small arena

I agree. Better the DMs in arenas or gyms ;)

You tried to be concise and on point, but you didn’t succeed. It’s never easy to review Live shows...
Fantastic concert! I have tickets for the 18th in Milan!! ...who’s coming?

Sorry, I mistakenly voted for your review!

Whatever people say, for me this is a great album. Nocturnal par excellence along with "Ultra" and a worthy follow-up to the latter. Stratospheric production, homogeneous sound, and songs of absolute Depeche Mode mastery. I'll say something heretical, but I would almost place it ahead of BC and MFTM. Great albums those two, huh, but the overly "80s" sound they have always makes me scrunch my nose a bit. Much better from "Violator" onward when you can really talk about modern albums, properly polished and absolutely phenomenal in every aspect one after the other.
