No hate, Sotanaht. As far as I’m concerned, I have no issues recognizing the merit of the first two albums; I might even add Achtung Baby, sure. However, that remains completely inadequate to justify the enormous acclaim received compared to the rest of the subsequent pile of crap. This acclaim perhaps evokes in me more outrage and dismay than a judgment that might even be snobbishly disdainful yet respectful of the place U2 hold in music history. To praise such a band is perhaps a sign of conformity and a lack of culture (musical, at the very least) that is far worse. Then the review is caricatured by how long-winded, exaggerated, and unbalanced it is.

I was just wondering whether a series of endless TBT reviews on a group that's already been covered extensively (which frankly sucks) would be more useful, or a nice roll of toilet paper with nettle and Tabasco.

However, I didn't mind Lullabies; if it had a few less tracks, it would have been a really remarkable album. Instead, it's quite lengthy and meandering. This one, on the other hand, has the gift of conciseness; it's more focused. If I could vote on the work, it would be a 3.5 rounded up to 4... but I will manage!

Their most hallucinatory side is missing, it's been gone for quite a while, I would say, but it's not a bad album. Better than the last one and maybe even better than Lullabies.

Uh ... I see now that you're a newcomer, so welcome. As for the track by track, I can tell you that quite a few will annoy you, it's not appreciated on the site. But good debut and good proposal.

Bah ... let's hope for a bit of energy from this job, because it's precisely in those (rare so far) moments that are a little more lively that I can truly appreciate them. The excellent Fosca and I got pretty fed up after an entire concert at the Forum this year. Sorry if I hate tbt in all its forms; I withhold judgment on everything even if you write well.

Really well-written review. Interesting themes, I believe it will be one of my summer reads (not on Kindle though...). Thanks Flo, I’ll let you know how I liked it.

Oh ... but it was also a dear friend of mine who introduced me to these. Can you believe it? Heheheheheeeeee. Awesome, as usual you manage to perfectly convey the emotional-exegetical coordinates of the work and to spark curiosity about never banal proposals. Just saying. Besos

Instead, I bought Brigade sight unseen, encouraged by the numerous positive comments, and I returned it to the record store right away. But it’s my fault; I’ve never been able to digest punk. Who the hell knows what I was thinking...

... I understand. You're an undercover member of the band and you're trying to promote the unthinkable.
