Great review. Zooropa is half a flop, but it has at least 4 great songs. Numb is a kind of rap that I don't mind. Stay is a nice song (even if light years away from With or Without You and One). Zooropa is a great song, although the intro is too long and the technology is excessive. Lemon is one of U2's masterpieces. The others are okay, mediocre, or really bad. In Flanagan's book "U2: Until the End of the World," it says that U2 made this album to present a new record to Island Records, being at the end of their contract. So it was done hastily to have the upper hand during the renegotiation. Inform yourself, people, inform yourself.

I don't like it, it doesn't matter, one.

Anyway, I listened to We No Who U R once and it didn't mean a thing to me - you make it sound really nice - but I'll let you guess the reason. I'll come back when I've gotten out of the tunnel (I think it will be quite a while).

Anyway, I wanted to say that in a time of anachronism, every hole is a trench.

...And I had no doubts, because even from Hurt Locker I expected who knows what, but instead it was a serious film from a Tony Scott in high heels.

I didn't listen to it, but Amen struck me as frustratingly vague. As if the form was completely inadequate to the substance. At first, they were just melancholic, cultured but rather disengaged, then Battiato's influence ruined them. I like this thing Bianconi has of giving crap to mediocre singers and keeping the good stuff for himself, anyway :) Maybe with this they’ll take a step back, although from what you write, that doesn’t seem likely - Baudelaire, yet again Baudelaire damn it - anyway whatever.

Oh yes one thing: no matter how beautiful, magnificent it sounds through headphones, no matter how many hundreds of euros you spent on your headphones, listen to it with good speakers, meaning with a bit – but even just a minimum – of natural reverb. At 320kbps, until the record you are obliged to buy arrives. Mammasanta what they have come up with.

Come on, girls and boys, be serious, behave yourselves. We know you all have a critical spirit, a great understanding of music history and the current scene. But let's not joke around, come on.
