He didn't spit it out... actually, he said it in a very objective way and, I repeat, without blinders..! It's a fact that U2 have lost their creative spark..! You can't say that these last 2-3 albums are fantastic.. amazing.. etc.. just because they were made by U2..! Objectively, I repeat, they have lost a lot of creativity..! These are bland albums.. without backbone..! They should be a Rock band and.. now they just make simple chart Pop (try to prove me wrong..) and, in my opinion, they rely on the excellent free publicity Bono gives them around the world..! I'm sorry to say it but.. that's how it is..! And.. I'm not speaking as someone who hates them from the start.. on the contrary..! I love their albums from the '80s.. and I love them up to ACTHUNG BABY..! But after that.. they lost EVERYTHING..!

POP is U2's last great album?? No way: the last great album remains and, if they keep it up, it will always be ACHTUNG BABY..!

I agree with many of you..! What can I say: the U2 have had their time..! It’s hard to say it..and you won’t find any fans brave enough to admit it but..U2 are finished..! They’ve run out of ideas..they’ve exhausted their creativity..they have nothing left..! The only thing keeping them afloat is the constant publicity from BONO who..selects CAREFULLY the places and initiatives he chooses to appear at..! Ok..the songs are nice..! But "nice" for a band with 25 years of career..is no longer an acceptable adjective..! They’re all little tunes without soul..without that creativity that strikes you..! Tunes that remind me, at best, of SPANDAU BALLET..! But where have the brave men of BOY gone? of OCTOBER?? of WAR?? Where has that creativity gone? If it’s no longer there..well..it might as well be time to stop..!

I just wanted to say that... WE LOVE THE PERSON WHO WROTE THIS WONDERFUL REVIEW..! Finally, someone with clear eyes..!
Congratulations.. bye bye!

Well... that's already good..!

What can you do..!
Those who think they have the ABSOLUTE TRUTH.. are just like that..! We have to understand them..!
Alright..!
I agree with you! Just say: "I don’t like them for this or that reason.."! Without throwing out snide remarks or free jabs..!
I really want to know what this people listens to.. who criticize the QUEEN so much..!

Legendary!
This is a great comment..! Objective and without blinders..! But not just because they said that DURAN aren't bad.. but simply because they nailed the reality without being a fan..!
Absolutely awesome..!

Another one who doesn’t understand or doesn’t READ…!
What I’m saying is that you can’t speak with a preconceived notion…! You can’t say: “Queen is commercial,” if you’ve only listened to We Are The Champions, I Want To Break Free and, in general, the Greatest Hits…! People talk like this, but in reality, 90% of them speak only having heard various Greatest Hits…!
If you want to speak well of a band… criticize it… judge it… etc., you must be informed… listen to their early albums… hear the evolution of the group… etc…!
I appreciate it a lot when someone criticizes QUEEN… everyone has their own tastes… etc.! I myself am a fan, but I criticize QUEEN a lot because I believe they’ve done many stupid things…! However… at least I’ve listened to a bit of everything by them… so I believe I can speak…!
There are people who… listen to 3 songs and say: “QUEEN suck… QUEEN is commercial…” etc… etc…!
It’s not a matter of being touchy…! It’s a matter of being fair and equitable…!

What the hell are you saying??
Did I happen to equate FERRY with LE BON??
Show me the copy/paste of the sentence where you SAY I compared them..!
But here people read... or do they pretend??
I ONLY SAID that... there are people who TEND to judge... criticize... talk about things they don’t know..!
And in this case... you can’t talk about DURAN if you don’t know New Wave, if you don’t know New Romantic, if you don’t even know who FERRY and ROXY MUSIC are..!
I said this..! I certainly didn’t compare anyone..!
Where did you read this nonsense, excuse me?

Here it is... exactly... this question of yours... shows your incompetence...!
Since Freddie passed away, critics have done nothing but love them, consider them, say they were the best band on the planet and various bullshit...! But during their career, they were always hated! Every album that came out was, according to critics, pure crap! And yet, as soon as FREDDIE died, everyone acted so nice and polite...!
And, LOOK AT THIS, the only magazine that has always loved them is KERRANG!!! Which is the number 1 magazine in the world for Metal and Hard Rock...!
But look at that...! Maybe because they don’t have blinders on and know how to recognize Metal or Hard Rock where it is...! KERRANG said it (the most authoritative Metal magazine in the world...), not NOVELLA2000..!
