I know there are a lot of U2 haters on here, but I am not one of them. I still occasionally play their 80s albums (and The Unforgettable Fire especially), so I was intrigued to listen to this new release of reworkings of their back catalogue.
Sadly, it's total dogshit. Supposedly an acoustic album, the aim seems to have been to strip all the hooks and best bits out of each track and to make them as morose as possible. I'd also go so far as to say Bono's voice sounds weak (never thought I'd say that about a U2 song) with the opening track "One" being a case in point.
If you want a fix of Bono, then try the excellent new Inhaler album instead (the lead singer is Bono's son).
