U2's seventh album...
their second biggest seller (18 million) after Joshua Tree....
starting to lose their original sound on this one....
more diverse, going almost dance/electronic on a couple of tracks...
"one" is my favourite on the album but MH posted that one a couple of pages back....
BTW, John Cash's version on one of his "American Recordings" albums is the equal to,
I not better than this original version....
hard call between our tracks here for best track, had to go or the horses one though...
typical of all U2 albums for me, several great tracks, but also an equal amount of duds,
that just the way their albums roll or me...
al up though, aired better than what I thought it would after all these years....
