Now here's something that makes me happy.
U2's new CD arrived this morning in the mail, and it's as if their past few disaster albums had never happened, and they'd picked up right after "The Joshua Tree."
The wonderful noise they make - "beautiful noise" was Neil Diamond's album title but it better describes U2, to my mind - suffuses this album.
The trickling guitar, the clarity of the instruments, the tricky rhythms, I've got them all going as loud as the Harmon Kardon Soundsticks can go.
This baby's playing on "Repeat All" until bedtime, is how I see it.
For once, the reviews were right.
Amazing what enjoyment a mere $10.99 can buy in this foolish day and age.
