1. Funny! I just wrote "I expected something big and ended up with something enormous" in another thread. I put 5.5 because there is nothing at the moment that is speaking against this being their best album. I hope I will say the same let's say a year from now. I'm in awe!

    Actually, I think the most important thing for me is that I love it, not how it ranks among the other U2-albums.
  2. 3,5
  3. 4 stars. It's better than I hoped for, and it still grows. Time will tell if it's right up there with the classics.
  4. i've been waiting ten years for another great album....
    i really hoped this could have been the right time but, sorry, NLOTH is just like the last two album: mainstream, overproduced, boring and tired; why the hell before every song there is an useless intro of a minute!!
    however "Fez" is a great song

    p.s.: sorry for my english
