Originally posted by Hole:Soon two months in, I must say it´s a great album. Thematically, a bit like Automatic For The People, with the apocalypse of both politics and life. To me it’s way better than Songs Of Innocence: the lyrics touches me, the sound is more interesting and the songmaking is of a higher quality. It’s not without weaknesses songwise, and I truly miss The Edge’s solos. Adam and Larry are really great on both SOI and SOE, but Bono’s voice is way better on SOE. And I find the original running order a bit odd. Almost since the first week, I have listened to it this way – and I can still not find a better running order:
The Blackout. Zoo Station goes Pop – a perfect opener.
You’re The Best Thing About Me. Contemporary pop music isn’t my cup of tea, but as this album’s Even Better Than The Real Thing it defends its place as the important second track. Should have been the second single as well: has worked quite well on radio.
Love Is Bigger Than Anything In Its Way. The album’s larger-than-life-song. Should have been the first single.
The Book Of Your Heart. What a song! If it only had lasted a minute longer. Or two. Or…
Get Out Of Your Own Way. A forgettable song, can’t understand why they released it as a single. But it mends perfectly into…
American Soul. With another chorus it could have been a new Bullet The Blue Sky – here’s real anger, great sounds and noises and a groovy beat. A promise of a song that almost got there.
Summer Of Love. The political theme turns personal as this song ends the first half of the album and introduces the sequel of four semi-acoustic tracks.
Red Flag Day. These four tracks have light music with heavy lyrical themes, and this is maybe the heaviest of them.
The Showman. Poppy music, honest lyrics.
Landlady. Who cannot love this one? Starts the “Home” section on the album.
Lights Of Home. Old men play slow rock, like Crumbs From Your Table and Cedarwood road. Boring. But great noises and lyrics.
13 (There Is A Light). Should have been called 12… As with American Soul, the verses are stronger than the chorus.
The Little Things That Give You Away. A perfect song. A perfect closer.
Love Is All We Have Left. An even better closer. The Little Things leaves me in shock: this is the end. But this song turns the tears into joy: when everything is played, said and done, when the lights are out and the end is here – there is still love. I must listen to the album once again!
