That's a cool way to sign an album. Nice touch.

It's *pretty good*: fresh, up tempo, lots of hooks, two or three more mature numbers in the second half. Excellently produced.
The band is tight. Hewson jr has a great distinctive voice and sings really well, even though - live - he's less in tune than his dad (and even though Bono's voice is, well, something else). But who cares. It's a superb debut album. They're standing squarely on their feet.
What's the word on the U2 street on this album?

It's nice, fresh and powerful. Very well produced too.
I'm just pissed that none of us would be listening to it if it wasn't for the Elijah's connection, and it's unfair towards a million of other (better) bands that are born, live and die without a fraction of the recognition just because they don't have a famous member among them. It's just that. I'm perfectly aware that meritocracy is not the norm and connections and pulling strings is very common, but... That's how I feel.
