'Songs of Innocence' and 'Songs of Experience', a publicity stunt that backfired, and a potential lost album in the etherhttps://t.co/zxFYnoEDX0

It's a fair and balanced review of the albums as individual pieces, complementary works and a possibly triptych; but why write this 5 years after SOE was released, it's old news.
Originally posted by ayr861:I still really really like this album, apart from The Miracle and Volcano. Could it have been released differently, sure and there's a few things I'd change about it, but otherwise it was nice to get a second album that followed another great album after 2 'ok' albums.
Iris was the song I thought from the pre-release just the name to be the highlight and next to This Is Where You Can Reach Me Now and Raised By Wolves, I'd say some of U2's best work in a long time.

Really needed to just sing with Bono today.
