While Bono and Edge do write all of the lyrics, the group still writes and composes all the songs together, something that most bands are either unwilling or unable to do. While trying to forge ahead into parts unknown, U2 still leaves songs on this album reminiscent of Achtung Baby, Zooropa or Pop. But that's nothing to complain about. The guys from U2 still hold true to their strong religious beliefs and peace-loving stance. It's also a thought that changed the world.
Grace makes beauty out of ugly things.
What makes this effort from U2 so phenomenal is that its lyrics are not written around rhyme schemes or beats. In fact, most of the lyrics from this album are sentences. They just happen to rhyme from time to time. The only problem with this album is that it ends too soon. Once you start playing the CD, you just can't get enough of the musical euphoria U2 has blended together.
