Album: Songs Of Surrender

Big U2 fan but this is disappointing. All of the songs are beautiful as originally recorded. Nothing was done to increase the quality of the sound or the beauty of the music. Just the opposite, it has diminished both. Its like hearing the perfect song on an album and seeing the band live and hearing that same song and it’s not the same. You are better than this.

Don’t listen to reviews calling this lazy or a cash grab, you are depriving yourself of hearing something pretty great and unique because of someone else’s baggage. With or Without You, Bad, City of Blinding Lights, and Walk On are highlights for me. Give it a listen!!!!

You don’t have to be a die hard U2 fan to appreciate this album. Its an amazing piece of music, period. It’s Artwork! and that’s what Bono, Edge, Adam, and Larry accomplished. Also, by going back in time and and finishing their “stories of life”presented in song. For one to negatively criticize this album is immature and ridiculous. Listen to this album over and over and you’ll appreciate this band for what it is…the greatest of all time.

I wasn't sure about this, but the more i listen, the more I like. Soime really terrific versions of some great selections. This reached No. 1 in the UK, and deservedly so. I don't get the big negative reaction from some "fans," and I suspect if the fellas see them they will laugh. They don't need money. support or adulation, so if they feel compelled to do this, why should anyone care? Honestly, if you don't like it, leave it alone!

This album is absolutely terrible! The singing is some of the worst I have heard from Bono, and the songs just don’t sound fluid and clear!! I don’t know what U2 is thinking right now with the last few years of new albums, but this is the worst album to come from them.

Many artists get stuck in the moment and can't get out of it. Not U2. As caterpillar morphs into butterfly, U2 rearranges past performances, creating surprisingly appropriate strains with lyrics best not left behind. Excellent transitioning as time change all things.

Why are there so many negative reviews written BEFORE the album release??? Stop trolling and open your mind to a new idea. As for the album, this is not a greatest hits album. It is artists reimagining previous work. Give it a chance, stop being sheep and come up with an original opinion.

Go Woke, go broke

Music to fall asleep to.

THIS is the album they should have given away for free. It’s fine that they have reworked older songs, but I’d much rather hear them take a chance with something new. Or do something more unique with the old material, at least.
