The deadly European virus that has always been this band's curse here turns out to be their characteristic melodic device--an unresolved medieval fifth most commonly associated with monks in Hollywood movies. Other than that, their new album is hot rock-and-roll indeed--the Edge becomes a tuneful guitarist by the simple expedient of not soloing and if Bono still has too many Gregorian moments his conviction carries the music. Anyway, I'll take his militant (if pacifist) Christianity over the secular humanism and Jah love so many rockers are going for these days. B

Wish they'd died in a plane crash in 1992 so we were spared everything that followed.
