>anthem after anthem>strong melodies front to back>timeless proto-albini mixing style>massive drums that don't sound digital as in goth and other post-punk>epic european cold war feel underneath>understated influence on Chameleons UK and Post-Punk revivalthis album is top-tier OG post-punk, just like Entertainment, Jeopardy and Pornography.

>>129802621isnt 1983 a little late for being OG
U2 gets hated the same way Imagine Dragons gets hated nowadays. It's not seen as highbrow (enough) and the mass appeal causes resentment from hipsters. Meanwhile, they're both nothing but good for music and their audiences.
as a 90s kid i grew up thinking u2 were a lame boomer normie band but years later i finally gave them an honest listen and their debut (boy) through joshua tree were all actually pretty good
The truth is that U2 is complete shit

>>129802819I absolutely agree !!! U2, Imagine Dragons, the Beatles, Kiss, are all amazing rock legends on the same level as Nickelback !
>>129803323U2? yes. War? no.
>>129802621Had they disbanded in 2000 they would be lauded as one of the GOATs and /mu/ wouldn't piss and shit everytime they see their name. Their 90s run is legendary.
