I have always believed, and will always believe, that this album is superb, if not a masterpiece.
Biasing might play a big part, but I just don't care. This is the album that, alone, made me a hardcore fan for life.
Simple songwriting, honesty, big heart, great melodies, dreamy soundscapes by Edge and Eno.
Beautiful Day, Stuck In A Moment, Walk On, Kite, When I Look At The World, New York, Grace, The Ground Beneath Her Feet...
I have cried, dreamed and rejoiced along these tunes more than any other U2 release.
Pop might be my favourite U2 album nowadays, but ATYCLB is the U2 album that will always be the closest to my heart.
