Tracks 3-5 are a fucking pukefest.

Blackout coulda been great but the lyrics are embarrassing.

American Soul

How this made the cut in place of BOYH remains a mystery for the ages.

The Blackout.

They actually put back this album some time in order to include this kind of dross.

The future is bright at Everton FC  8)

Guys, why the hate for the blackout? It’s actually got a pretty solid chorus and I really like edges guitar. As usual, it’s the lyrics that make the song unlistenable. Does Bono not have a trusted friend that says ‘mate, that sounds shit’? Obviously not.

Many options. The worst one for me is GOOYOW: Derivative, cringey, and one of Bono"s worst lyrics. American Soul is a very close contender. Then Best Thing and The Blackout.

American Soul is the worst thing that the band has released. GOOYOW and YTBTAM are bad too, and Blackout sucks but was kinda cool live. Those four tracks make NLOTH’s middle three look like Joshua Tree’s opening three.

Showman -   Self indulgent vomit.  Grating.   Hard to believe there is a song beneath AS and Blackout

A.I. could generate less generic crap than this song.

I disagree.

The following are way worse than AS:

Atomic city
Ahimsa
The football song
YSSML
Pride
Crazy Tonight
Boots

to name but a few
