Make me sticky, Martin, if you can be bothered, which feels increasingly unlikely these days

Little Things. It’s not completely awful, but it’s pretty boring and doesn’t do anything for me. It’s U2 trying to sound like U2; all the hallmarks of their classic sound are there, but it’s just kind of lackluster and forced. Somehow, people seem to really like this one. I guess the lyrics are decent. Still more overrated than even Kite, IMO. Also still vastly better than many of the other tracks on SOE.

Just think - Martin goes to England and LL disappears for a month or two.  Summer of Love?

I guess Love is Bigger. Not hugely rated but it does get some love and I find it a little sappy.

Seeing as someone voted for YTBTAM as being great, I’ve selected it as overrated given how thumderingly bad it is.

I don't know if I'd say any on SOE are overrated, but I recall quite a bit of hype around LOH when the album was first released. I think it's okay, but hardly the standout song that some claimed intially.

Love is Bigger.

The Killiney Bay part is great. The rest of the song is annoying and pompous.

Indeed and what’s that annoying wha wha noise on either the guitar or vocal in it - or both. Just another example of u2 snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, I suppose. If the rest of the song had been as good as the bridge it would have been a top tier u2 track
