Free Music Review: Me Too?
Hit: 1 Stars
Let me tell you somethin', this is one powerful band. Back when I was a youngster, I couldn't be bothered to think about much except for u2, David Lee Roth, and the Fat Boys. My school work sure did suffer as a result of these 3 Artistes Grande! I remember even blowing off the assignment of reading "Beowulf" so I could read my slightly used paperback about the rock godz, u2. They was all devout christians, except for the manager, and the bass player Michael Clayton. Him and the manager used to partake in their share of the vices, whilst the other 3 blokes (that's what they call "mates" in the British empire) were being devout and cranking out more hits than you could wave a flag at.
Unfortunatley, the period of 1990 to 2000 was not good neither for me or for this once proud band of blokes. I tell you the truth, I was encouraged because of the pictures of the buffaloes on the cover. Perhaps there was a catchy campfire song or somethin' to play during a spirited boar roast. Those of you familiar with my other reviews know that Boar Roastin' songs is my second favourite genre to Sea Shanties. But when this CD arrived at my flat (that's what apartments are called in the British Empire) it was not to be.
I'm not no expert of music, but I believe that the problem with the limitation of u2's music from 1990-200, is the marginalization of the bass playing of Michael Clayton. Half of these songs sound like they have a keyboard playing the bass instead of him. Could it be that the religious differences of this band had finally caused a "riff"? I don't know. But I feel bad for Michael Clayton because Paul Hewson is no saint either, you know. A few years back, I was at a u2 concert where he made everybody be quiet while he clapped his hands. He said "everytime I clap my hands, another child dies". I screamed from my not-very-good seats to "please stop clappin' his hands then!!!" If that's what gets you into the U.N these days, then I fear for all of us. Let's hope for better things during the years 2010-2020!
U2 - The Best of 1990-2000 Poster
U2's second decade often seemed as preoccupied with the band's burgeoning superstardom--and how to confront/confound it--as it did with creating music. The band managed only four albums during the era (only half of its '80s output), projects whose gestations seemed perennially plagued by turmoil as much as mercurial creative instincts. But as this anthology chronicles, U2 ultimately managed a considerable feat: producing a memorable, lasting body of work in a decade where one of pop music's chief attributes was its disposability. The disc mixes hits like "Mysterious Ways" and "One" with seductive soundtrack cuts (the title track to Wim Wenders's Until the End of the World, Batman Forever's "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me"), new mixes of "Discotheque," "Staring at the Sun," and "Numb," and a pair of strong new tracks, the Orbit mix of "Electrical Storm" and "The Hands that Built America," the title track from Martin Scorsese's Gangs of New York. --Jerry McCulleyAlternative Rock Music CDs
