Continuing a conversation from a while ago I agree IH, Beautiful Day is sappy. IMO, Elevation kinda blows also "a mole, digging in a hole, digging up my soul now.....
I don't want to be that guy, but U2's earlier work is much better, at least to me. Their sound has become to commercialize for my taste, they still have some good songs here and there, like City of Blinding Lights.
