© ap. Frontman Bono openly doubted whether U2 began to be irrelevant. The twelfth group album No Line on the Horizon (2009) was a deep disappointment and sales for the singles charts remained out of reach.
What needed the quartet was a substantial injection of new energy and youthfulness. A record that the “biggest band in the world” would sheds. Safely to a new phase of his career That the release date for that key album ever was moved, supported the idea of a self doubting band
Financial risk
a big publicity hit Bono & amp escaped.; co last night from the waiting room. Risky perhaps to passionately embrace the responsible company in the wake of the leak of thousands of photos of celebrities but with the sale of Songs of Innocence at Apple is the financial risk in one fell swoop hedged.
In addition, you will find the free music made its way to many more listeners than the approximately 5 million buyers from No Line on the Horizon. In comparison predecessor How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb sold three times
Hit Parade
Songs of Innocence is not surprising in that light for U2′s big return to pop music.. For world music influences and dance outings is no place this is U2 on the hunt for the charts. The album is as always a grand scale, but it sounds lively and colorful. With a few clear at the stadium written rockers U2 put the counterattack on youthful challengers as The Killers, Kings of Leon, and – the biggest rival -. Coldplay
While U2 as five young producers (Danger Mouse, Paul Epworth Ryan Tedder, Declan Gaffney and Flood) to Songs of Innocence left work, the album sounds surprisingly coherent and ultimately just really like U2. Lyrically it is primarily a celebration of the roots and inspirations of the group. The album includes tributes to Joey Ramone (The Miracle of Joey Ramone) and Joe Strummer of The Clash (This Is Where You Can Reach Me Now) and songs about growing up in Dublin (Raised By Wolves and Cedarwood Road). Bono’s deceased mother is being honored at the touching Iris (Hold Me Close).
Success Number
glam rock-influenced ode to Ramone is perhaps the strongest song on the record. With catchy oh-oh-oh-chorus and blunted guitar riffs, the song both a glance over the shoulder as a nod to the current charts where every successful issue contains a shout along to ring immediately. Volcano also drives quickly up as an album favorite, especially thanks to the groovy bass of Adam Clayton
Every Breaking Wave is U2 at klassiekst:. A lingering ballad with Bono on vocals at the end of its range over the nagging guitar from The Edge. Also Song for Someone (produced by Ryan Tedder, known for his work with Adele) fits in the line of lighters-in-the-air songs as One of With or Without You.
At times doing Songs of Innocence too much his best to pleasen. A headstrong classic that redefines the work of U2 so the plate is not. But the album is indeed the hoped bridge connection for a glittering career fall.
