After experimenting through Achtung Baby, Zooropa and Pop U2 return to their roots. "All That You Can't Leave Behind" is a great collection of songs which should please most if not all tastes.
The first track "Beautiful Day" has already been a UK number 1. It is one of the rockier tracks on the cd.
The second track "Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of" is a particular highlight on the album. At first it sounds a bit low key but after a few listens it really grows and is one of the catchier songs in recent memory.
The third song that really stood out for me was "Kite". This is a difficult song to describe but I hope it is released as a single as it deserves as wide an audience as possible.
The good sign of an exceptional album is that the choices for future single releases are not obvious. Any one of 8 tracks could be released and would probably be successful in the charts.
If you like U2 from the Joshua Tree you will love this album. It doesn't reach the heights that the Joshua Tree did but after recent releases from U2 I feared that they would never reach that level again.
Give it a try!
