Music reviews of All That You Can't Leave Behind
Music Review: Soul Music
Rating: 5 Stars
This is the first U2 album I ever listened to, and I would have to say that it is still my favorite. I've heard a lot of people whine about how "it's not a rock album." Well, I don't think it's supposed to be a "rock" album in the way most people think; in other words, it's not Achtung Baby. I've always thought of All That You Can't Leave Behind as a chilled-out album. To me, it's a soothing, thought-provoking album with beautiful songwriting that's not meant to be a head-bangin' rock CD (with "Elevation" being the exception). If you are up to speed on your U2ology, then you would know the circumstances and mindset under which the band wrote this album and might appreciate it more (if you don't already). I highly recommend it to all the intuitive, deep thinkers out there, but not to the head-bangers.
Description of All That You Can't Leave Behind
The foursome come roaring out of the blocks with their latest collection. The album's first single, "Beautiful Day," raced to the No. 1 slot on the U.K. singles charts and received a similar rapturous reception stateside. From its shimmering preamble to its sweeping, infectious chorus, it perfectly stakes out the middle ground between the anthemic U2 of the '80s and the more grounded group of the '90s. With Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno sharing production chores again after having taken a break with Pop, the U2 team enters the new millennium with their lineup--and mission--intact. --Steven StolderIf U2 hadn't used the title already, "A Sort of Homecoming" might have suited this, their 10th studio album. All That You Can't Leave Behind sounds, at various points, like any or all of U2's previous albums, as if the band is sending postcards back from a protracted ramble through previously conquered territories. The euphoric opening track, "Beautiful Day," reintroduces Edge's signature delay-laden guitar, which has been pretty much absent since The Unforgettable Fire. Elsewhere, the gospel stylings of Rattle and Hum resurface on "Stuck in a Moment," and the deranged, Prodigy-influenced dance textures that characterized 1997's Pop crop up on "Elevation." None of which suggest that this commendably restless bunch is running out of ideas. Having spent the '90s making three of the most bizarre and adventurous albums ever delivered by a stadium-rock band (the consecutive masterpieces Achtung Baby, Zooropa, and Pop), it's as if they're now trying to figure out what is the one particular thing they've always done best. Based on the evidence presented here, their forte remains a facility for making the epic statement alongside Bono's increasing lyrical intimacy: "Walk On" and "Peace on Earth" are two of the best things he's ever written or sung. All That You Can't Leave Behind confirms that U2's laurels are still making them itch. --Andrew Mueller
