He doesn't sound old enough to listen to U2. Blue's Clues
singalongs are more his pace. I wonder where he learned to
talk like that? His parents probably forgot to activate Net
Nanny before they went out for the night, then he snuck onto
their computer while the babysitter wasn't looking and wrote
that review. Man is he gonna get it when his mom finds out.
No writing NME articles for one week! This is almost as bad
as the time they caught him kissing his sister's NSYNC
poster.

U2 - Beautiful Day (Island)
Ooh Too! Oh no! Bongo's 'sincere' vocals, the Mike And The Mechanics
corporate rock production values, the pithy-by-numbers lyrics, the
effortlessly earnest 'soulfulness' of it all, the squeezy 'compassion',
the...excuse me...urk...HIIIIIIIIIK RAAAAAAAALPH! Sorry about that. Yes,
they're back! The REAL Ooh Too. Not the 'ironic' punky prankster
situationist Ooh Too. And not the 'ironic' crazy, mental, disco Ooh Too
either. Oh no, Y'see Ooh Too have gone right back to good ole shit-sucking,
bland-as-bastard buggery, smug as a ruptured duck and feverishly God's
cucksucking fucking roots, dude. Jesus Christ but this is AWFUL! For music's
sake, let Mark Chapman out, tool the fucker up and buy him a one way tick to
Dublin. And aim low, Mark, aim low.

I must say I found that quite amusing, apart from the mark chapman bit.
It's interesting to see that whenever critics (or anybody) insult U2 they
cannot bring themselves to insult the music directly, because secretly they
know it's too good and can't really be attacked.
"good ole shit-sucking,
bland-as-bastard buggery, smug as a ruptured duck and feverishly God's
cucksucking fucking roots"
Now you have to admit that that is one hell of a sentence. But it doesn't
talk about the music. I've observed this many times. When my friends (most
of whom hate U2) try to get at me by saying U2 sucks, and I ask them why,
it's always some half arsed response like "well they're all political" or
"Bono is a dick". Somehow people know that when it comes down to the music,
U2 can't be criticised.
Because they're the best band in the world. Simple as that.

I experience the similar thing.......they say they hate U2 because their ex
liked them, or because their sick of their hubby wanting to put a U2 cd on, or
they are sick of me singing their songs....(yet I get told to deal with it when
they are continuously singing Britney Feral Spears), no-one ever has ever said
the music is crap. I have even had some admissions from friends around the
time of the Best Of release, that in actual fact they do like the music, as
they head off to the cd shop...."ahhh, but I still do not lke U2, you know.."
Go figure!
CHEERS:)
