After the 'dance records' Achtung Baby, Zooropa and Pop, U2 is back with its tenth studio album to the sound the band had in the eighties. All That You Can't Leave Behind, produced by regular employees Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois, regularly reminds us of CDs like The Unforgettable Fire and The Joshua Tree, without sounding outdated anywhere. The emphasis is more on the songs, the dance beats have
… almost disappeared and the synthesizer sounds have been exchanged for the typical guitar sounds of The Edge. The highlights of this old-fashioned U2 record are the number one hit Beautiful Day, the gospel-like Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of, the powerful Elevation, Kite and Peace On Earth. (WvdZ)more
