The A.V. Club

U2 is known for being unabashedly earnest, but that hasn't kept the Dubliners from making brilliantly savvy career moves: Rather than stay rooted in the familiar guitar-rock epicry that made it arguably the biggest band in the world, U2 spent the '90s...read the complete review at The A.V. Club
