The prevailing narrative is that U2 was essentially done with Songs of Experience in 2016, then decided to rewrite much of the album to reflect the world-shaking sociopolitical eruptions of Brexit and Trump's election. In which our heroes return with a companion album to their least-loved release.
'Songs of Experience' is the 14th and latest album by U2.
These are all the albums you can't leave behind (and a few that you probably can). With a new U2 album upon us- Songs of Experience, released last Friday, is a sort of companion piece to 2014's Songs of Innocence-we're revisiting the band's back catalog in detail and ranking every album from worst to best. U2 is too big to fail, even when it does. The band's recent Joshua Tree 30th anniversary tour reminded us how enduring the band's best work remains in uncertain times. Since then, the Irish band's rich discography has spanned genres and transcended chart trends, incorporating post-punk ( War), classic rock ( Rattle and Hum), electronica ( Achtung Baby) and whatever the hell Zooropais. Three things on this dying planet are certain: death, taxes and the reliable appearance of a new U2 album every three to five years until the end of time.Įmpires have fallen, pop stars have come and gone and technology has rewired the world in the decades since U2's exhilarating Boy appeared in the autumn of 1980.
