In light of all the wonderful reviews from various publications around
the world that people have been posting, I thought it was time to
balance things up a bit. This is taken from 'revolver', a free
music/arts newspaper published weekly in Sydney (which is generally
quite excellent):

U2
The Sweetest Thing
This is errky. To paraphrase Regurgitator - I like their later middle
period stuff better than their new material from their early middle
period stuff (?) Truly this is the sweetest thing I have heard for a
while, but you know too much sugar can rot your teeth. And as for the
constant interruptions from that boy vocal group singing the refrain,
blech! What's the matter do they have writer's block? This also
includes two live recordings from 1981 that I think they were very brave
to release.

Now, remember, before you start flaming me, these are not my words and I
already know that the writer is misinformed, has no taste, probably
loves the Spice Girls, etc. etc... Just thought peolpe might get a
chuckle.
