So, what's the big deal about "All That You Can't Leave Behind"? It's highly acclaimed and shows up on a lot of best of lists. It's listed at #139 on Rolling Stone's top 500 albums of all time. I think it won some grammys too, (not that a grammy is really an indicator of a goood album).

IMO it's okay but it isn't a ground-breaking album like "Joshua Tree" or "Achtung Baby".
"Kite" and "Stuck in a Moment.." are good songs. "New York" is boring.
It's not an album that I grab off the shelf very often.
I expected more from U2, (with Eno and Lanois), at this point.

I just don't get that it is so highly rated. Maybe my expectation for U2 has been raised too high.

"How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb" shows no change either.
They are losing their "free pass" with me.
