The U2 Paradox

In the era of 99 cent downloads, U2 continues to conceive of albums as long-form journeys, with individual songs?like chapters in a novel, scenes in a film, or members of a band?contributing to a greater whole. They?ve always thrived on both consistency and change, applying a surprisingly strict formula to their albums while challenging one another to evolve, adapt, and reinvent their sound. And rather than choose between art and commerce, they?ve almost naively struck a course between the two. Especially today, with music acts either serving the marketplace or accepting their niche, U2 has no peer. I listened to every album, B-side, and soundtrack song, watched every music video, movie, live clip, and costume change. If you?re a fan, let?s compare notes. It you?re not, I?ll tell you what you?ve missed.
