reviews
Kite

I find it a bit amazing that the fifth release from U2's album All That You Can't Leave Behind is as good a song as this is. Usually, if an artist can make it to five releases from a CD, they are a bit on the crappy side of quality. Although Kite doesn't have quite the feeling and chillingness of Stuck In A Moment, it's a great song from them. Bono signature voice is on this soft rock track which makes it so easy to know that it is U2 and it is memorable. Since it is the fifth release from the disc, it probably won't perform very well on the charts but that doesn't diminish the fact that this song is deserving of all the praise it gets. B12/8/01



history

U2 remain one of the biggest bands of the last 25 years and they continue to have consistant chart success on The Max. Their 2000 release All That You Can't Leave Behind was one of the biggest of their career and gave them their biggest hit on The Max's chart history from 1998 onward with Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of along with four other chart hits. They continue to accumulate hits and the future looks to be no different.
