Review

You know the game where for hoots and hollers you sing rock songs in your most formal operatic voice? Well, U2 as interpreted by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra is more than a bit like that. And if you can get past your no-way-Jose, better-than-the-real-thing snorts and guffaws, hats off to you. There are small rewards for doing so: "One" swings with a jazzy groove; the classical guitar that opens "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses" is delicate and lovely; and the brass is stunning on "Angel of Harlem." But better to have strayed further from the originals (even the finest of the batch, the rework of "All I Want Is You"), the collection is so mild that it rouses little more than idle appreciation and irreverent giggles. --Paige La Grone
