It’s only March, but I think you will be hard pressed to find a finer album this year than U2’s new one. I might write a review down the line (ha! Pun), but for now: just buy the thing! It’s the best thing they’ve released since ’91.

I love the lyrical content (and song) of Magnificent:
Magnificent Magnificent. I was born I was born to be with you. In this space and time
After that and ever after I haven’t had a clue. Only to break rhyme. This foolishness can leave a heart black and blue Only love, only love can leave such a mark. But only love, only love can heal such a scar
I was born. I was born to sing for you. I didn’t have a choice but to lift you up. And sing whatever song you wanted me to I give you back my voice From the womb my first cry, it was a joyful noise…
Only love, only love can leave such a mark But only love, only love can heal such a scar. Justified till we die, you and I will magnify The Magnificent Magnificent Only love, only love can leave such a mark But only love, only love unites our hearts Justified till we die, you and I will magnify The Magnificent
Magnificent Magnificent
My three favorites right now are “Moment of Surrender,” “Breathe,” and “Cedars of Lebanon.” But the whole thing is really great.
