The success formula still works: how U2 launches listeners into infinity

U2's sixteenth album, "Carnaval de Luz," showcases a mix of familiar rock sounds and new influences, reflecting their evolution over nine years. While some tracks resonate with classic U2 energy, others lean towards self-help clichés and experimental styles. The album features collaborations, including a notable track with Rosalía, and concludes with a poignant ballad featuring Dolly Parton. Despite mixed reviews on certain songs, the band's signature ability to create anthemic choruses remains intact, promising to engage their audience in stadiums once again.
