Don't get me wrong. I'm all for ditching the horrible and outdated U2/Coldplay sound. Now that U2 is finally uncool, Jon needs a new critical acclaimed style to latch onto. But this is too modern for a band with that kind of trajectory. If Jon thinks he can win the young crowd at this point of the game he's in for a big shock.

I don't mind this musical 180 for a one-off song, like they did with BAT. I just don't think it'll work for a whole album
