VR's (Contraband) Vs U2's (How To dismantle...)

[GnRmaniac]

Which album do you think is better?

[matt_barker]

contrabnad

[Bono]

I'll go with How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. I'm gonna guess though that Contraband will win this poll considering where it's taking place(Gn'R forum) Contraband has no feeling. Sure it may rock hard at times but it's empty. HTDAAB is U2's best album since Achtung baby and possibly thier most emotional album. there is no comparison in my mind.

This poll should be limited to only people who have actually heard both albums.

im more on the old school rock, but i like u2s album also.

[Genesis]

I havent heard both, so I cannot vote.

[Shia0bundan]

I bet a lot of people haven't heard both albums but voted for Contraband anyway.

I can't vote because I haven't heard U2's album. I bet its better than Contraband though.

U2 HTDAAB

More feeling and is better all around

U2'S album'

I bought contraband awhile ago and only listened to it a few times. Its just boring

[slashs_servant]

If you listen to the vines - get free, the riff to it is excactly the same as vertigo. U2's album sucks, sounds too much like U2, like ive heard the same songs a trillion times over

[Rokkistarba]

u2

[vr2004]

I haven't heard u-2's album, just two songs.. I think vertigo is cool, but it is kind of pop like n radio friendly..

Polls like these are dumb, they need to be put on a open rock forum where neither is dedicated to u-2 or vr..

[Guest katie]

i h8 them both

[-leah-]

U2 put out a great album in 2004, but I would rather listen to Contraband.

U2- How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb... I liked it so much more than Contraband.

Both are great hard rock albums. I didn't like Contraband when i first bought it, but the tracks have grown on me and i like it alot now, and listen to it regulary. HTDAAB is a good album with some great songs, however there are some songs on the album which seem to let the rest of it down.

I think the problem with U2 is that they have such a rich back catalouge, with some huge hits and some unforgettable albums so obviously the new stuff with be compared to TJT etc. Obviously Contraband was a debut and therefore it will not be compared to previous albums - well only the GNR ones.

So overall i think Contraband wins it for me.
