U2's 'Songs of Surrender': A Reinterpretation of Their Best-Known Hits.
U2's latest album, Songs of Surrender, features re-recorded versions of 40 songs from their four-decade career, presented from a fresh viewpoint. Divided into four parts, one for each band member, the album surveys the ups and downs, successes and failures, and massive hits and lesser-known songs that are at the center of U2's story. While some songs gain worn-in qualities not heard in the originals, others lose their youthful vigor. Overall, the album is about contemplation of the band's history and growth over the years.
