All that you can't leave behind

"The album hit the right balance between what had come before and what was to follow. All You Can't Leave Behind displayed all the skills of songcraft the band had developed over their first 20 years and provided an inspiring listening experience. All the while making it look oh so effortless. I recommend the listener forget all the baggage that has since been loaded onto U2 and simply sit back and enjoy a great recording with All You Can't Leave Behind, you won't regret it".

"Even without the accompanying bells and whistles, revisiting this record - arguably U2's last great album, or at least their last consistent one - is a thoroughly enjoyable experience, from the overplayed yet still effervescent Beautiful Day through the poignant Kite and the winsome, breezy bounce of Wild Honey".

"Like any work from craftsmen, All That You Can't Leave Behind winds up being a work of modest pleasures, where the way the verse eases into the chorus means more than the overall message, and this is truly the first U2 album where that sentiment applies - but there is genuine pleasure in their craft, for the band and listener alike".
