  1. When it Falls, while not a masterpiece, is a nice album which will likely appeal to a very broad fan base.
  2. It took U2 10 years to reach this level of blandness.
  3. Perhaps spurred by the ease with which the Boring Solo has been grafted on to their chosen template, When It Falls finds Zero 7 expanding their horizons and going on to be boring in other areas.
