Mar 19, 2023Was slightly worried when the singles were released, as it’s always hard to warm to new versions of such beloved and well known songs. But, this album as a whole has reinvigorated and improved upon so many of U2’s songs, both hits and deeps cuts. I know this is an album that’ll only grow on me even more as I listen. Thank you to U2 for the many years of music that means so much to me.

Mar 19, 2023Ótimo disco. Releituras de Dirty Day e Peace On Earth ficaram melhores até do que as versões originais.

Mar 17, 2023Un disco privo di graffi di lotta continua, un disco che poteva prendere come titolo unplugged, hanno tolto la verve alla nuova generazione distogliendola dalla merda della musica moderna. Da persona adulta, ho ancora bisogno di sentirmi vivo, non in un angolo a cercare di percepire ricordi.

Apr 13, 2023Behold: MTV Unplugged reimagined as a torture device. The folks over at Gitmo are getting creative! But U2 deserve an award of some kind. Not every band can turn their most exciting material into lifeless, mind-numbing gruel.

May 8, 2023Unfunny joke. U2 for the last four albums, proves that just when you think it can't get any worse, they release something even worse than the previous album. Might be is right time to retirement

Mar 22, 2023The biggest issue with Songs of Surrender is that U2 often fail to be malleable enough to truly stretch their wings and radically reshape these tracks. They too often, to their detriment, play it safe.

Mar 21, 2023U2 deliver smooth, polished performances that are handsome and, yes, intimate but not especially compelling. It's stylish background music that sounds a bit like it was designed to be heard in chain coffeehouses during the late 2000s.

Mar 21, 2023Nothing here is unforgettable or in danger of replacing its original. The arrangements are formulaic, regressing back to the stripped-down candlelit era of the original MTV’s Unplugged. At worst, Songs of Surrender is an overindulgence. At best, it’s a pleasant interlude.
