SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 4:40 Min.
“Original of the Species” is Track # 10 of U2’s 2004 album, How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb.
REVIEW:
Too reminiscent of U2’s traditional sound, this likable ballad isn’t remarkable on its face. The tune is simply filler material for the album. Yet, both the track’s melody and some thoughtful lyrics are still a cut above U2’s lesser competition in the alternative rock genre.
“Original of the Species” won’t likely justify a solo download, but this song holds up alright nearly twenty years later.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 5 Stars
