"Are you f***ing kidding? It's the best album of the year, no question, way better than anything U2 have ever done."įighting words because I was pretty big U2 fan at the time.Īnyway, all these years later - it's the Waterboys who continue to amaze me. And then This Is The Sea came out and I was in the process of ignoring it more or less completely when a younger friend called me an idiot. I certainly didn't hate it, but I probably only listened to it once. This was my attitude on first hearing them - their second album Pagan Place. ![]() Pretty sure Robert Christgau dismissed The Waterboys at the time as "arty but unfocused U2 contenders,"
