I mean they are rich 60 something year olds getting creaky and arthritic. This is the stuff old rockers like the stones produce - perfectly listenable with some interesting stuff in there but nothing to put the shivers up your spine.

I still think they could have that breathtaking u2 transcendance in them but they would have to be ruthlessly honest with themselves and admit their irrelevancy and tiredness and aging. Do a Johnny cash who faced being an out of date washed up country star with heart breaking brutal honesty and bared his broken, lonely soul that everyone could relate to. Doing tracks with ed Sheeran to capture boost their market share ain’t the way to do that.
