Zach Schlein who writes for Miami New times just slammed the mic on the ground when it comes to U2. All of the concerns of U2's relevance made abundantly clear from this writer perspective.
U2 has been working on their new album for some time, and yes we have all heard about the band's desire to be relevant. Zach provides a clear picture of millennial wants and music tastes. Zach writes" They love avocados and the dog Snapchat filter.
