If "Sleight of Hand" were anything like U2 (it's not. not really) it'd be Achtung Baby / Zooropa U2. The cool U2.

It doesn't get much better than the Achtung Baby - Atomic Bomb. Joshua Tree is wonderful too. Zoo TV and Pop Mart are amazing.

U Talkin' U2 To Me?
WITH ADAM SCOTT AND SCOTT AUKERMAN

In anticipation of U2’s latest album release, Adam Scott (Parks and Recreation) and Scott Aukerman (Comedy Bang! Bang!) come together as superfan Adam Scott Aukerman to discuss the music and impact of the band. Listen in as these friends cover everything from Boy to No Line on the Horizon, and reveal a little something about themselves along the way.

It's basically a comedy podcast that talks about U2's discography once in a while. Might be an acquired taste.

To continue the U2 hijacking of this matchup, I found the U2 thread that caused quite the stir in PJ chat 4 score and minus 76 years ago:

I like that album and I would like PJ to shake things up a bit like that. And I miss lament and heathen.

And I voted Sleight of Hand. KD and an intense listen made me sadly realise that it is my reality at the moment. I had a plan....

Yeah, I'll admit it, KD made me change my vote to SoH.

(Just like I clearly made him realize Animal was top of the pops).

Alive, like Betterman is a song I take for granted. It really is a fantastic tune. However, I'm voting for SOH.
