    On Days of Ash and especially Easter Lily, U2 sound wholly reinvigorated. They are not striving for world domination; they are just content being themselves, relevance be damned.

    It's U2 reconnecting with first principles, all big choruses and defiant optimism, and is confidently glorious. [Jun 2026, p.35]

    These are certainly boss songs – Easter Lily feels like the strongest collection of material U2 have mustered in at least 20 years.

    Easter Lily, released on Good Friday, offers the visceral, emotional experience that U2 fans have been yearning for the longest time.

    This set veers more toward the earnest and inspirational stadium-singalong-anthem part of the band's personality (think "City of Blinding Lights," "Where the Streets Have No Name," "I Still Haven't Found..." and that ilk).
