Binil and Vineeth, see my post here,
I am dissapointed with the Grammy committee – or was that a bad year for rock music.
I didnt hear the album throughly, but from what I heard, I _still_ think that its a rehash of Joshua Tree.
But maybe the takehome point here is that Joshua Tree is such a great album that even a poor copy is worth Grammies
Cheerio,
