It's not just The Edge who is mixed too low. The entire band is barely there. It feels like a Bono solo album. And he used to come up with great riffs (there is that word again), cool sound, etc. but now it feels like aural wallpaper.
You got a bum copy, somehow. I hear the whole band and Bono doesn't sound any louder than any other singer. When I say "I don't hear it", I literally mean that is not what I'm hearing. This is one of the riffiest batch of songs I've heard from Teh Edge. I feel like they accidentally slipped you a copy of ATYCLB and you just didn't notice.
