Freedom has a scent
Like the top of a new born baby's head
I know exactly what they mean.
U2's 2004 album, How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, displays both the band's excesses (mostly when Bono's lyrics, not infrequently, go 100% bombastic) and its strengths (mostly the atmospheric guitar touches of The Edge, about which I've written previously).
Miracle Drug is one of my favorites from the album. At 2:45 listen to the guitar pattern solo by The Edge and then his playing during the verse in which he deploys his trademark; distinctive tonal strokes in that gray area between lead and rhythm guitar.
