[sorry no image, blogger is being temperamental tonight...]
In my opinion, U2 went downhill after The Unforgettable Fire (1984). Their early stuff was very edgy and punky and then this album came out as a set of vibrant pop anthems, expanding their sound. Problem is, they indulged in both their popularity and the softer side of their sound too much after that and really lost something that, as far as I've heard, they've never regained.
Here is the title track from that album. (Couldn't embed; disabled)

While I largely agree with your assertion, you must go back and listen to 'Achtung Baby'- easily the band's best album since Boy and War.
