They've definitely got a formula, though they break from it slightly sometimes (How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, Zooropa). Overall, the point is that they're meticulous and phenominal at what they do, though most of their music doesn't work for me, it does for millions. I think their music stands as a sonic definition of area rock, and at least they're not as dumb as most arena rock bands.
