Thom's writing is a lot more subtly beautiful than Bono's, which relies on a lot of (blech) Christian imagery and Smiths-y proclamations of love. The chorus of All I Need is beautiful, because the way Thom proclaims his love in that song is so Un-U2 that it's ironic how similar the songs are stylistically.
