 Rating:  - re-issue excellence !Re-issue CD's like this are an excellent idea! Interesting liner notes, great photos, excellent sound make these packages ideal. Most important it reminds us music fans what we saw and heard in U2 from the beginning! Rating: - Quite a gift to fansOnce again, nice to get this album and the rarities in one nicely updated package. I'm no expert on sound quality but I can assume The Edge knows his stuff about audio and we are getting it the way it should be, without Greedo firing the first shot. Since I missed out on U2's pre-Under A Blood Red Sky period the first time around, it is great to live the experience it must have been like in catching on from the beginning with these re-issues. My only wish was that the live version of "Two Hearts Beat as One" where Bono sings part of Chubby Checker's "The Twist" was included as well. But, I see some of the live extras correspond more with the date they were performed versus the album the song was on, so maybe it will be seen later, ...

The second CD is really nothing new if you have all those tracks from the 80's 12" and 7" craze. I thought they would dump those and add tracks that might have been done during the sessions. Anyway, overall, a great set but not as good as the first two recent remasters because how many times do we really need to hear "New Years Day" & "Two Hearts Beat As One" over & over! Search google, yahoo or msn for our little site "Judemac Forever" and drop us a visit. Rating: - The version to own!Forget the original remaster. You might as well throw that in the trash. THIS is the version you need to own. U2's 1983 masterpiece 'War' gets the remaster-and-reissue treatment, something that it has long since deserved. The record is digitally remastered, meaning the sound quality is great. Island Records did a great job. While 'The Joshua Tree' was their breakthrough, 'War' guaranteed they were here to stay. This album has many of your favorite U2 songs from the '80s. 'Sunday Bloody Sunday,' 'New Year's Day,' '40,' 'Two Hearts Beat As One,' 'Seconds,' and 'Surrender' are fan favorites, and they are all here on 'War.' The bonus disc, however, is not as good as 'October' and 'Boy,' but it is really good. ...

Some songs like "Surrender" are actually close to or are actually clipping in certain areas, which is a real shame. I'm also confused as to why the longer versions of "Seconds", "New Year's Day" and "Like a Song" weren't used in the re-mastering effort. But Disc2 is where my confusion really starts to sink in. Many songs have been available as import CD Singles or B-sides and it's nice to have them all together on one CD. And "Angels Too Tied To the Ground" is a new song for this very long U2 fan, so that was a very nice surprise. However, they should have ... Read More: |
