Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Discotheque - part 1Not happy with the way things turned out for October, U2 decided to simplify things for War, in search of a rawer more powerful sound. And it was a success among critics and public. But I never enjoyed War that much. For me it is one of the most uninteresting albums U2 ever cut. All the passion and delicate emotional instrumentation that made Boy and October such good records are exchanged for thundering drums and Bono shouting out his political agenda on mostly underdeveloped songs. Songs like Seconds, Red Light or Drowning Man are uninteresting and boring. Like A Song is ok but a bit déjà vu. Two Hearts Beat As One and Surrender are also good enough songs but they scream so unashamedly for radio play that make me uneasy about ... Read More: Rating: - Like Little BoysIf you are like me, finding it harder to pursue one's hobby of pretty wee boys, then you too, probably, were first aroused to U2 by their delightful cover art. Underneath the sexy cover lies a CD with some good music on it. First track "Sunday Bloody Sunday" epitomizes them lazy Sunday afternoons. When nothing is open, and there is nothing to do. When you think to yourself "Sigh! Sunday BLOODY Sunday" and you almost (hahahaha not really) cannot wait for the next day - Monday. The drummer is clearly aware of Bona's ironic stance, with military drumming as this humerous first track's backdrop. Unfortunately it is all down-hill from there, as the singer gets comfused and thinks that we are all about to be nuked, and that ... Read More: 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, ... Read More: Rating: - One Of Their Best *But* Love the CD and the guys who have reviewed it really did good jobs, the first disc is great, really good sound, compaired to the original. 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!
