Album Rating: 2.3

Crumbs From Your Table is easily one of the best here though, agreed those other three are also trash. Mercy is easily their best post-2000s song I'm so pissed they cut it

Album Rating: 2.5

A man and a woman as well though. Fuck there are some horrible songs on here.



Mercy is pre-nice yeah.

Album Rating: 2.3

the original version of Vertigo, Native Son is much better as well. this is really just an album you could delete and only listen to the b-sides tbh

Album Rating: 2.5

Yeah I was just about to say something about Native Son as well. (City of Blinding lights is still a dope jam)

Album Rating: 2.3

Native Son

Fast Cars

Miracle Drug

Sometimes You Can't Make It version from the b-sides album

Are You Gonna Wait Forever

City of Blinding Lights

All Because of You

Crumbs from Your Table

Smile

Mercy



that's like an easy 4 at least right there

Album Rating: 3.0

Im pretty sure native son was an early version of vertigo



Fuck i forgot how bad a man and a woman is. Yea the b sides are a lot better than most of the songs here. Especially mercy.



That era of u2 (this and ATYCLB) had some killer outtakes

Album Rating: 2.3

Native Son is an early version of Vertigo yeah, and is way better. Yeah The Ground Beneath her Feet is like the best song from ATYCLB easily tbh

Album Rating: 3.0

Ground beneath her feet, stateless, levitate are all better than most of that album



Despite the bad cuts here, miracle drug is the best post pop u2 song imo

Album Rating: 2.3

hmm



Kite, Ground, Miracle Drug, Mercy, Moment of Surrender are about the only ones I really love

Album Rating: 3.0

Oh yeah. Kite is excellent as well.



Never really got the love for moment. It's a good track, but it overstays it's welcome imo. Unknown caller is prob the highlight from that album for me

Album Rating: 3.2

This discussion just opened my eyes to a bunch of U2 songs I wasn't aware of, so thanks for that.



Rowan I'm gonna try that playlist, it looks like an improvement for sure.

Album Rating: 3.0

Here's my better version of the album



1. Native Son

2. Miracle Drug

3. Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own (B-side version)

4. Are You Gonna Wait Forever

5. City of Blinding Lights

6. All Because of You

7. Smile

8. Fast Cars

9. Mercy

10. Yahweh



Window in the skies would be a decent closer to the album tho im not sure it was written during these sessions

Album Rating: 3.2

I'm curious to hear Smile, Skies, Mercy, and Native Son for the first time. These new playlists look like an improvement, even though I like Vertigo, despite how overplayed it is.

Album Rating: 3.0

Mercy is outstanding, and i'd definitely consider native son an upgrade, although i also enjoy vertigo. Kinda like always compared to beautiful day

Album Rating: 4.0

so basically some of you just wanted this to be more "U2 by the numbers"



Man & a Woman is one of my favorite tracks on here

Album Rating: 2.3

no we just wanted it to be good





also good list bubs looks like we like pretty much all the same songs

Album Rating: 3.2

Crumbs is better than Yahweh but yeah your lists are basically the same.

Album Rating: 3.0

Gotta say. I never really liked crumbs all that much. I wouldnt say its love and peace or man and a woman bad, but its never been a track ive felt anything for. Always kinda liked yahweh tho. If anything its a pretty good closer to the album with a strong anthemic chorus, albeit a very by the numbers one



Ive at this point compiled all of this into an album on my computer. Even changed the album cover to the city of blinding lights single cover. It's a significantly better record

Album Rating: 2.3

Yahweh is alright but the chorus is literally just the one word over and over which kinda kills it for me. Crumbs is great though, best lyrics on this album and great chorus

Album Rating: 3.2

I relistened to Yahweh and yea it's a good song. Rowan that's not completely true, he chants it like a prayer but says other things in the chorus too.
