A Good SamplerThis is a good sampler of U2's earlier work. It is not complete enough to satisfy a hard core fan, but it probably doesn't need to do so. Those fans probably already own several of the earlier albums.
This really should have probably been a two disk compilation. At least two of the great songs were shortened on this version: 'New Year's Day' and 'Where the Streets Have No Name'. There are also some songs that were not included at all. In fact, there were no cuts from 'October' which was an excellent album.
This isn't a bad start to a U2 collection. However, if you like them, you will undoubtedly want more. Where is Gloria? An exercise in ax grindingMan, this album bugs me. Not that the songs aren't great (they are) and not because there are some understandable omissions (great bands are never able to fit all the deserving songs on a single disc). This album gets under my skin because they completely ignore the October record.
When U2 were building their US fan base in the early 80's, MTV played the heck out of Gloria; it was a great song. The whole October album is pretty darned good and to pretend it never existed is baffling. When you remember that this collection was originally released as a double CD with a second disc of B-sides, it just adds insult to injury.
Cuando U2 s? eran Cl??sicosUn gran Best Of para una gran d?©cada ( la mejor de U2 en mi opini??n ). No obstante comparto la opini??n de un fan, que podr?an haber inclu?do un par de canciones m??s. No entiendo por qu?© los best of ( desde la d?©cada de los 90 empez?? esta moda, creo ) TIENEN que tener un tema nuevo ?? para qu?© ? si nadie conoc?a esa canci??n nueva, adem??s que quita espacio a alguna que s? podr?a haber sido inclu?da. Sin embargo, eso no quita que este Best Of sea bueno y sobre todo necesario para los fans que empiezan a conocer U2 o que no vivieron esa ?©poca de los 80.
Este hubiese sido el Best Of perfecto:
1- I will Follow
2- Gloria
3- Sunday Bloody Sunday
4- New Year's Day
5- Pride ( in the name of love )
6- The Unforgettable Fire
7- Bad
8- Bullet The Blue Sky
9- Running To Stand Still
10-Where The Streets Have No Name
11-I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
12-With Or Without You
13-Desire
14-When Love Comes To Town
15-Angel Of Harlem
16-All I Want Is You |
