Editorial Reviews :
U2's second decade often seemed as preoccupied with the band's burgeoning superstardom--and how to confront/confound it--as it did with creating music. The band managed only four albums during the era (only of half its '80s output), projects whose gestations seemed perennially plagued by turmoil as much as mercurial creative instincts. But as this rewarding, 30-track double-disc anthology (and bonus DVD) chronicles, U2 ultimately managed a considerable feat: producing a memorable, lasting body of work in a decade when one of pop music's chief attributes was its disposability. Disc one mixes hits like 'Mysterious Ways' and 'One' with seductive soundtrack cuts (the title track to Wim Wenders's Until the End of the World, Batman Forever's 'Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me'), new mixes of 'Discotheque,' 'Staring at the Sun,' and 'Numb,' and a pair of strong new tracks, the Orbit mix of 'Electrical Storm' and 'The Hands that Built America,' the title track from Martin Scorsese's Gangs of New York. The second disc compiles the band's more experimental B-sides from the epoch (many of them remixes), and offers up a concise encapsulation of the band's fascination with--and shrewd incorporation of--electronica and club music. The bonus DVD contains a generous collection of videos of songs from disc one, along with alternate versions, director commentaries, additional bonus tracks such as 'If God Will Send His Angels' and 'Lemon,' as well as a mini-documentary of the band's historic 1997 Bosnian concert, The Road to Sarajevo.
Buyer Reviews :
I am an avid U2 fan, I have all their albums, so ANY Greatest hits collection would be a waste for me, but with 2 new songs on this I went out to buy it. It has new versions of a couple songs. I think this collection is put together knowing that real fans would buy it for the B sides, but the songs chosen don't really show the greatness of the 90's U2.The first Best of was better.
