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 know, most of you already own all these songs on the various albums, but wait, there is 2 new songs on the album! and several really rocking remixes. Not to mention the DVD with the History Mix, the bonus videos and the oh so cruel teaser for the Best of DVD release. This is a must have for any U2 fan. And if you're not a U2 fan it's about time to check out the band that been dominating your airwaves and your MTV for 20 years, don't you think? What better way to do it then with the creme of the crop the best of the best. while you're at it get the limited edition of the BEst of 1980-1990 also to cover both decades!
And Rock on!
