Free Music Notes for The Best Of 1990-2000 & B-SidesFree Music Review: One of "U2's" best albums !!!! Hit: 5 Stars
I love U2. It is on my top 5 list of the best bands EVER. But I only own one U2 album. This one. My brother Pablo gave me this one, as well as many others. I am very thankfull. This one is perfect, one of the best albums I have and it even includes some new songs and mixes which makes this album even more perfect. I love this one with all my heart. Buy this one immediatley. Why? If you've been lookin' for that answer then check this review:
Disc One: The Best Of 1990-2000.- O.K. This whole album has 2 discs and 1 DVD. I mean, this is possibly the most complete and best U2 album with their greatest hits.
1.- "Even Better Than The Real Thing".- O.K. Great start for such an album. One of my favorite U2 songs there is.- 5/5.
2.- "Mysterious Ways".- I love this one too. Very...U2. For me..a classic.- 5/5.
3.- "Beautiful Day".- One of the best songs EVER.- 5/5.
4.- "Electrical Storm (William Orbit Mix)".- This is an example of a new song they out on this album and I think this one is better than the original version (which is in the other disc on this 2-disc set. Another one of my all-time favorite's.- 5/5.
5.- "One".- Another classic song from this great, great band. Another one of my all time favorite's,- 5/5.
6.- "Miss Saravejo".- Not too crazy about this one. Nothin' compared to "Beautiful Day" or "One".- 3/5.
7.- "Stay (faraway, so close)".- Yet another classic for me.- 5/5.
8.- "Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of".- WOW. Another one of my all-time favorite's. This album is really something! .-5/5.
9.- "Gone (New Mix)".- I like this version more than the original. I like this one as much as "Even Better Than The Real Thing".- 5/5.
10- "Until The End Of The World".- Very grissly intro to this song. Then...it becomes one of my favorite's.
11.- "The Hands That Built America (Theme From "Gangs Of New York")".- Another new song. Probably some of you watched the movie "Gangs Of New York" with Leo DiCaprio and Daniel Day Lewis, I did and if you didn't, then I recomend you don't, the truth is I didn't like it, I like the song much more. But a mind-blowing performance by Daniel Day Lewis. Anyway, this one is another one of my all-time favorite's.- 5/5.
12.- "Discothèque (new mix)".- I like the original version, but I find almost no difference.- 5/5.
13.- "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me".- The banda sonora from "Batman Returns", the best Batman there is, anyway, I think it is one of my favorite's.- 5/5.
14.- "Staring At The Sun (new mix)".- I like the original version better. This version is too "whiny".- 4/5.
15.- "Numb (new mix)".- I think this song is the strangest I've ever heard. This one is the new mix.- 3/5.
16.- "The First Time".- Great. I like this one.- 4/5.
Disc Two: The "B" sides.- O.K. The second disc of this album. Most of the songs on this disc are mixes and this part of the album goes down:
1.- "Lady With The Spinning Head (Extended Dance Mix)".- I never heard the original version of this song, but I kinda like this version pretty much.- 4/5.
2.- "Dirty Day (Junk Day Mix)".- I never heard the original version of this song either, but I didn't like it, sorry.- 1/5.
3.- "Summer Day".- I love this song. Kinda reminded me of their other song "Desire", have you listened to it? If no, then listen to it now.- 5/5.
4.- "Electrical Storm".- Another new song. To be honest, I don't like this version too much, as I stated that above on disc one.- 4/5.
5.- "North And South Of The River".- Another strange song from U2.- 3/5.
6.- "Your Blue Room".- O.K. I like this one. Very much.- 5/5.
7.- "Happines Is A Warm Gun (The Gun Remix)".- O.K. I don't like this one that much either.- 3/5.
8.- "Salomé (Zooromancer remix)".- This One is more of a disco song.- 4/5.
9.- "Even Better Than The Real Thing (The Perfecto Mix)".- I like the original version better. "Perfecto" is spanish for "perfect", I should know that since I'm Bolivian. But you must have noticed that by taking out the remaining "o".- 4/5.
10.- "Numb (Gimme More Dignity Mix)".- I think this version of "Numb" is way better than the original version.- 5/5.
11.- "Mystrious Ways (Solar Plexus Club Mix)".- I like the original version better.- 4/5.
12.- "If God Would Send His Angels (Big Yam Mix)".- I never heard the original verion of this song, but this one is just fatal!! .- 0/5.
13.- "Lemon (Jeep Mix)".- O.K. This one is way way way better than the previous one.- 4/5.
14.- "Discothèque (Hexidecimal Mix)".- I hate this version of the song.- 2/5.
O.K. I think this is the best "greatest hits" U2 album. It starts off really smooth, but then, it goes dooowwwwwn big time. But either way I recomend this for you.

The Best Of 1990-2000 & B-Sides PosterIncludes a bonus dvd which features a collection of live and video performances from 1990-2000. 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. --Jerry McCulley
