Free Music Notes for U2 - The Best of 1990-2000
Free Music Review: Uno de los peores "Best Of" de la historia
Hit: 2 Stars
No sé en realidad por qué llamarle a este disco "Best Of". ¿ lo mejor de qué ? me pregunto yo. Son 16 canciones, algunas de las cuales SÍ deben estar ahí ( One, Stay, Even Better Than The Real Thing, Mysterious Ways, etc ) pero otras simplemente sólo ocupan espacio y están de más ( Electrical Storm, The Hands That Built America - que aburrimiento de canción, otro cliché de U2 para homenajear a su Estados Unidos - The First Time, Until The End Of The World, y todos los "new mix" ). Pienso que este hubiera sido un Best Of infinitamente mejor:
1- The Fly
2- Even Better Than The Real Thing
3- Mysterious Ways
4- One
5- Numb
6- Lemon
7- Stay ( faraway so close )
8- Miss Sarajevo
9- Hold Me Trill Me Kiss Me Kill Me
10-Discotheque ( ORIGINAL )
11-Staring At The Sun ( ORIGINAL )
12-Last Night On Earth ( Single )
13-Please ( Single )
14-Beautiful Day
15-Elevation
16-Walk On

Free Music Review: They can't even make a decent "best of"
Hit: 1 Stars
as bas as everything done since All That You Can't Leave Behind. I don't know what's going on in their minds, but I'm really worried. The last truly worth U2 song they made was Please ( both album and single versions ). Also that song was voted as the most significant song form Pop on the old www.u2.com ... where's this song ? I don't know.
Do we need those spoiled "new mixes" ? No. U2 are going downhill but they don't even notice. The unmemorable U2 end has come, but they seem to be resting comfortably numb with sunglasses, cowboy hats, black clothes and all that crap.
time to call a day, really. You are a shame U2.
Free Music Review: is this a "best of " ?
Hit: 1 Stars
fans were ripped off with this one. The cover art is such a beauty...but that's all. A beautiful cover art.
why do we need those crappy "new mixes" ? Bono and his lads still think Pop is unfinished or whatever... so, so wrong. Pop is perfect as it is. So they wasted 4 songs from this "best of".
The hands that pray for America ( new title ) is their worst cliché ever. Instant money and U.S charts for them.
Where are Please, The Fly, Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses, etc ?
Ladies and gentlemen: don't get fooled. This is not a "best of".
Free Music Review: Classic Cuts From U2's Weirdest/Wildest Era.
Hit: 5 Stars
"The Best Of 1990-2000" is a great CD for anyone who just wants a taste of what U2 did in the 90's and it still has something new for the hardcore fan. It's a collage of some of the group's most memorable recordings and remixes of what some have considered songs that had promise but didn't fully deliver to their potential. After "The Joshua Tree" and "Rattle And Hum," albums that mostly explored American music like blues and gospel to stunning effect, U2 played around with flavors more akin to what's popular in the European clubs. Never losing their sense of rock n' roll, the band began experimenting with techno dance beats, a little rap, a lot of experimentation. Few artists have been able to radically change their image and remain intact, U2 did it because the spirit, the essence of their ideas and messages was never lost under all the gloss. This collection features the hits of the era like the sultry, funk-driven "Mysterious Ways," the epic, soaring "Until The End Of The World" with it's visions of heartbreak and spirituality framed by The Edge's rich, ripping guitar work. "One" is still a beautiful song, a gem that never feels aged. "Miss Sarajevo" and "Stay (Faraway, So Close!)" are examples of how U2 can hypnotize a listener with the most evocative chords and words. "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" is a feverish, almost glam-rock tune that is always thrilling. The newer material like "Beautiful Day" still shines with it's sense of pure heart and soul. U2 fanatics who already own every album will probably pick this one up for the new songs and remixes. "Electrical Storm" is a dreamy, rockin' song that was a peek at what would come with "How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb." "The Hands That Built America," recorded for Martin Scorsese's "Gangs Of New York" movie, is a powerful, operatic piece. The remixes are exciting and intriguing. "Gone," now laced with new guitars and an added Edge vocal, really comes alive with ferocious energy. "Discotheque" now feels like pure rock n' roll you can dance to, if the original felt too clubbish, this one is more stripped and feels more accessible. U2 is one of those rare bands that delivers a real deal, we get classic songs remastered to a sound superior to the orignal releases and new material that makes this a plausible purchase. "The Best Of 1990-2000" is an example of U2 at their best, for the casual listener this may prove to be the beginning of going out and checking out the band's entire catalogue.
