One thing we can agree on is that people LOVE Kite, myself included. It also works very well live. Why they don't play it very much is beyond me. Too busy bogging down the setlists with IALW. The Vertigo Tour version was epic, and they only played it in Australia, and dropped it by the time they got to japan and Hawaii. Hopefully it comes back.

3. Kite
4. City of Blinding Lights

6. Walk On
7. The Troubles

Ah ok, my bad, I had the Million Dollar Hotel songs pegged in my memory as hailing from the latter part of 1999. Still inclined to say that their writing and recording probably happened before 2000 proper, and sonically they bear all the hallmarks of the tail end of the nineties.
