Rock n' Roll Doggie
OK I respect these guys and their understanding of the music indrustry but lately I've been seriously questioning their intelligence on a certain issue.
Mercy should be on HTDAAB. Period. I'm tired of this "but the album would be too long!!!" baloney. More great songs never hurts an album. Period. There's no rules stating an album can be no longer than an hour.
Xanax and Wine is better than Fast Cars. If it had a little more production it could have been one of the best songs on the album. What were these guys smoking? Taking a mind-blowing song and turning it into a b-side? It's crazy. Fast Cars is good but nowhere near as good as Xanax and Wine could have been.
Smile is a completely beautiful song. The melody is just tearjerking to me. Everything in this song is awesome. The lyrics, the vocals, the music. It makes me angry that they left this out. It would have been one of my favorite songs on the album.
Love You Like Mad is also a completely awesome. It deserved to be on the album. It's catchy, it's sexy, it's just plain cool. Better than a few songs on HTDAAB IMO.
Flower Child should have been on ATYCLB in the place of Wild Honey. We can all agree on this. I like this song A LOT.
Levitate is beautiful and should have been on ATYCLB as well.
Over the last couple of days this has really been getting to me. I know I should be glad to even HAVE these early demos but I just feel like U2 can be somewhat foolish at times. Why do they think their albums need to be 11 songs only? It's silly. As long as the album is full of good songs it will be a good album. You can not have too many good songs.
I also question them for taking completely spectacular songs and turning them into something much worse (Xanax and Wine, Flower Child). Why do they do this?
The bottom line is U2 has the potential to release better albums and they don't. If Levitate and Flower Child were on ATYCLB it would have been a better album. If Xanax and Wine, Smile, Mercy and Love You Like Mad were on HTDAAB it would be a better album as well. They have almost finnished songs collecting dust in their studios that are BETTER than what's being sold.
I kind of feel like I'm getting the shaft in a way.
