[Axver]

You people kicked out Treasure?

Love Comes Tumbling again.

 

[Screwtape2]

The Three Sunrises.

 

[phillyfan26]

Love Comes Tumbling, again.

Bass Trap FTW (even though Boomerang II is better).

 

[bonocomet]

Voted Bass Trap. It is gorgeous, but I've loved the other 2 longer. These last 4 are all so good, it was great that they ended up the final 4.

 

[Axver]

Love Comes Tumbling, again.

Bass Trap FTW (even though Boomerang II is better).

Yeah, Bass Trap is quite clearly the best song here if you ask me.

 

[Zoots]

Please... LCT is the best by far!!! Three Sunrises can go now.

Or even Basstrap can go.

LCT deserves album status.

 

[the tourist]

I have to go with Bass Trap.

 

[phanan]

The Three Sunrises.

Love Comes Tumbling and Bass Trap have been the two best songs in this entire portion of the non-album tracks. They should be the last two standing.

 

[bonocomet]

Next round is going to be interesting

 

[Axver]

How on earth is Bass Trap losing?

I honestly consider it the best instrumental I've ever heard. And I listen to a shitload of instrumentals. Sure, Explosions In The Sky, The Shadows, Russian Circles, etc. are really sensationally good, but Bass Trap is just so astonishingly beautiful. I can't believe U2 of all bands made it.

 

[Salome]

aye, Bass Trap is about as masterful an instrumental as you're ever gonna hear from a rock band

 

[Lila64]

Tough decision here. I Bass Trap, but had to vote for it.

Now playing: The Three Sunrises

 

[The Sad Punk]

I honestly don't see the mass appeal in Bass Trap. It's atmosphere, and that's it.

I think it's good, but certainly not better than Three Sunrises.

 

[the tourist]

I'm for Love Comes Tumbling to win.

 

[luna_lovegood]

Down with Love Comes Tumbling.

The Three Sunrises FTW.

 

[LemonMelon]

I'm for Love Comes Tumbling to win.

 

[Axver]

I'm for Love Comes Tumbling to win.

Hell no. It's a good song, but it's not in the same league as the great ones like Bass Trap, Treasure, Boomerang II, The Three Sunrises, etc. I'd probably rank it in the bottom four songs in this category.

 

[Mauwer]

Bass Trap is not doing so well
It should`ve been on the album , it has the atmos oh so much

But I voted Love Comes Tumbling.

Cheers ,

Mauwer

p.s. Since Bass Trap seems like it`s out , Three Sunrises FTW!!!!

 

[Lila64]

The Three Sunrises FTW.

 

[Varitek]

tts to save bass trap, maybe

 

[phanan]

Hell no. It's a good song, but it's not in the same league as the great ones like Bass Trap, Treasure, Boomerang II, The Three Sunrises, etc. I'd probably rank it in the bottom four songs in this category.

No way. It's one of the best here and should've been on The Unforgettable Fire.

 

[Axver]

No way. It's one of the best here and should've been on The Unforgettable Fire.

Besides SSIKC, I think the other UF b-sides all have more of a case to be on UF itself than Love Comes Tumbling.

Now, I don't mean to say it's a bad song. I like it - a lot. Probably more than anything U2's released in the last five years. But I cannot at all agree that it is better than Bass Trap or The Three Sunrises.

 

[the tourist]

No way. It's one of the best here and should've been on The Unforgettable Fire.

 

[phillyfan26]

I rank it fifth out of these. Boomerang II is the best, Bass Trap second, Treasure third.

 

[Lila64]

What happened to Round 9? Cori? You slackin'?

 

[corianderstem]

Oh shit! I totally forgot last night. Oops.
