Are you guys interested in an update to the program including the new album? It is possible that I remember how I coded this back when 
Would be fun to see how the new album ranks against the others.
One thing I would like is if someone with Windows 7, would be so kind to download and install the program to see if it works there. I assume it works in Vista since I have heard nothing to the contrary. I myself use XP and it works fine there as well.
U2rate is available at U2rate - Main Page

Wow, what a really great tool. That's nice of somebody to actually sit down and put the time into making something like this. Great little nifty piece of software.
When I look at my ratings it really surprises me because I've always had high regards for Zooropa, I suppose there isn't enough songs to put it higher - but that being said, why is rattle and hum so high? lol hmm (that really does surprise me). But as you can see a lot of them are pretty close.

About Rattle and Hum. It was hard to know what to do with it in regards to rating and which songs to include. Since it is a major album it had to be included. It is a mess though, because of the live tracks from earlier albums. I decided to go for the original studio recordings, so that it can be "properly" rated against other original U2 albums.
I think it is a better solution than rating all the tracks.
Thanks for the nice comment

Really appreciate the program, thanks.
I have almost finished putting in the option to rate the new album.
Some small tweaks and other editing will be done as well.
I will probably launch it around the release of the new album.
Will be exciting to see how it does against the other albums and how it compares over time.

9.18 Boy

You are a generous "grader". Most of my albums fall in the 6 score category, with my highest ranked receiving a lower score than your lowest ranked! Maybe I'm just a picky b*stard.

I downloaded it, but nothing happened. Isn't there supposed to be something to click on or something? What do I do now?

I disagree...they take their time...
Hi.
It is a setup file that is executable. All you need to do is to find where you downloaded it, and run it. Btw it doesn't work on mac systems.

Yeah... they're not prolific.
Implementation of NLOTH into U2rate is now fully functional. I am considering adding some small extra features but can't think of any that really adds to the experience.
I'll put it out after som bug testing. After all.. boots are ready to be rated already

Should I do a search? I can't find it anywhere. I have windows XP.
Hi,
Just try doing it again.
Go to: U2rate - Download Page
Right click on version 1.1 and choose "save link as..."
Now choose where to put it on you harddrive.
Putting it on the desktop makes it easy to find afterwards.
When you find it just run it and it gives you setup instructions.

That´s very accurate for me

U2rate now with NLOTH
Hi,
Yes I'm back with an update to the free U2rate program.
You can now rate NLOTH and compare it to the 11 other albums.
How will it do?
You can download it at: U2rate
Give it a go and do post a screen of the album rating if you want.
I promise to post mine sometime soon.
If you have already installed version 1.1, and want to use those ratings in 2.0, just copy the .txt files into the 2.0 install directory, and you are good to go with only having to rate NLOTH.
If you have any questions just leave it here and I'll attend to it
Have fun!

8.33 - AB
8.18 - NLOTH
7.91 - JT
7.45 - HTDAAB
7.33 - R&H
7.1 - Zooropa
7.08 - Pop
7.00 - ATYCLB
6.9 - War
6.82 - Boy
6.7 - UF
5.81 - October
Note that pre-JT albums are pretty low because my familiarity with them most is the singles, the songs that were on the best of 1980-1990 and the songs they've played on tour since Rattle & Hum.
I'm surprised how high Zooropa is... I'm rating everything by the album version so thats why JT is a little lower (don't like album Exit or Bullet), and why Pop is lower.
So I guess I kinda know where I stand with HTDAAB, its my 4th favourite, didn't really have an opinion of it previously.
If I scale these results into star ratings would probably look like this...
***** - AB
***** - NLOTH
****1/2 - JT
