not a cohesive album as many have said, but a really good collection of songs nonetheless.
1- Vertigo
2- city of blinding lights
3- Original of the Species
3b- Fast Cars
4- Sometimes you can't make it on your own
5- all because of you
6- a man and a woman
7- miracle drug
8- crumbs for your table
9- love and peace or else
10- Yahweh
11- one step closer
I don't dislike any of the songs, though I do prefer the alternate versions of Yahweh and All because of you - and I really liked the acoustic version of Yahweh on Vertigo tour. as I've said previous, I saw 24 vertigo shows and I figured, eh, they can drop Yahweh, big deal - but I did miss it when it wasn't in the setlist.
if U2 bring back the acoustic spot on 360, they should rotate it more - throw in a man and a woman or original of the species acoustically (as well as others) - i mean why not? original was touted as the best song on the album by Bono, and they seemed to have played it every other way possible.
probably thanks to the Vertigo tour, Bomb would be around the halfway mark on my rankings and towards the upper half in U2's catalogue for me. I can see how people will mark points off for lack of cohesion - something even U2 would admit - but I really do think the collection of songs are good.
And I don't care what people think, Vertigo kicks ass.
