U2Soar said:* A majority of the R&H songs were written on the JT Tour including She?s A Mystery To Me (apparently there is a U2 studio recording of it from Sun Studios session. Instead we have the only full band and live version which is from December 30th 1989. At least it is soundboard quality.)

yep I totally agreetyphoon said:In any case, I think the flaws often define a work as strongly as its merits. "4th of July" is hardly the most interesting thing on The Unforgettable Fire, for instance, but I wouldn't take it off because it's so much a part of the album's mood. It's an insubstantial track on its own, but it makes the album a better whole.
I think "Trip Through Your Wires" fits perfectly where it is (and it's hardly the only moment on the album where they channel American folk and blues music; it's just the most obvious). It's the sweet that goes with the sour on what is lyrically a bummer of a record (and it may be a weak spot lyrically, but this is an album remarkable as much for mood as poetry).
