"Magnificent vs. Mercy"

[gherman]

I know, I know....

Just curious.

 

[God Part III]

I don't even regard Mercy as a part of the U2 catalogue.

Magnificent, of course.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

A tie for me.

 

[mandrake]

Magnificent>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Mercy

Why are we even still talking about Mercy? It was an unfinished song that was left off of Atomic Bomb for a reason.

 

[LemonMelon]

I dunno. Love both. Mercy has the better lyrics, but Magnificent is probably the better song overall.

 

[U2DMfan]

Either one of them would have been the best song on Bomb.

 

[RedRocksU2]

I don't even regard Mercy as a part of the U2 catalogue.

Magnificent, of course.

Yes.

Magnificent>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Mercy

Exactly.

I actually erased it from my iTunes.

 

[Axver]

Cue 200 post debate on Mercy in 3, 2, 1 ...

As for me personally, I'll take Magnificent.

 

[coolian2]

magnificent by such a margin it's comical.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

magnificent by such a margin it's comical.

[alanah]

I enjoy Mercy a little bit more than Magnificent.

 

[cobl04]

Still enjoy Mercy, I'll take it anyday over Magnificent..

 

[Erik.Swe]

Mercy is better than Magnificent imo. But I still love both of them

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

the reason being the album would be way too long. It was dropped at the very last minute after being a strong contender so i think its fair to say [regardless of the quality of the leak we've got] it may have been finished..

 

[Galeongirl]

I like both, but I have very fond feelings for Mercy.

 

[jacobus]

Magnificent!
Mercy = one of the worst songs ever

 

[An Cat Gav]

Magnificent, no contest at all.

 

[intedomine]

Magnificent easy, but Mercy really is great.

The thing about Magnificent is the ridiculously gorgeous trance thing it's got happening, incredible groove, an unthinkable song I never thought was possible. Only U2 could pull it off.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Mercy sucks, therefore...

 

[SamuelSmeloc]

magnificent by such a margin it's comical.

 

[Vlaco]

Magnificent

 

[Yahweh_OMG]

mercy for me....

still think it is one of their best song.

magnificent is also really good, but not as good

 

[gareth brown]

Magnificent!
Mercy = one of the worst songs ever

oh come on! one of the worst songs ever? It had more energy than half of Bomb for a start. And we're talking about a band who chose 'Get On Your Boots' as a lead-off single for an album it really has no place on!

 

[gareth brown]

besides, I'm REALLY torn so I must add I'm not ragging on Magnificent just getting in Mercy's corner for a bit. Magnificent's groove is wicked. Really great bass and that beat is wicked. The only thing I don't like is actually the TITLE haha, or the way that word's constantly just sung...really poncey word to stick in a song like that. But then again I guess it is another song about God?

 

[AtomicBono]

two completely different kinds of songs although with some slight similarities in lyrics

Mercy for me. Don't get me wrong, I love Magnificent. But I like how the brooding verses in Mercy turn into the uplifting (although somehow bittersweet? the way Bono sings love has come again) chorus, and the lyrics are amazing, and there's something about the song that just has "it." Magnificent does too, but in a different way. It probably depends on my mood, but overall Mercy.

 

[MMP]

Magnificent

Mercy is one of the worst things U2 ever "commited to tape".
