[Galeongirl]

you fuck! i just realized that i spelled "Angels" "Angles". shit!

you're not a fuck, by the way.

You're welcome, and thanks for the clarification. I was almost wondering if you were flaming me.

 

[medley]

So here is more, let me know what you think :

Best of Bono solo songs: “In The Name Of The Father”
01 - In The Name Of The Father (Bono & Gavin Friday)
02 - Goldeneye (Bono & The Edge) < The Demo version of course not the one sung by Tina Turner.
03 - Save The Children
04 - Slide Away (Bono & Michael Hutchence)(Written by Michael Hutchence)
05 - Falling At Your Feet
06 - Children Of The Revolution(Bono, Gavin Friday & Maurice Seezer)(Written by Marc Bolan of T. Rex)
07 - Never Let Me Go
08 - Stranded (Haiti Mon Amour)(Bono, Jay-Z, The Edge & Rihanna) > Yes I’ve updated this recently .
09 - New Day (Bono & Wyclef Jean)(Written by Wyclef Jean)
10 - American Prayer

Best of 1980-1990 B-sides: “11 O'clock Tick Tock”
01 - 11 O'clock Tick Tock
02 - Spanish Eyes
03 - Luminous Times (Hold On To Love)
04 - Angels Too Tied To The Ground
05 - Love Comes Tumbling
06 - 60 Seconds In Kingdom Come
07 - A Celebration
08 - Three Sunrises
09 - Wave Of Sorrow (Birdland) > The recently reworked version. I could have chosen to put it in my Best of 2000-2010 instead but I think it fits better here.
10 - Walk To The Water
11 - Endless Deep
12 - Things To Make And Do
13 - Bass Trap

13 songs is a lot but as there are some instrumental and quite short songs here I think that’s ok.


Best of 1990-2000 B-sides: “Your Blue Room”
01 - Slug
02 - Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me
03 - Miss Sarajevo
04 - Lady With The Spinning Head (Extended Dance Mix)
05 - I'm Not Your Baby
06 - Two Shots of Happy One Shot of Sad
07 - Holy Joe
08 - Salome
09 - Stateless
10 - North And South Of The River
11 - Sweetest Thing
12 - Your Blue Room
13 - Alex Descends Into Hell For A Bottle Of Milk

Again 13 songs here but ADIHFABOM is an instrumental (sort of) so in this case too I don’t think that’s a big deal.

Best of 2000-2010 B-sides: “Xanax And Wine”
01 - Electrical Storm (William Orbit Mix)
02 - Are You Gonna Wait Forever
03 - Window In The Skies
04 - Mercy
05 - Disappearing Act
06 - The Ground Beneath Her Feet
07 - Xanax And Wine
08 - Big Girls Are Best
09 - Flower Child
10 - The Hands That Built America (Best of version)
11 - Kingdom Of Your Love
12 – Winter (Linear version)

Just listened to this running order for NLOTH:

1. No Line On The Horizon
2. Get On Your Boots(Long Intro)
3. Stand Up Comedy
4. I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight(Fish Out Of Water Mix)

8. Unknown Caller
9. White As Snow
10. Kingdom
11. Breathe
12. No Line On The Horizon II
13. Fez-Being Born
14. Cedars Of Lebanon

Really enjoyed it. I've been trying to make running orders using both NLOTH tracks, and the only way it seems to make any sense is to have them bookend things. I wanted the NLOTH II->Fez-Being Born->Cedars thing to be similar to the Sgt. Pepper's Reprise->A Day In The Life vibe, with the reprise of the intro giving way dark intensity, plus I think the 'let me in the sound' reprise at the beginning of Fez works well as the beginning of the coda, with Boots all the way at the beginning in the #2 slot.

And Kingdom->Breathe

i just gave this a spin, and it was an enjoyable listen. i think i'm going to try to come up with a version of NLOTH that includes "Disappearing Act"....maybe replacing "Stand Up Comedy".

7. Bad

12. A Sort of Homecoming

This is only one I've seen yet that makes some sense, so good work.


However, I don't understand this need people have to make The Joshua Tree a double-album. I think that was Bono's pretension for about 30 minutes in early 1987, but luckily the others talked some sense into him. At the moment when U2 was about to make its big American/International jump into the big-leagues, there is no way that Island would have supported a double-album -- the bane of every record label. Joshua Tree has been acclaimed as the greatest album ever made, sold 20 million or whatever, and continues to be purchased, appreciated, and listened to by thousands every year. I might fiddle with one track here or there, but a double album? No way. After you put filler like "Race Against Time" on the LP, what are you gonna put on the B-sides? I think it's good to leave some cool songs on B-sides and not over-expose everything.

The one U2 album (besides Rattle & Hum, for special reasons) that I think seriously suffers from poor tracklisting is All That You Can't Leave Behind. I do like the album, but I concur with the opinion that it could have been better. They were clearly calculating pretty carefully how to stage their grand comeback to mainstream prominence (and mission accomplished, I suppose).

Not that anyone cares, but here's how I would do its tracks:

Beautiful Day
When I Look at the World
Stuck in a Moment... [acoustic version]
Walk On
Summer Rain
The Ground Beneath Her Feet

In a Little While
Kite
Flower Child
Wild Honey
Peace On Earth
Grace

(I'd also turn down the vocals and turn up the bass and drums...)

 

[65980]

Rattle & Hum

Side A

01. Hawkmoon 269
02. Van Diemen's Land
03. Desire
04. Spanish Eyes
05. In God's Country
06. Heartland

Side B

01. Trip Through Your Wires
02. Silver & Gold
03. Deep In The Heart
04. Angel Of Harlem
05. God Part II
06. All I Want Is You

Disregarding the fact that "Spanish Eyes", "In God's Country", Trip Through Your Wires", and "Silver & Gold" don't belong to Rattle & Hum, this would actually make a very nice album.

 

[65980]

NO LINE ON THE HORIZON

01. No Line on the Horizon III (original version, but with NLOTH II kicking in after bridge)
02. Magnificent
03. Get on Your Boots (Extended Intro)
04. Fez-Being Born
05. Unknown Caller
06. Breathe
07. Winter (Linear Version)
08. White as Snow
09. Moment of Surrender
10. Cedars of Lebanon

It's pretty awesome. You should try it.

This is actually really good. Fine work.

(I still hate "Get On Your Boots", though. Still, full credit to you for exorcising the dreadful "I'll Go Crazy Tonight if I ever hear this Song Again".)

 

[rsdegeest]

some albums need a different order, some don't (i'm not gonna touch AB, Zooropa or any of the '80's albums - although R&H should have been a live and a studio cd)

(never mind IGCIIDGCT or SUC...could/should have been songs for the next 'Best of' or something)

 

[U2girl]

The one U2 album (besides Rattle & Hum, for special reasons) that I think seriously suffers from poor tracklisting is All That You Can't Leave Behind.

They had a great album on their hands but failed due to some odd choices.

Take out POE/WILATW duo, and Grace.*

*swap with the duo of Stateless/Ground beneath her feet (Bono's original idea was to put those two on the album. End the album with Falling at your feet.

The only other poor choice is NOT making Hold me thrill me kiss me kill me an album song.

 

[65980]

Take out POE/WILATW duo, and Grace.*

I actually moved 'When I Look at the World' to give it more prominence (2nd from the top), because I think it's one of their best tracks of the 2000s. 'Peace On Earth' is good, too, although there's something a bit cheesy about the arrangement -- still, the song is so nice and powerful, so I'd keep it. And I think 'Grace' is the perfect closer.

*swap with the duo of Stateless/Ground beneath her feet (Bono's original idea was to put those two on the album. End the album with Falling at your feet.

I include 'Ground Beneath...' on my version, but honestly I don't think it's anything very special. It's musically very simple and the kind of thing they can write in their sleep, but it has a nice moody feeling. 'Stateless' I don't like.

For me, the key song missing is 'Flower Child', which I think has one of the 2 or 3 best melodies they wrote in the entire 2000s.

The only other poor choice is NOT making Hold me thrill me kiss me kill me an album song.

I think that one could have been added to Pop, but I don't think it would have improved it or worsened it.


The one thing these discussions about ATYCLB seem to show is that almost everyone agrees the album could have been better with a different tracklisting, but also that no two people agree on how to do it! It's just good that, in the Internet era, we can easily access all those extra tracks.

 

[U2girl]

The problem is these songs (and New York) tank the joyful, optimistic mood of the rest of the album. It goes well until Wild honey, and then they hit the brakes for some reason.

Flower Child (and moreso Summer rain) are good, but Wild honey is better pop material IMO. I also wish they'd found a spot on the album for Levitate. Closer, or maybe change it for Elevation.

Yes, it's the one U2 album that seems to get most alternate tracklistings.

 

[medley]

01. No Line on the Horizon III (original version, but with NLOTH II kicking in after bridge)

Wow I would love to hear that version, sounds like it could be fantastic. Could someone very very kind send this to me at plimo_medley@yahoo.fr ? Many thanks in advance.

As for your tracklist imho it is not enough balanced: you have too much rock songs in the first half of the album and too few in the second. For NLOTH I would just make one change, everything else is perfect:

01 - No Line On The Horizon
02 - Magnificent
03 - Moment of Surrender
04 - Unknown Caller
05 - Fez – Being Born
06 - Get On Your Boots
07 - Stand Up Comedy
08 - I’ll Go Crazy If I Don’t Go Crazy Tonight
09 - White As Snow
10 - Breathe
11 - Cedars Of Lebanon

Like that it’s really an album of two halves. Fez continues and ends really well the very atmospheric mood of the first half while still working as a great transition for the simpler and more straightforward second side. Crazy is also perfect as a ballad after the two rock songs that are GOYB and SUC and its calm ending creates a great introduction to WAS. The only problem I have with this tracklist is that I would have liked to add NLOTH2 in it somehow because I really love this version but I can’t find a really good way to do that.

Also I have updated my best of b-sides 2000-2010 (kind of a stupid name ok but at least you’ve got the idea):

01 - Soon
02 - Winter (Linear version)
03 - Window In The Skies
04 - Mercy
05 - Electrical Storm (William Orbit Mix)
06 - The Ground Beneath Her Feet
07 - Xanax And Wine
08 - Big Girls Are Best
09 - Flower Child
10 - Disappearing Act
11 - Are You Gonna Wait Forever
12 - The Hands That Built America (Best Of version)

I don’t think I will change it anymore that works really well like that imo.

 

[Scorpionac]

Sent.

As for your tracklist imho it is not enough balanced: you have too much rock songs in the first half of the album and too few in the second.

I think it works alright. Considering Breathe starts the album's 2nd half, you've got that, then you've got Winter, which can't exactly be called a slow song. I couldn't possibly throw Magnificent or Boots into the middle of the ending arc without ruining the mood. I don't think balance matters so much as flow does.

The problem is these songs (and New York) tank the joyful, optimistic mood of the rest of the album. It goes well until Wild honey, and then they hit the brakes for some reason.

In placing WILATW third, I introduce despair to the album's palette much sooner. Then, its mood can ebb and flow during the entire run-time without jarring the listener. It doesn't come very naturally after Elevation in a thematic sense, but the guitar-heavy sound of both tracks makes them comfortable partners IMO.

ALL THAT YOU CAN'T LEAVE BEHIND

01. Beautiful Day
02. Elevation
03. When I Look at the World
04. Stateless
05. Kite
06. Summer Rain
07. Levitate
08. New York
09. The Ground Beneath Her Feet
10. Grace
11. Walk On

I think ATYCLB's biggest failure was having material available to make a truly thematically coherent album - something better than the sum of its parts - but U2 instead opted to just toss what they thought were the strongest songs in an arbitrary order onto the album and release that. Huge mistake IMO. There's no narrative to the thing. After the joy of Elevation, what exactly are we Walking On from? While they were focused on making a collection of good pop songs, they missed out on putting together what could've been their strongest album. I'll freely admit to preferring Wild Honey and In a Little While to New York, Grace and (shock!) Kite. However, I recognize they have nothing to do with the album's theme of moving on from tragedy and contain no references to height or being grounded as representing, respectively, joy or pain. (These are all over some of the songs, and one can arrange a semi-narrative with them in mind.)


I think Flower Child/Wild Honey/In a Little While, on the back of Stuck in a Moment, could've formed an awesome little EP of fun pop songs. They could probably be incorporated into a commercial 'Strong Collection of Songs' version of ATYCLB somehow, but such a thing never satisfies me. Something like this, for the EP:

1. Stuck in a Moment
2. In a Little While
3. Wild Honey
4. Flower Child
5. Stuck in a Moment (Acoustic)

Of course, then you wouldn't have any quality b-sides to put onto ATYCLB's singles. (I don't think Peace on Earth has any place on the album or even on a complimentary EP.)

 

[medley]

Thanks again for the link Scorpionac. Well, I'm not totally convinced by this version: the two versions are too different and the transition even if it is well made doesn't really work imo here but that was a good idea to try this.

As for balance and flow I think that both are very important and it is possible to keep them both by putting songs after others that have a similar mood even if the tempo (ballads, mid-tempo songs or rockers) can be different. But also sometimes very different songs can work really well together because their ending/beginning parts are quite similar or just because after few songs with a very similar mood it is great to make a break. I think that if you use only very similar songs one after the other the risk is really big to make the album to appear flat and even boring. Also some songs can appear more unique after a totally different one: a rocker after a ballad will indeed sound to have more energy that it would after another loud rocker for instance.

I also want to share an idea for another tracklist for NLOTH based on the concept of an album of two halves, and I could even say that I also used the idea of horizon with sky (atmospheric songs) and ground/water (rock songs) for each part of the album even if I honestly didn't thought about that at first . As a result that kind of shows what I wrote previously because you still have a good balance here between rockers and ballads/mid-tempo songs in my opinion even if there are obviously more rockers in the second half, which is of course the point here. Let me know what you guys think of it:



01 - No Line On The Horizon

The below mixes sometimes take songs from other albums into one but all of these mixes actually go really really well together and make coherent albums. Try them out yourself to see what I mean! I feel these mixes contain pretty much all the best songs after AB as well:

Numb
Lemon
Stay
Daddys gonna pay
The First Time
HMTMKMKM
Some days are better than others
Dirty Day
Wanderer

POP - like mix:

Discotheque
Do you feel loved
your blue room
Staring at the sun
Alex descends into hell for a bottle of milk
In a little while
Gone (new mix)
Please (single version)
Bass Trap
Walk on
Mofo
Miss Sarajevo
Wake up dead man

ALTYCLB/ HTDAAB/ others

Beautiful Day
Spanish eyes
Slug
City of blinding lights
Kite
Vertigo
Rowena's theme
Electrical Storm

Boots (long intro)
The ground beneath her feet
Ill go crazy
Beach sequence
Fez - BB
Breathe
Cedars of lebanon

Hey could somebody please send me a GOYB with the long intro (preferrably not 128kbps)? I've been looking everywhere for it and think it's really awesome. I'd really appreciate it.

My email is shart180@yahoo.com.

Ohhh and I never thought of putting Beach sequence in there... good idea. Maybe some other songs from Passengers or The Million Dollar Hotel Soundtrack would fit too. Time to go listen.

Disregarding the fact that "Spanish Eyes", "In God's Country", Trip Through Your Wires", and "Silver & Gold" don't belong to Rattle & Hum, this would actually make a very nice album.

Just saw this. It was a continuation of the Joshua Tree thought, really. Gotta not waste good songs on b-sides in the alternate tracklist thread.

 

[TheEdge25]

Achtung Baby!
