Sorry for my dumbass comment guys. On my copy of ATYCLB, it was just the regular album with a separate cd of Summer Rain, so that's what I was using as a reference. So I guess there were different bonus tracks in different countries, I just meant the actual albums themselves (I don't consider bonus tracks part of the real album, but more of an extra treat, hence=bonus) are the same everywhere.
Either way, my fundamental point was that it really doesn't matter in this day and age. We all get the same "real album", and in the end we all get the same bonus tracks too. As for the question of disrupted flow, I understand the fear that the band will be tampering with the albums closing effects, etc, but it goes back to the fact that these songs are only intended to be a bit of extra fun, not part of the album experience. I guess this could just be my impression, but I've always gotten a distinct feeling of seperation between the main album and bonus tracks, and because of that I really couldn't care less what they've tacked on. If it bothers you that much, reorganize your iTunes and put the songs in a different location, or, as LM said, press the stop button.
But clearly I have no idea what the fuck I am talking about, so again, my apologies.

Confirmed rumour: "One" will be in the setlist – every night.

I disagree. I love Fast Cars, but it seems so out of place on the album. Yahweh is the right closer.
I don't see the point of bonus tracks. I think it has something to do with pricing differences due to currency and/or with illegal imports.
It has been reported that the bonus track will also be featured on the special editions on the album like it was on Bomb.
Hello unicorn. I agree with you
Almost. Yahweh alt. version should have closed HTDAAB.
I absolutely LOVE the alternative version because the original lost its power through the production. I once made a alternative version myself and posted it here. For the love of God I don't know where but it is out there

Confirmed rumour, I am bored as batshit that we havent heard when the single is out.

Exactly. Same goes for GBHF on All that or Holy Joe on Pop... I wonder if "Tripoli" is the bonus song this time.
Some countries (for example the UK) have more expensive CDs so they add on bonus songs for better value. U2 are a powerful act enough to have one tracklist for everyone though.

My super-mega-deluxe version of Bomb does NOT have Fast Cars. I had to go and buy the standard (Aussie) version as well just to get that track !!

Believe it or not I actually agree with you about the alternative version of Yahweh, they should have put that one one the album.

best example. No I can't
Call me crazy....*pauses* but I've gotten used to prayer or confessional type songs as closers for U2's albums (40, Wake Up Dead Man, Grace, and Yahweh)
Sorry for my dumbass comment guys....

But this is exactly what is not true (at the moment). See my previous post. CDs are 1,5-2 times more expensive in lot of countries in Europe (Like Netherlands)....so this cannot be the explanation anymore.
