Album version of Elevation

Anyone else think it sounds a little flat? Especially after hearing it live so many times when it just explodes at the beginning. Kinda bugs me.

I still like it and listen to it, but I prefer Influx or live versions.

I really, really love the album version. It definately is different compared to all the remixes, but I think it's anything but flat.
I think it's raw and harsh and I love it.
But I love every remix and version I've heard, so any way it's played I like it!

I still like the album version best.

I enjoy all the versions but I kind of miss Bono spelling "ElevaGloria" (or whatever he was trying to spell

) like he did during the promo shows.

yeah, it does kinda suck compared to all the other versions available.

I prefer the album version!

But any version will do

Listened to it this morning on the way to work. ROCKED OUT!

Yeah, the Infux mix is so damn cool, especialy when the sitar comes in. It gives me goosebumps.
