RAH is one of those albums which you don't usually reach for in the CD rack, but once you start playing it you really get into the album and the whole vibe of the album as a pseudo-concept piece of work.
But in saying that, the tracks do work better on a stand alone basis.
HELTER SKELTER - can't compare with the Beatles version, BUT the band's version takes it to a new territory - rhythm and blues! (not to be confused with the R&B of today which has its base in rap and hip hop etc).
VAN DIEMEN'S LAND - not my favourite, but Edge gives a great vocal performance full of feeling. Always sounded better live on the LT tours.
DESIRE - Good, basic rock'n'roll! It burns along the road with manic speed and is better than what it looks like
The ZOO versions with the distorted guitars and Bono 'alter egos' on vocals took the track to a new height and made it a joy to hear again. "Hi Honey, I'm Home!"
HAWKMOON 269 - Unbelievably great track!!! I don't think many fans have the intelligence (not to be patronising) to fully 'get' how good this track actually is! Bono nearly coughs up his vocal chords to sing this - what more can you ask for from a singer!!! Robert on keyboards anybody?
ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER - good version, but not as good as the many superior bootlegged live versions. You cannot compare this with Bob's as they are totally different in their approach. I must admit that I hardly ever play this version.
ISHFWILF - I enjoy the gospel choir part, but when I first heard it I thought "hey, who's that? AW! I just wanna hear Bono!" and I guess I still feel this way as I've never put it on a compilation tape! Good intentions, but it doesn't really get there.
FREEDOM FOR MY PEOPLE - there's that pseudo concept album vibe again. Indifferent.
SILVER AND GOLD - GREAT b-side, but what the? Not bad. Has some nice moments, but overall throw-away.
PRIDE - Average C+. Never a good live track surprisingly- even though everyone enjoys singing the UH OH OH OHs!
ANGEL OF HARLEM - Great 'pop' song with simplistic structure, but extremely catchy melody
Can't help but smile and sing along!
LOVE RESCUE ME - whilst not my favourite track, it's really well structured and has its place on the album, but I never play it!
WHEN LOVE COMES TO TOWN - See AOH above for similar critique.
HEARTLAND - Eh? Shouldn't this be on TUF? Absolutely LOVE this track. It conjures up soooo many feelings, images and atmospheres - haunting, but in a nice way. 10/10.
GOD PART II - Stormer! AAANNNDDD a great song live too!!! Powerhouse track that never gets the 'skip' button.
BULLET THE BLUE SKY - Fantastic version! Sums up the whole JT/LT tours. Edge's guitar surrounds you and wraps you up in its sorrowfully, beautiful sounds and takes you to another place. An emotion most other songs can only dream of producing. 11/10
ALL I WANT IS YOU - Forget the 4 minute odd crappy version!!! You have to listen to this - the full version. This track is also beautiful. A great composition that is a major achievement by the band. Moody, downbeat, but magnificent! ...and if you ever get to hear the bootleg version of the legendary 26th December 1989 concert (and who hasn't) then you can also listen to the best ever live version of this song (IMO).
Overall rating of the album Good, but could've, should've been GREAT!

As always, it highly depends on the mood I'm in.
I am one of the few who loves Love Rescue Me, however, it's got some of the best lyrics of any U2 song, and I love singing along. I like Hawkmoon better than Heartland, but love both, and AIWIY... there are few songs that top it. Van Diemen's Land is
