[DaveC]

WTF?!? So Cruel is like my second-favourite song on the album!

 

[Leeloo]

So Cruel

 

[Swan269]

Mysterious Ways...........must go.

So Cruel has a lot of soul.

desperation is a tender trap, it gets you everytime

you put your lipps to her lipps to stop the lie

Doesn't get much better then that.

 

[Leeloo]

Sorry

 

[Blacksword]

So Creul is one of the best constructed U2 songs period. And it's feeling is only matched ina few other songs. Bah!

Ultraviolet is still the weakest song on the album. Yeah I used to love it. Doesn't stop it from being weaker than the rest.

 

[Leeloo]

How the hell is ultraviolet 'weak?' Sounds powerful and very complicated to me both musically and vocally. That's why they don't like to play it live. Other than the first US leg, they never have, and probably won't ever again. It's very much like Acrobat, they go hand in hand IMO.

So Cruel

[drumkeeran]

This is all relative!!

Ultraviolet

 

[Whats The Story?]

So Cruel is a timeless, classic song, why it is recieving all these votes is a mystery..As for my choice, "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses?" is clearly the weakest of the songs left (still pretty good though! )

 

[Zoocoustic]

So Cruel

It's a good song, but sounds pretty simple compared to many of the others on AB.

 

[Angela Harlem]

Ultraviolet

 

[HeartlandGirl]

Mysterious Ways

I think I've heard it too many times.

 

[theSoulfulMofo]

I'm SO CRUEL.

 

[Whats The Story?]

So Cruel

It's a good song, but sounds pretty simple compared to many of the others on AB.

Who cares how simple a song is? If its a good song its a good song..I see So Cruel as one of the centerpiece songs of the album in terms of its lyrics and mood, not to mention one of Bono's finest ever vocals.

 

[Bonochick]

"One"

 

[~LadyLemon~]

so cruel

 

[pepokiss]

So cruel?. COME ON!!!!!

Zoo Station must go

 

[Saracene]

[Moonlit_Angel]

Still saying "Zoo Station".
