The perfect Zooropa tracklist

[Aygo]

Of course I like Zooropa, despite of being the album I don't listen too much times. It's not that I don't like the album, but it's so "different" than other U2 album... I like its originality, that is really great and imaginative, and I really think that Zooropa is something that was necessary in the band's career. However, in my opinion, sometimes it sounds too quickly produced but too original. It would have been nice if they had put on the album definitive versions of the material they were working in the spring of 1990, because so much songs and ideas were just like... forgotten in Achtung Baby, or even if it could be there Slow Dancing which I find beautiful. On the other hand, in what concerns the songs that made the definitive tracklisting, I like the siren (sooooo cool!), but it would nice to have The Wanderer sung by Bono and less-synthetized.
One thing I don't like in the album is the order of the tracklisting. The albums ends with the feeling of "I wanted more from this ". What if the album ended with The First Time?

Ok, the message's too long, but it's said

I like being lulled to sleep with the songs on the album and then being harshly awaken by the alarm.

No, seriously!

Lemon (Lemonade Mix)
Dirty Day (Junk Day)

Ha ha! You've gotta be kidding me!

Lemon is one of U2's greatest songs (IN MY OPINION!) and remixes just ruin it...Dirty Day is also a superb song, I couldn't stand the junk day mix.

"Hold Me, Thrill Me..." would have been great on 'Zooropa' since it came from the same sessions, but I personally don't think it fits...'Your Blue Room' sounds like it might as well have been on 'Zooropa' Outstanding song...!

Have you heard the Lemon(Lemonade Mix)? It's nothing like Barn Yard or Big Yam mixes. It's that exact same as the album track, only the trememo effect on Edge's guitar is more "guitar like." It's wonderful.

 

[gareth brown]

I shall check it out post haste! Which single was it on?

 

[MrBrau1]

I don't know. Gimme your email and I shall send it to ya.

1. Zooropa
2. Babyface
3. Lemon
4. Dirty Day
5. Stay
6. Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me
7. Daddy's Gonna Pay
8. Numb
9. Slow Dancing
10. The Wanderer

This is how I'd have done the album, if I had had that power in 1993 . I like the album to not be too long, which is the only problem I really found with Brau's original list.

What is the Lemonade Mix? I see 10 Lemon remixes on the Complete U2 but not this one

 

[gareth brown]

Hey, I remember this thread!!

Blimey, is the Lemonade Mix not in the 'Complete U2'...?! Shocking...I listened to it and Mr Brau's right, it's great! Doesn't replace the original for me though...

 

[zooroper]

Zooropa IS a masterpiece...and my favourite U2 album.

Zooropa is literally eternal: U2 could publish it tomorrow and it would sound fresh even in 2005...it will simply never get old

True!

I love the album version, think the Junk Remix sucks ass, and I am deeply in love with the Sydney live version of this song.

 

[MrBrau1]

I'm of the opinion that the album version of Dirty Day is one of U2's career lowpoints. It has 0% life, sounds like Bono had a cold, and the band don't even seem to be trying. Now the live version is kick ass. I wanted to stick w/ studio tracks, so I used Junk Day, as it has much more verve than the album version.

Thanks. Listening to it right now. Doesn't sound bad, might work on the album.
