Just curious, after hearing the acoustic stuff, does anyone think the band could pull off a "Nebraska" type album? I wonder how we'd feel about these songs if we hadn't heard the full production versions first.
I wish there was no acoustic songs on bonus disc, acoustic performaces, acoustic chats, it´s all more or less waste of time

The best part about the physical release is being able to play the songs in jukeboxes at bars now. Cedarwood Road with a pint of Guinness is wonderful

This band just can't do enough for their fans can they....
Free surprise album and an entire 2nd disc of material which consists of stuff they didn't need to make. But they did it for the fans and gave us a cool, different version of some of the songs. They haven't done anything like this since AB, yet people continue to complain. If you don't like what's on the bonus disc, don't buy it. Pretty simple. I don't think the acoustics are mind blowing amazing, but I'm still grateful that this band gave us some extra music that they didn't have to do. Some of you people whining about the 2nd disc are just as bad as the people complaining about the album on their phone. Can we critique the songs? Of course. But to rip the band for giving us extra songs is just absurd.

Well said.
We went 5 years with near nothing and in the past year it was like a waste land when it came to getting a new album. Then, they drop 11 songs on us only to follow up with 10 more songs less than a month later and there keeps being talk, from the Band themselves no less, that another album is almost done.
It's an amazing time to be a U2 fan and I couldn't be happier and. I am grateful for all 20+ songs!we have and I'm looking forward to the next batch.

Add me to the list of people who think "Crystal Ballroom" deserves a spot on the main album. Gets better with every listen.
Not a fan of Lucifer's Hands, but it isn't as bad as I first thought.
I did enjoy the acoustic tracks, love the alternate "Sleep Like A Baby Tonight" lyrics, and although I was really hoping for another "Invisible" chorus, I'm very glad they included an extended version of it, and having it hidden is apropos.
For what I expected from their album after a five year wait, I'm ecstatic either way for everything we've heard so far. So, so good.
I think SOI doesn't need your help.
New appreciation for acoustic SFS after the Graham Norton show,fantastic version. Maybe better than the album cut?

Um... I think you need some help. Maybe lay off the bottle a bit?
Ok sober SOI needs your help.
Nah, you were right the first time. It doesn't need my help. Have a drink to celebrate!
You've got a face not soiled by doodie

Not sure that I could have liked SOI any better than grabbed the deluxe disc.... while not a fan of all of the acoustic arrangements (I have this unfounded fear that U2 will be playing full concert unplugged next tour), Lucifer and Crystal really hammers home how much Im in love with this band. I will continue to say while this album won't break into the top shelf of TUF, AB, TJT, it settles nicely into my next group of War, Zooropa, ATYCLB.
