Would you rather have a few crappy b sides now or a new album in a year ?
Be positive.
I guess, but with 60 songs, they COULD do both......

The tracks are "No Line On The Horizon 2" (alternate take) and "GOYB" (Punk Version)
Still excited?
U2 supposedly recorded 50 to 60 songs last year, and the best they can offer for bonus tracks are remixes?
I'm feeling nostalgic to the good old days when U2 offered up great b-sides to compliment the singles from the album. What happened to those days?

What a disgusting cash in. Way to respect U2 fans, U2. To all those who say that's the way business is. The Cure's Robert Smith avoided it and fought for fans when the record company tried to rip us off because he actually adheres to his ideals and cares about us!

yes this is the song and i'm not excited....remember ground benefth and fast cars...and now just alternate verion? They have writting 50 songs during the sessions and we have just B version.
Are you the robin hood of the u2 fan?

It's obviously a matter of degree, right, but U2 and itunes and Interscope know that certain fans will want this stuff, and it's unfair to make people buy a whole new album to get it. What about putting this stuff as b-sides? Isn't that more fair. Also, I suspect many more people would be up in arms if they didn't know they could download this stuff illegally or have it emailed to them.How can it be a rip off if you know in advance what you are getting? There is no deception here hence no rip-off. If you choose to see it as greedy so be it but rip-off is something totally different. Some people see it as the band offering choices. That seems to be how the band sees it as well. There is an extremely small percentage of people out there who seem compelled to buy everything but no one forces you to do so. You have a clear and straightforward choice with all the information necessary to make a decision.

It's official, like a referee with a whistle!

It's a cash grab and it's unfair to ask so much money. Whether people pay for it or not is not the issue. Any product could have its price raised but does that make it fair if there's already plenty of profit to be gleaned? I would argue no. U2 could charge $100 dollars for the new album (regular version) and people would still buy it but that wouldn't make it any less greedy and corrupt.
I just got one of those customized banner ads in my gmail account, saying "U2 - New Album - apple.com/U2 - Pre-order "No Line On The Horizon" and get 2 bonus tracks here!"
So I went and checked it out, and it's confirmed: $17.99 for the "Deluxe" edition on iTunes, which has 2 bonus tracks drool -- and apparently you have to pre-order NLOTH in order to get one of the bonus tracks. No names are provided yet for the 2 extra songs.
No wonder Bono said the album's long!
Most of the songs on In Rainbows 2 were relatively substandard but were released anyway on a separate CD. U2 couldn't even muster 2 original songs on the deluxe?

What ever happened to the "great twist or surprising ending" on the album that Dave Fanning talked about a couple of weeks back? Was he listening to the UK cd version that had a bonus track on it? Has this been confirmed or anything yet?
i think it's pathetic that you keep bringing up Radiohead's weakest album of this decade as reason for us all to hate the new U2.
