More 5G Than Man
I LOVE the b-sides from it.
Boomerang I
Boomerang II
The Three Sunrises
Love Comes Tumbling
Bass Trap
Sixty Seconds in Kingdom Come
U2 had such an interesting style during this time. Edge's guitar style was blossoming, Adam's bass tone was amazing (Love Comes Tumbling FTW ), Larry had this awesome compressed drum tone, and Bono's vocals were sooooo soulful. UF could have been one of U2's most creative and interesting albums, but was ruined by poor choices in the tracklisting.
Why the hell did Love Comes Tumbling not make the album? Where is Bass Trap? Boomerang I and II could have been combined to make one seriously great track, and Three Sunrises is an easy candidate for the album.
Indian Summer Sky and Elvis Presley And America are C-side material at best, and have no business making the album, MLK should be tacked to the beginning of another song (not given its own slot), 4th of July pales to any of the instrumentals listed above (Bass Trap should take its place, IMO), and ANY version of Bad but the one on the original album should have made the cut; it sounds like a terrible demo compared to any version on a bootleg, and especially the WAIA version, which completely slaughters it.
I propose UF should have looked more like this:
1. MLK/A Sort Of Homecoming
2. The Three Sunrises
3. Wire
4. The Unforgettable Fire
5. Love Comes Tumbling
6. Promenade
7. Bass Trap
8. Pride
9. Boomerang
10. Bad (WAIA version)
Now that is an album you can be proud of.
