The Fly
I suppose someone here will chime in and claim that horribly grainy black-and-white photos of the band--clipped from VIDEO footage no less!--is somehow a 'cool' and 'artistic' thing.
I disagree.
That booklet is certainly nothing to crow about, mostly because of the photography. That there's no color is understandable: 4-color printing is expensive. I do not at all understand why grainy pictures from 8mm video footage was 'THE' thing to do here.
How many people here really, really LIKE the photography in the book and agree that it was handled properly? I know U2 pores over details like T-shirt designs and stuff before signing off on them. Indeed, the band probably pored over the booklet design as well. And that has me scratching my head.
Good thing the CD itself is, in my view, the most listenable of all their repertoire.
