The tracklist I have for NLOTH on my mp3 player is:
01 Soon
02 No Line On The Horizon
03 Magnificent
04 Moment Of Surrender
05 Unknown Caller
06 Breathe
07 Get On Your Boots
08 Fez - Being Born
09 Winter
10 White As Snow
11 Cedars Of Lebanon
I took a while for me to get "my" perfect tracklist, but I got there.
Since the versions I have for "Soon" and "Winter" (Linear version, of course) seem to have a good sound quality (no substancial differences to the rest of the album), it helps to the overall cohesion.
"Soon" as the opener flows very well into NLOTH. Try it to see if you like it too.
I left unchanged the NLOTH-UC combo because I think it's one of the best U2 has in its entire catalogue.
Then it comes the biggest changes: after UC... "Breathe" followed by GOYB. I tryed it andm surprisingly, it works.
Then, since Fez has hints takes directly from GOYB, I think it made sense to put it after GOYB. When I listen to the "real NLOTH", I almost always skip SUC, and maybe that's why I'm so used to listen to GOYB into Fez-BB.
I choosed to close my NLOTH with the political comment but yet, very atmospheric songs: "Winter" into WAS into COL. I know some might think that 3 mid/slow-paced songs at the end can be "meh", but I like a lot the chain that this songs now create.
This is a suggestion of what I think it has the most perfect fluency and cohesion for NLOTH: "Soon", the 4 song group, the rockers, FEZ (with GOYB hints - and GOYB already has the empowering women comment which leads to...), the atmospheric slow paced political/belic songs.
Yes, I removed CT and SUC. I think SUC is a poor attempt of U2 trying to be some sort of adult contemporary funk, it's a boring and uninteresting song for me. CT is U2-by-the-numbers instrumentally and it has some of Bono's most random-line and tasteless lyrics. That's why I left both out of the tracklist: I think NLOTH can perfectly live without them.
