Rate the Song Series: Bass Trap

[Irishteen]

Seeing as this forum seems to quite like these TUF era b-sides, let's go rate another classic

YouTube - U2 - Bass Trap

 

[Axver]

10. I fucking love this song. Gorgeous instrumental, lots of atmosphere. In my top 15 U2 songs.

There's just no justification for why it didn't make the album. Great idea to include an instrumental, but 4th Of July instead of Bass Trap? What were they thinking?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, while I do think there was room on the album for both Bass Trap and Love Comes Tumbling, I also believe 4th of July just NEEDS to be there. Studio Bad without it just doesn't work for me anymore.

yep. i posted my extended tracklist in another thread, but i still think Bass Trap could have opened the album, followed by ASOH.

7. Could have made it in onto the album, but probably best that it didn't.
