ONE love, blood, life
By now we all know the archetype for track orders that U2 has replicated at least in part on pretty much every studio record since the Joshua Tree. Start with a fast-paced, upbeat single, follow it up with a slightly more mellow song(in some cases much more mellow), followed by a ballad, end the record with a darker rock song followed by a downbeat, depressing song, everything in between...you know. Anyway, I've just been looking at the tracklistings of the last two records and if you rearrange the tracks a bit(not much), you can make them match the archetype to a T...
