>While the band and crew were working on the album's mixing, Lillywhite's wife, singer Kirsty MacColl, volunteered to set the running order for the album. The band told her to put "Where the Streets Have No Name" first and "Mothers of the Disappeared" last, with the rest sequenced according to her preference
Is this the most frontloaded album in rock history?
>>71033372
It's pretty damn front loaded, but One Tree Hill is a good song to have near the back end.
>>71033372
Yeah, pretty much all the songs on it I like are on the first half. After that I start to lose interest.
>>71033372
No, but the second half is too patrician for most people tho.
>>71033555
U2 is too patrician for most people anyways.
is there a better live album?
i listened to it the first time awhile ago and i thought the back half was way superior
>>71033626
I'd love to see them live if I didn't have to sell a child to get tickets.
Don't mind me, just posting the best U2 album.
>>71033692
but that's not Pop
>>71033692
>not War
Exit is the best track
War > Boy > Achtung Baby > Unforgettable Fire = October ≥ Joshua Tree >> Pop = All That You Can't Leave Behind >>> everything else
>>71033747
agreed
>>71033794
Zooropa is good tho shut up
>>71033747
this
What's irritating about U2 is that their discography has good albums literally every other album
Check it out:
>Boy is incredible, October is a sophomore slump.
>War is them coming into their own and mastering their Punk roots, The Unforgettable Fire is them clunkily trying to experiment in just a transitional effort
>The Joshua Tree is obvious GOAT, but Rattle and Hum is them getting lazy and resting on their laurels.
>Achtung Baby is them literally trying to backtrace and retcon R&H with a style shift, but Zooropa fails the same way R&H did since it's just phoned in and cocky as hell.
>Pop is surprisingly underrated, while All That You Can't Leave Behind is genuinely one of the most overrated albums ever made.
Prove me wrong

TUF and Zooropa are good
