Yeah, I know, no one wants to hear any more complaints about GH. But
considering this list is really the only place for my u2 ramblings, you're
going to have to hear my feelings on GH. I originally had some misgivings
about a GH album, but I realized that every band worth their salt has one.
So, the idea grew on me.
I went out yesterday and bought it on the way to class. Listened to it at
work and must say that the sound quality is great - no doubt about it.
However, I'm feeling shortchanged as far as the setlist goes. Do we really
need to hear the sweetest thing twice?? Nice song, but I'd rather have the
remix on the b-sides and another song on the main disc. And this has
probably already been mentioned, but 'Love Comes Tumbling' and 'Three
Sunrises' shouldnt have been on the b-sides. they are both found on 'wide
awake' and i would have preferred some other b-sides, despite the fact that
'love comes tumbling' is a great and one of their most under-rated songs.
also, instead of 'angel of harlem' i would have preferred 'heartland', but
that's just me. :)
finally, i have to say october at the end was a nice touch.
