Anyone know where this paper comes from? Never heard of Waikato, myself.

U2 Best of 1980- 1990 (Polygram)
Well, it's "sod off we're never going to be like we used to so buy the
greatest hits album and get over it" time for U2. And a finer collection of
alternative '80s rock you'll have trouble finding. Despite efforts to
disown their '80s material, U2's '90s work has been fragmented and
resembles passing trends. This collection, ending with their Rattle and Hum
album, shows a band with a unique sound and an honesty that bores a hole
straight to your heart. Because of their diversion from their peers, only
Sunday Bloody Sunday, New Years Day and I Will Follow show signs of dating.
Their work from The Unforgettable Fire, The Joshua Tree and Rattle and Hum
remains crisp, earnest and unforgettable. With the inclusion of 1991's
Achtung Baby, this compilation would, in my mind, not require another
volume. Those wanting the extra CD of b-sides should be wary -- of fan
value only.
