U2 announce another best-of album

there be a best of U2? Possibly a worst...

This kind of shite really winds me up! As you say, no more than a few years ago they released two "best of" albums. Do they actually feel that their last two albums were go amazingly great that it merits the release of this? I think not.

For someone so concerned about poverty and world capitalism, Bono seems only too happy to bow to corporate pressure when it lines his pockets

being hordes of besuited office drones, middle managers and their weathered partners all clamouring for more easy-on-the-ear empty hollow faux-progressive pieces of aural shite to absorb whilst sitting in their humble abodes in suburban hell, picking their noses and shouting for another glass of cheap pink wine.

fuck 'em, and fuck their soundtrack as well.

How to reward loyal fans - Release a best of which contains two new songs which compels the hardcore fans into buying it.

but it's true.

Probably have to buy them for the Mondeo - plenty of them are going to be old enought to vote by now...

I can just imagine Billy Joe Armstrong, back in those early 90s, Gilman Street, Smoothed out Slappy Hours days, sitting on a stoop, drinking beer, dreaming about working with Bono...

no dance remixes? On A Ragga Tip was their biggest of big hitters FFS!

enough for one best of...not 3 which is the numeber they have released....

could it possibly be a U2 RED (the best of)....for which all profits go to BONIO's red charity-where he gets people who exploit povery- Gap et al, to give money to poor people...hmmm

If its not for profit, fair play..if its just another bid to line bono's pockets he really is on another planet

The Edge is my cousin's ex-girlfriend.

...really like U2.

That due to the fear of a change in Ireland's tax laws (like other "artists" Bono & co currently don't pay income tax), U2 were moving assets out of the country even as we speak.

I love Achtung Baby, but everything else they've ever done makes me want to throw up. Sorry

Are they just going to release their last 2 albums again, and put all those songs on a single CD?

1) It is highly likely that this album is a studio venture, not the band's greedy whim.

2) If someone is that much of a fan that they'll pay an album's price for two songs, well it's a silly choice, but so is buying The Others' new album. God I hate The Others.

3) I don't like U2, i haven't bought any of their numerous albums, but it seems as though for them nowadays the ends justify the means - they make money for charity (and obviously themselves), and we don't listen. Poor people benefit, we don't listen to two new U2 tracks.

4) Fair enough this venture probably is going to line fatcats' flappy pockets, but the fatcats are always going to get stroked so let's concentrate on what is new and relevant.

In conclusion: fuck U2 but fair play to them.

...can suck my bono, the tit.

hey, i hear jesus is looking for a replacement, maybe bono the saint can take his place.

bono is bollocks, baby.

he hasn't made a decent record in fifteen years.

saying that i quite liked that batman forever track they did.

Up til 1997, U2 were (at times) phenomenal. Now get your head out your arses and your attention span out of the last ten years and realise that they have an impressive back catalogue.

This release is still unneccesary though. But then again, the last two studio albums were pointless too.
