aww c'mon, look at the track listing once again. It's all their singles
(starting with War, ending with R&H) plus Sunday Bloody Sunday
and Bad because that's the two songs a lot of people know as well
(remember Live Aid?), so I don't see much of a difference to a
"Greatest Hits" or "The Singles Part I". The final prove is for sure the
inclusion of When Love Comes To Town of which I won't believe that
U2 think this represents one of their best output.
