one message compliaining about the greatest hits is one too many. Who
are you to say what should or should not be on the album? Or what
edits should or should not be made?? That's the band's/management's
choice.
Somehow the album is a bust because they didn't have a couple of songs
on it that you would have liked to have seen? I would have liked a
DOUBLE album of A-sides, but who cares, this is what the band chose.
Like many people have pointed out many times before - this was not a
release as much for the hardcore fans as it was for casual fans, or
fans that have been out of touch with the band for a while.
If you are more of a hardcore fan, like most of us on this list, then
go listen to the songs that you feel are "missing" on the original
albums that you undoubtedly own.
I for one LOVE hearing all of these BIG songs back to back on one CD,
with outstanding sound quality. Like the Edge said, they wanted to
put together an album that would some up certain periods of their
career while still being something you just want to listen to around
the house. I think that they've done that.
What's next, complaining about the camera angles on the Popmart
Video???
Grow up people
PS.
I would also like to say cheers to J for writing a very nice defense
to this negativity. And I would also like to commend 95% of the other
people on the list for not badmouthing this gift that the band has
given us.
I'll tell you, going into the music store and seeing people look at
the CD with a big smile tells me that is a success.
