Usually these guys are fantastic, with their quality level ("Like New"/"Very Good"/"Good" etc) spot on. But the jewel case for this was all scuffed up and the booklet was a bit dog-eared. It's definitely not "Very Good". This is the first bad experience I have with Music Magpie. It's a shame because now I don't know if I can trust their ratings. Buying second hand stuff really depends on that...

U2 are one of those bands that have such a fan base so as to merit my review irrelevant, for no matter what I or anyone else says it will not make any difference to the fact that YOU ARE GOING TO BUY THIS. I wouldn't worry too much if I were you because, in short, this album is superb. More of a "complete" album I would say than some of their recent albums, and certainly ticking all the boxes that make U2 what they are - one of the world's greatest bands. No, no, deny it all you want, but U2 are monumental for what they do, and only a fool would discriminate them for their success. Moving away from the format of single after single of tap-your-feet-along-to-the-beat-please kind of music, U2 have produced a wonderfully vibrant collection of songs that create a whole - rather then the odd stand out track surrounded by misplaced jargon. It's not that U2's recent releases have been poor; it's just that they weren't quite up to the standard of previous classics Achtung Baby and The Joshua Tree to name but a couple. The songs here fade from one to the next with graceful precedence, and the album as a whole is a joy to listen to. By no means perfect, however, I did find the production a little heavy at times - probably just my own personal opinion (I have a thing for raw production), but not surprising given Brian Eno's presence at the helm of production, as well as others. This is an album that will not disappoint, whether you like U2's heavier stuff or their more fragile pensive stuff, it's all here together in one perfectly arranged slice of delight that flows from the disc to your brain with delirious brilliance. I can't recommend it enough - but I doubt I really have to: you will buy this.Vollständige Rezension lesen
Having been a fan of U2 for many years, buying this CD was a no brainer! I was not disappointed as the band are as tight as they have been in a long time after their various diversions on previous albums. Some real stand out tracks are:-Magnificent, Get on your boots and Unknown caller - sheer excellence and having seen them at Hampden in 2009 & in Rome last October the tracks also stood up well to the live performances. Go buy it today and add to your U2 Collection.
Hi like this CD, is one the U2 Albuns that the you more listen, the more you like. I think that in the future lots of U2 fans will look this album in a different way.
