U2 – The Best of 1990 – 2000

Artist: U2

Title: The Best of 1990 – 2000

Label: Interscope

Rating: 6.5/10

“Lemon”? The second part of U2’s greatest hits package is here this Christmas. There are a few tracks that missed the cut for whatever reason, new tracks and remixes.

Hits:
“One”, “Mysterious Ways” and “Beautiful Day”

Mixes:
“Staring At The Sun” – This remix is actually better than the original.
“Discoteque” – Isn’t as potent.
Miss Sarajevo” – This seems like a trick.

Misses:
“Electrical Storm” – This new track isn’t interesting, if anything it feels like a step backwards.

Most of you who are reading this own All That You Can’t Leave Behind or Achtung Baby so why buy this for two new tracks? It’s hard to subscribe to that. Sure U2 is a great band, but the ‘80s was certainly a better decade than the ‘90s.
