 Not really worth the purchase August 7, 2007
Erik J. Malvick (Davis, CA)
Let's face it... There are probably only a few reasons anyone would purchase this CD:
1. You are a completist (and the rating doesn't matter)
2. You want the B-Side.
If you are in category 1, go for it (I did). If you are in category 2, save the money. The single version of Vertigo is not any different than the album version. The B-Side can probably be easily found on I-Tunes or other online dealer for around $1. In fact, I don't find this B-Side to be one of U2's better ones. It is a decent song, but is any song really worth a $10 plus purchase? In general, U2's B-Sides have shown a definite decline, probably because little work is put into their production making these B-Sides effectively little more than demos.
 Vertigo - 2 songs at full CD price - ripoff March 8, 2007

I was expecting a great CD. What I got was 2 songs at more than what a regular 12 song CD would have cost me. There was definately false advertising with this one.
 Who mastered this? January 30, 2007
J. Cox (The Hills of North Carolina)
Great rocking tunes - musically. There is no digital headroom though with the mix - its pegged to the max. The songs are extremely compressed to the point of distortion even at low volume. It sounds like someone deaf mastered these songs. Even the vocals are distorted. Maybe that's how they wanted it, but this seems to be the growing trend with all digital music - to see how much headroom can be squeezed out of digital levels to the point of low level distortion. Bottom line - the songs rock, but the audiophile in me says they sound like c-r-a-p. It would have sounded better having the band play in a garage and putting up 2 cheap microphones to capture the moment instead of wasting money on a deaf engineer :)
 FED UP WITH "FED UP" March 26, 2006

U2 had nothing to do with denying Mariah the Grammy for Album of the Year. The listeners/fans/other musicians elevated their newest album to that great height. Just because an album might sell the most in one year does not mean it is the best of that year. Don't get so irritated and angry about who wins what. Relax & Enjoy the music!
ONE OF THE GREATEST SINGLES OF ALL TIME February 12, 2006
PAUL RODGERS
I was so happy to learn that U2 won so many grammys including the album of the year.U2 are a great band who richly deserved all their awards and the academy was right in honouring them.This is a great song AND I REPEAT THAT PLEASE BUY THIS SINGLE OR BUY THEIR ENTIRE ALBUM HOW TO DISMANTLE AN ATOMIC BOMB.Highly recommended.
