I bought ‘All You Can’t Leave Behind’ and it feels like it was recently, but it was 24 years ago! It was the last album I ever bought on tape. Edge hasn’t changed much since then.
Ive been a U2 fan since ‘82… I always will be but I’ve been disappointed with these re-release type albums. It’s been 7 years, time for a proper new release guys
They have done a Dolby Atmos mix of the album, which is being played at a few special venues for fans. Not included in the box set or any other physical releases. Why not? There’s very little in the box set to justify anywhere near the asking price as most content has already been released. A missed opportunity.
Considering what they’ve released over the last 15 years, I think we’re better off. If it takes you years to write and record albums like Songs of Innocence, then it’s clear the tank is nearing empty.
Agree w/ these comments. At these point, U2 has been a brand and not a band for as long as they once were good. Re-hash this classic, regurgitate that tour. Smoke & mirrors. Just look at a band like Simple Minds. Their new material is still good & listenable & not embarrassing.
Edges beard is uneven. The soul patch bit of the goatee is squint. Its very triggering hahaha *no disputing this...as i am an expert on nurturing face fuzz :P
U2 all your families and following generations have the life result for next century. It's unbelievable the charges for material with a bunch of "news" songs. U2 disappointed me from many years ago.
Well, to me, Atom Bomb was the moment when U2's career died, and they haven't recovered since, so the LAST thing I'd ever want to buy is a box set of the album that ruined it all. On the other hand, I've been waiting 35 years for a Rattle and Hum box set. Now THAT would be worth buying!
All the negativity surrounding U2 over the last 12 years would not of happened under Paul McGuinness. I am grateful for all the great music they have given us. They can still put out some good songs but do I want to listen to a whole album? Good to see Edge being interviewed and not Bono. I am sick of listening to Bono searching for the most intellectual words he can come up with in interviews. Another big mistake was the sphere shows without Larry. When the history of music is written I don't think it'll be as kind as it could or should have been.
Give it up, U2. You’re milking your legacy for every last dollar to the point I can’t stand the sight of the Edge and Bono’s wrinkled face anymore. I made my way through the sleepwalk cash grab of Songs of Surrender and finally accepted this band had nothing to offer anymore. My God, what lazy dreck that they had the audacity to charge $20 for. Yeah, it’s been like that for at least 15 years (I like most of NLOTH), but I stuck with them out of some misplaced loyalty. Now celebrating the 20 year anniversary of a mediocre album and even more mediocre material that couldn’t make it on the original album? Get lost you out-of-touch phonies.
As a lifelong fan, I'm sad to agree on all fronts. Unless they have one more album in them that solely focuses on creativity and experimentation instead of commercial pursuits or 'relevancy', it's time to pack it in.
Some really great songs on this new collection. Thank you Edge!
After listening to all of the newly realeased material...... it should have been a double album.
I see it more as this could’ve been one album that could almost be a masterpiece
@@nickcds3419yep, most of the additional material is better than the album which I always considered to be weak for U2. Some strange choices.
@@nickcds3419it WAS a masterpiece back in 2004. I never got tired of it until the next album in 2009
Edge is the best! Awesome shadow album. Treason is the highlight
Agreed. Happiness has a cool Popmart feel.

How’s that new album coming after 7 years?
I'd be surprised if there is a new album. Ridiculous at this point

It's such a laugh. Stop tinkering with your old albums and release a new one already. 2017 was ions ago.
Why not release a double cd edition? Oh, you have to buy the £100 edition.

U2 are all about the money now
Oh really? Tell me more.
Unfortunately this is true.
Totally agree.... or maybe it's not the money because they're very wealthy.... probably just lost their way in my opinion.
Projection... Is basically an ego issue

Try writing an actual song.
U2 have lost it.
New collections is garbage like their last 4 albums

Bomb was pretty crap.
@@willg9193 the sad part is they swore they would never end up like this
Bomb was up there with War and Joshua I listened to it regularly for 5 years it was No1 in 27 countries your comments are outlandish
Nobody is forcing you to buy it,stop being so dramatic.lol
There’s a reason songs get left off the albums. Their B sides for the most part haven’t been any good
Eighties and ninety b sides are excellent
one reason being they only wanted 11 - 12 songs on there.
Not here. These are good..
