1. Originally posted by RattleandHum1988:I think SOI is a great album, but it lacks a Pride, or an SBS, an I Will Follow, etc etc. It doesn't have a big U2 anthem on it. Not that it needs to, but still. It's sort of like an album of really good deep cuts/album tracks, none of the songs is really good enough to be a single, or be played after the SOI/E tours.
    Every Breaking Wave could have been that anthem, but they "neutered" it live.


  2. Yup - I'm in that camp as well. SOI is my least favorite U2 album no doubt. It had no staying power for me.

    Now that I think about it, I probably haven't even listened to one song from SOI in over a year. It had no staying power for me.
  3. SOI worst album?, hell no.

    What is funny is I consider SOI to be their absolute worst album without question, but they seem to be proud of it, but even they admit it was over produced. They seem to recall Pop and Rattle And Hum as these horrible awful things, despite that being the furthest from the truth.


    HOW in the world can you think that?! WHY do you think that?
  5. I miss the B sides ... especially in this new single!

    It's not my least favorite but didn't do much for me either. I really only like 4 songs on it. Californis, Iris, Reach Me, and Troubles. And even those i rarely listen to. For me Bomb is my least favorite album.
  7. Can this be discussed in the SOI thread...
  8. I seem to be always getting slaughterd for going off topic, the last 3 pages have been about SOI
