1. I thought the magazine that came with the boxset was an extended version of the 36 page booklet in the digipack, in that it contained the song lyrics and a whole lot of pictures.

    But apparently from Yeah's post in the MoS thread it also has discussion on the songs themselves.



    Which as you can see is quite interesting (and in this case solved the mystery of MoS's meaning)

    So is there any more info pertaining to the other songs and the album in general?

    Still need to read it, planning to do so after I finished U2 by U2 but I'm still at Zoo TV there.. Might read it this weekend sometime..
  3. So does anyone mind posting scans or transcribing the info from the magazine on the background behind the songs?

    I think it would help everyone further their understanding of the album.

    the book that came with the box set also explaines what some of the songs are about


  5. I think the book is just a hardcover version of the magazine. So from that too.
  6. These are the other ones with Bono explaining songs. There's more from Larry, Adam and Edge on the musical side.

  7. what about the movie which was with that book...Anton's movie..is it any good?


  8. Linear? We have a topic for that. It's decent...a so-called work of art but it could be better.
  9. Here's a link I found for the entire magazine:

    URL Removed.

    Was an interesting read

  10. I've removed the link for a while. Official material is not allowed. Although I must admit it is very tempting.
