  1. i like Mercy even better than Every Breaking Wave

I do think it deserves an "official" release for the studio version, but I think it would have to come through a B-side or some special CD. For example, if they did a "Best of 2000-2010" it would probably go there.

    And a HTDAAB re-issue? I wouldn't mind that considering that it was the album that got me into U2 to begin with.
  5. Mercy is soooo underrated. Such a strong song. I don't understand why they didn't release the 6 and a half version on album...
  6. Mercy doe'sn't fit on SOI
  7. It was written at the time of How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, and could have saved that record from being an almost complete disaster.
  8. Just leave it where it is I say. I think the 360 version is probably the final one for the band. It would have to take on an EBW-style transformation to appear on SOE and I don't think it has much else left to give.
  9. I think "Mercy" is a song that could not evolve in disc recordings. And there may be ruled out due to the lack of ideas to recover. But this is only a hypothesis about it.
    But I do expect a lot better than presented as Demo version.

  11. Really? There is no doubting the song is a gem, but was the album that bad? I don't think so at all, but its all about opinions

    I don't agree either.
