2.0 out of 5 stars Review Of Deluxe Box Set Content, March 10, 2009

By	Bornintime (The East Coast) - See all my reviews

This review is for the deluxe box set. Since the cd is the same the question is whether you want to pay anywhere from 65 to 95 dollars for the extras. You get 2 posters - 1 a large reproduction of the album cover that to me has gotten boring pretty quickly. The other side of that poster and the other smaller poster show the band standing around looking serious and important as they are prone to do. There is a large sharp-looking high-quality white hardcover book with some nice pictures and an interview with the band. I've read it through once and enjoyed it, and will probably read it once or twice again before my death hopefully many years from now. I guess I bought this set primarily for the dvd by Anton Corbijn, a film that is played over the new U2 songs. Mostly it shows a man riding his motorcycle and walking. The only U2 content is the band playing Magnificent on a staticky cafe television, really too distracting to watch. I want to say that watching this dvd was as exciting as watching paint dry but I think that would be insulting to paint. I don't think I will ever watch it again, even if I live a long long time. All of these things are packed in a big mother of a box (12" x 9" x 2"). I absolutely love the NLOTH cd, but with this box set and with U2 bigger is not always better. Like with their new stadium tour called U2 360 - the band will play from a stage "in the round" so more fans can see the band (and their backsides) than would normally fit in a 60,000 person stadium. As far as the De-luxe edition it currently takes up a large space on my bookshelf, always reminding me that I could have bought the regular cd for $10.

5.0 out of 5 stars Breathe a sigh of relief as NLOTH is Magnificent!!!, March 3, 2009

By	Stephen A. Shula (Sugar Grove, IL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

What an amazing album! U2 continues to reinvent themselves and NLOTH is more proof that they are successful. If you are looking for Joshua Tree stuff or even All That you Can't Leave Behind, you won't find it here. Those albums are masterpieces/classics and I can see this album there someday. This album is different, and I would have to say there aren't a lot of quote on quote radio friendly songs, but we do have a lot of well written music that all compliment each other well. Highly recommended to anyone!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Yet Different., March 3, 2009

By	T. Christiansen "S.D.M.F" (Salt Lake, UT USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you are hoping that U2 has gone back to their Joshua Tree days then you haven't been listening to U2 over the years. U2 has always been about change they have never really stayed in the same place their whole carrier. They do what they feel is passionet, and meaningful to them hoping that us as the listeners will feel the same. This album is Amazing! It does sound different, but you can really feel the passion that was put into it. U2 once again has made a classic album, I love it from track one to track eleven. I totally recommend buying it!
