U2 Strikes Again: A throwback remix CD of a "Crazy" tune,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight (Audio CD)
When I first heard "I'll Go Crazy if I Don't Go Crazy Tonight" I liked it. Alternately it wasn't my favorite song on "No Line on the Horizon". I believe that NLOTH is U2's best album in the past ten years. It has character and pushes limits that the two prior albums never seemed to reach.
I digress, "Go Crazy" is a good tune but nothing to get wild about, or so I thought. I just saw U2 last month in Tampa on their 360 Tour. The version of "Go Crazy" they perform is totally different from the album or single mix. The live rendition is a funky, disco sounding techno track that totally BLOWS AWAY the album version. Larry is actually walking around the stage playing a Congo drum!! As for this remix CD, I think it is really great. It is almost a throwback to the "U2 of the 90s", which is a good thing. 1) Single version - This version isn't too different from the album version. Dare I say a little more poppy? 2) Fish Out of Water remix - This rendition is a bit more of a "dance" flavor and changes up the chorus a bit, it reminds me of "Information Society". 3) Dirty South Full remix - This interpretation is dark and somewhat creepy. This is probably the most interesting mix on the CD, using lyrics that are jubilant and back them by a dark wave soundtrack. This is my favorite version. 4) Redanka's "Kick the Darkness' vocal" - This adaptation really takes me back to the "Pop" album. 5) Redanka's "Sparks of Light" dub version - This revision has a very open and majestic feel to it. 6) Redanka's "Kick the Darkness' instrumental version - This alteration is basically the "Kick the Darkness" version without the vocals. It would have been cool if a live version of this song was included on this CD. In contrast, when the song was played live bits and pieces from these remixes can be heard. For instance, Dirty South Full remix can be heard towards the end of the live version. I hope that future U2 singles have as much punch as this CD single does.

U2's best this decade!!!!,

This review is from: I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight (Audio CD)
I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight. This song is easily the best on the new album -which is also great-if not the best of U2's decade. The song is from the blackberry commercial and the animated music video. It's lyrics, melody, and beat are superb. This discs contains several remixes and the single version, it does not include the blackberry version, but the single/album version is very similar to that. This is a must have for a U2 fan, or a great song to start with for new U2 fans. GREAT SONG!

U2 I'll Go Crazy 12" Vinyl,

This review is from: I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight [Vinyl] (Vinyl)
While debate abounds about the relative merit of the new U2 album, No Line on the Horizon and its single releases, I for one do like this track and am very pleased to have a vinyl option. Glimpses of their best in this track and the warmth of vinyl make this a great release. I am much happier to use my hard earned on this than five versions of the same album, one with a book, one with extra pics, one with a free icecream etc etc
