5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic remaster!, October 26, 2009

By	Chauncey Gardner (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews

U2 in a rare pantheon of artists, being together for over 30 years, fans get the rare gift of seeing the band evolve musically before their collective eyes. The Unforgettable Fire was the first album produced with Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois, and represents a huge leap forward both musically and lyrically. This album represents the sound of the band that would become the mega-selling act for decades to come.

The remastering reveals who new layers to the music, a crispness and clarity that only enhances epic tracks like THE UNFORGETTABLE FIRE, BAD and PRIDE (IN THE NAME OF LOVE).

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally!, November 6, 2009

By	R. Fleurant "R.F." (Hollywood, Florida United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It was about time this was remastered! I own the MFSL gold cd, and this new version sounds very good, a little brighter than the MFSL, the instruments come out clearer but this also adds a little bit of hiss. The sound levels (no extreme compression/limiting here) give room for the dynamic range to breathe. This album is a classic, the songs flow nicely one into another and now we can enjoy it without having to buy expensive gold remastered cd versions. Cheers!

5.0 out of 5 stars Remastered - Finally done right!, December 12, 2009

By	W. STOCKTON "walt_t_s" (Hernando, MS United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've had the orginal cd release of Unforgettable Fire for some years now. The sound on this remaster is incredible compared to so many crappy remasters from other labels over the last few years. I though I was listening to an SACD release. Way to go U2!
