Don't waste your money on this!

Review Score: (6/10)
This is just a badly put together collection that offers little in the way of anything new except for a 'new' song "Sweetest Thing" which I find to be relatively dull in comparison to much of U2's other work. The shortening of many of the songs ruins them completely and there is room for at least four more full-length songs. This collection is great musically but they really squandered their chance of making an excellent collection. The B-Sides edition though is much better but they should've released those B-Sides on a separate album! Don't waste your money on this useless collection. Get their albums instead
