Not bad, but it's incomplete.

Review Score: (8/10)
Is U2 the greatest band in the world? They could very well be, and this collection is a nice survey of their work for the first ten years of the band's recording career. We're treated to the hits: "Pride," "With or Without You," "Sunday Bloody Sunday," "Desire" and so on. These songs have aged gracefully and still hold up well. Yet, more discriminating fans will note that this collection is somewhat incomplete. Where, pray tell, is "Gloria," one of the most important tracks from their early recording years? "In God's Country" wasn't as big a hit as, say, "Where the Streets...," but it was nonetheless one of the stronger cuts off the "Joshua Tree" album. Unfortunately, that song, too, is missing. That gripe aside, I still recommend this disc. The early editon had a bonus disc of b-sides and rarities. If you can find a copy, you should get your hands on one. Otherwise, this single-disc edition will do.
