Great songs, but......

Review Score: (10/10)
While I agree with some reviewers that some songs that weren't included should have been, and there is certainly room on this cd that runs at 65 mins in length, for at least a couple more songs. And, yes, some songs are shorter than the album versions, which I presume means that they are the single edits. Again, the cd length allowed for the full versions to have been included, but for some reason they weren't. I have no idea why they weren't, and on these points the album really deserves 4 stars, but because the music really is exceptional, and U2 is a great band, and I love these songs, I have to give it 5 stars. The booklet has no lyrics but a lot of photos of the band over the years.
