Title: good for serious U2 fans
Review: "Beautiful Day" is a good song, certainly destined to be a classic. This time, it appears that they have not taken a misstep with regard to choosing the first single (as they did with "Numb" and "Discotheque"). The b-sides are worth the buy for the serious U2 fans or those who end up really liking 'All That You Can't Leave Behind.'"Summer Rain" is an infectious tune that, with a tad bit more work on the lyrics, could have been more than a b-side."Always" is an interesting b-side for the same reason that "Lady with a Spinning Head" (from the 'Achtung Baby' sessions) was. That is, as others have pointed out, this song sounds like an early (or later) manifestation of "Beautiful Day" with the similarities in the music. The chorus a la Mr. Roboto is kinda fun as well.
Is the review positive or negative?
