U2 know how to sequence the hell out of the first half of their records, but things usually go sour (or at least sketchy) on side B. Their classic records, like JT, Achtung, Boy are good because they had enough worthy songs to fill out the last half and don't seem as front-loaded. This is a band that should only release EPs.
Without "Streets" as an opener, though, the record would be a lot different and I don't think as universally loved. Such a great, great track 1. Always kills live, too.
Their last couple records have some phenomenally bad songs in the 6-12 position.
Put the Krylon can down and step away from the gas leak.
The second half may take longer to reveal itself, but Red Hill, In God's Country and Trip Through Your Wires may be there best 3 song sequence.
And I don't get the love for Bullet the Blue Sky, but to each there own.
And Rattle & Hum is probably my favorite of all their rekkids, so that's where I'm comin from
