Okay, can you explain two things to me, what is it about Miami which makes you rate it that highly, also can you explain your reasoning for ranking IGWSHA last?
Miami is a song I love....I love the fact it is a departure for the band sonically and i love its off kilter rhythms and beats. Bono's delivery is laconic and cool and then the song bursts into a metallic riff from edge with Bono maniacally shouting!! It's fucking cool...It also absolutely fucking killed live.
As for Angels - I don't hate it, it is a clever and bleak track that has some interesting things...but it is spoiled by u2 clearly dressing the song up to be a big hit - edge with that dull, boring chiming guitar and the over earnest delivery at times from Bono - i reckon there is a much better grittier earlier incarnation of it laying around somewhere, but u2 being u2 had to go and polish it up!!
It isn't awful and it hasn't had all the good stuff stripped out, but it does to me veer closest on the album (along with SATS) to being what u2 eventually sadly largely became after Pop.
