Yellow vinyl reissue which is also a gatefold which wasn’t the case for the previous vinyl release. Price is obscene : 65€. I might buy it further down the road if I find it for 40 or less…

T-shirt and hoodie are nice :



But the back ruins it for me :

A dangerous idea that almost makes sense...

I'm content with my 2018 pressing. It sounds incredible.

The rest of that stuff is the same over-priced junk they've been churning out for the last decade. I miss when U2 had cool t-shirt designs and merch that was actually interesting.

Why put band name on back of hood as well FFS.

As for "Zoooropa" is that some sort of rip off?  ;)

Yeah that hoodie would be cool if it was just the symbols on the front.  Having it say U2 on it makes it lame.  Would only want people who recognize those symbols to know I was wearing a U2 hoodie lol

Yes, but if U2 had called it quits after the Elevation Tour they would be universally esteemed and we who've been fans from the old days would be looked upon with awe and respect. Yet alas, here we are....

Hopefully Bono donates the money you gave him to a charity that will help you out financially.

Surprised they didn't affix the Grammy symbol on the hoodie next to the zoo baby.
