I voted for the troubles. It’s not a bad song. Indeed it has the potential to be a very good song. But I find the phoned in female vocal repeated over and over spoils it somewhat.

Cedarwood. I like it fine but it’s sort of Dad Rock.

EBW.  The band seem to think highly of it.

I would have preferred an extended guitar conclusion.

Cedarwood Road. Not a bad song but too simple for my taste.

Definitely a solid tune, yet I don't quite adore it the way many seem to.

My vote too. The album version is trash.

Same here. Overrated because it sounds like Zooropa U2, so many of us seem to cling to it like a lifeboat.

I agree.

EBW is a perfect example of how u2 have completely lost their way in quality control. It’s actually a fantastic song utterly ruined by the presentation on SOI.


My vote too. The album version is trash.

In my sense of understanding, i should be voting for a song i hear many praise, but i feel the praise is undeserved or overdone. And with that in mind, pretty much the one song, i hear most people rave about, from SoI album, is EBW.
