U2 can't reproduce the fly in the same way because the studio owes to Brian Eno's slashed speakers and echo chambers

5* Patti Smith "Until The End Of The World" e Jack White "Love Is Blindness" Excelentes covers. As melhores, sem dúvida! 4*: The Killers "Ultraviolet (Light My Way)" Todas as outras são covers menores... algumas muito fraquinhas! Aqui se vê a arte de "assassinar" uma grande música! :(

Groovy! Wish that 'solo' went on for longer.

When you hear someone else do a U2 song, you really start to grasp how great of a band they really are, no matter how solid the cover of their song is.

Great cover. It's always cool to see a friend cover their mates' song. I actually prefer Friday's version. I wished his most recent album, Catholic, sounded more like this.

As a life long fan of U2 and Achtung being a personal album to me. I have to say this is way better than the original version. But not as good as "The Lounge Fly Mix". Its only an opinion, but a honest one. Friday tries so hard to sound like Bono it's untrue but whilst doing so adds a more sombre and mysterious take on it. Still have to give U2 massive credit on the lyrics and knocking Bryan Adams of the U.K number one slot. with this song :)

I kinda wish Depeche Mode and Gavin Friday did two or three songs each on this album... despite the fact it would be considered extreme favoritism - still would have been sweet.
