Music CD Review: U2 - Wide Awake In America

- Wide Awake in America was put together as a follow-up to the phenomenally successful The Unforgettable Fire, and captures two of that album's finest cuts as recorded live. While the studio version of "Bad" displayed U2's trademark whisper-to-a-scream structure, the slow burn is extended even further in the live arena. "A Sort Of Homecoming" is given the same over-the-top dramatic treatment. Throughout, Bono soars, evoking a drama of near-biblical proportions atop the studied, controlled intricacies of the Edge's effect-laden soundscapes.

- As a bonus, the EP includes two previously unreleased tracks from The Unforgettable Fire sessions ("Three Sunrises" and the rootsier "Love Comes Tumbling"), breathing new life into what was already a classic rock album.
