U2

The Best of 1990-2000 (Interscope) Two new songs, the luminous "Electrical Storm" and ruminative "Hands That Built America," join the cream of Achtung Baby and Zooropa, three unremarkable Pop remixes, only two cuts from All That You Can't Leave Behind, and effluvia like "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me." The limited edition 2-CD version is mostly remixes, and not as essential as the B-sides disc on Best of 1980-1990. Nevertheless, the verdict remains the same: Best Band Ever™.
