By the time 2006's U218 SINGLES was released, U2 had been one of rock's reigning behemoths for a good quarter century. Whittling down the group's hefty discography to 18 tracks seems impossible, but U218 SINGLES solves the problem by focusing, as the title suggests, on singles. Consequently, some crucial tunes, namely early ones like "I Will Follow," "Gloria," and "Two Hearts Beat As One," are missing.

But since one of U2's greatest strengths is their ability to create imaginative and engaging music that can also cross over into the mainstream, the collection brims with great material. Some of the band's best recorded moments--"Pride (In the Name of Love)," "New Year's Day," and "One," for example--are showcased, along with immediately familiar anthems like "Sunday Bloody Sunday," "Mysterious Ways," and "Sweetest Thing." A handful of tunes from the 2000s--like "The Saints Are Coming," the band's famed collaboration with Green Day--round out the set. Most of these songs have already become a permanent part of the pop-culture fabric, but that doesn't lessen the appeal of hearing them on this smartly compiled set.

Includes a bonus track.

Includes the UK only bonus track 'I Will Follow'.Rolling Stone (p.129) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]his CD is U2's catalog stripped down to the stadium-shaking warhorses..."
Q (p.154) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]here's a sense of personal care and attention here, as if the whole thing comes with U2's personal seal of approval."
Uncut (p.96) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[A] demonstration that U2 are out on their own now, the last of their kind."

if you adore U2 like yer first-born kid, then get it. but then realise that you have the songs many times already. ok there's the green day one and another new one. are they gonna be better than anything U2 did in the 80s? you know the answer. bono and his backing band don't need yer money. i expect they'll get by if this coaster of a compilation stiffs obscenely quickly. meaningful rock with a big conscience? get fugazi. or make yer own music... support U2... blow them off stage... end their careers.

Before I begin Id like to say that U2 are my favorite band of all time. There isn't a day that goes by that I dont stick on one of their albums and have a listen. I also own many DVD's and T-Shirts along with other merchandise. And yes, I did get this album, but it is a huge disappointment for several reasons. Theres one thing that bugs me about U2 fans. Yes you will get the proper fans with all the albums, but you will also get fans who would just own a couple of the newer albums, and this is who this album is aimed at. U2 already have 2 greatest hit albums, so why this? Because they know it will sell to those who love 'Bautiful Day' but have never heard 'The First Time'. And with it released just before Christmas, it'll sure make a great present. The songs chosen are put together lazily. Pop and Zooropa are ignored completely and the likes of 'Bad' and 'All I Want is You' are left out. This proved to be the last straw with me. Ive avoided the re-releases of Boy, War, and October and will not add to my U2 collection until the new album.
