Review by Caro Ayre

Album Review: From The Ground Up Edges Picks From U2360 Alright, buckle up, because we’re diving into U2’s From The Ground Up Edges Picks From U2360. Released in 2012, this rock-meets-alternative-rock gem is like a time capsule of the band's live energy during their legendary U2360° tour. And no, it’s not just another “greatest hits” compilation—it’s got soul, grit, and enough swagger to make you wanna grab your air guitar and shred through your living room. First off, let’s talk about the tracklist. It’s stacked with classics that feel as fresh as ever. But two songs really stuck out for me—probably because they hit hard and refuse to leave my brain anytime soon. Take "Sunday Bloody Sunday," for instance. Man, if this song doesn’t give you goosebumps, you might need to check your pulse. The way Bono belts out those lyrics over The Edge’s razor-sharp guitar riffs? Pure magic. Listening to it feels like being punched in the heart—but in a good way, y’know? Like when someone tells you the truth but wraps it in poetry so beautiful you can’t stay mad. This version brings an extra layer of raw emotion from the live performance, making it impossible not to belt along (off-key, obviously). Then there’s "Vertigo." Oh, sweet chaos. That opening riff hits like caffeine on an empty stomach—jittery, exhilarating, and totally addictive. You don’t just listen to this track; you experience it. It’s one part rebellion, two parts adrenaline rush, and a dash of existential crisis thrown in for flavor. By the time Bono starts shouting “Uno! Dos! Tres! Catorce!” you’re either headbanging or questioning all your life choices. Either way, mission accomplished. The production credits are solid too—shoutout to Declan Gaffney for pulling double duty as both mixer and producer. Pete Maher nailed the mastering, giving the album a crispness that makes every instrument pop without losing its live vibe. And hey, kudos to Candida Bottaci for keeping everything coordinated because, let’s face it, wrangling U2 is probably harder than herding cats. Now, here’s the thing about this album: it’s not perfect. Some tracks feel a little too polished compared to their raw studio counterparts. But honestly? That’s part of its charm. It’s like catching up with an old friend who’s grown wiser but still knows how to throw a killer party. So, would I recommend From The Ground Up Edges Picks From U2360? Absolutely. Whether you’re a die-hard U2 fan or just someone looking for music that punches above its weight, this album delivers. Just don’t blame me if you end up belting out "Vertigo" at 3 AM while your neighbors glare daggers through the walls. Final thought: If U2 ever decides to release a karaoke version of this album, I’m dropping everything to audition for The Voice. Until then, I’ll settle for rocking out in my car.
