U2 Album: “Audio Biography CD”

If you're a U2 fan you've heard this all before. A spoken commentary of the band's early beginnings at Mount Temple through their rise to superstardom until the relatively recent Pop album. Each chapter is punctuated by a comment from the band (usually Bono). The CD would benefit from samples of the songs discussed and more actual commentary from the band - the lack of these probably due to legal constraints. Overall, the CD is good for what it is - a chronogical description of a band's rise to fame. It's value would be for those new to the world of U2, but for the ardent fan it's all old news.

I was disappointed to receive the CD and read on the back cover "This is a spoken word product and contains NO original music by the artist." This was not disclosed in the product description or song list.
