Review - :
The {^Beautiful Day} single is the first from {$U2}'s 2000 album {^All That You Can't Leave Behind}. {^Beautiful Day, Pt. 1} contains the title track as well as two previously unreleased B-sides: {&"Summer Rain"} and {&"Always."} {&"Summer Rain"} sounds like a better-produced outtake from {^Salome: Achtung Baby Sessions}, which would qualify it for inclusion on a {$U2} single. It is musically simplistic and the lyric does not elevate. {&"Always,"} however, is an awesome song, among the best non-LP tracks the band has ever released. Much has been made of the "return to the basics" quality of {^All That You Can't Leave Behind}. But such analysis is a bit blind to the {$Eno} and European influences in the album's music. {&"Always"} applies the best {$Eno} has to offer with a well-written song. It sounds very similar to {&"Your Blue Room"} from {^Passengers}. This is a very good single because of the strength of {&"Always."} ~ JT Griffith, All Music Guide
