U2 Album: “Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of, Pt. 1 [Australia]”

Yet again U2 has managed to force feed us 2 more "club" versions of an otherwise excellent song. "Beautiful Day" is a long awaited old style U2 rocker that has plenty of potential if remixed properly. On these cuts, all but 1 guitar riff and Bono's vocals are stripped from the song making the remixes sound terribly forced, not to mention poorly paced.

On the other hand, "Big Girls Are Best" is an EXCELLENT outtake from the "Pop" sessions and a must have for any U2 fanatic.

Thumbs up on the cover photo as well, these guys still look great after all those years !!!

This single features the same version of "Stuck in a Moment" as the record, 'All That You Can't Leave Behind.' So why buy it? "Big Girls Are Best" is an outtake from the 'Pop' sessions, much in the same vein as the other b-sides from that record (like "Holy Joe" and "Happiness is a Warm Gun"). The remixes of "Beautiful Day" are interesting if you are into dance remixes (and if that is the case, check out the Perfecto Mix single of "Even Better Than the Real Thing"). Otherwise, pass this one by.

This is an exclusive U2 Australian import single with four (4) tracks, including: Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of (album version), Big Girls Are Best, Beautiful Day (Quincey and Sonance Remix), and Beautiful Day (The Paul Oakenfold and Andy Gray Perfecto Mix). As far as remixes go, they're not bad. I'm just not usually a fan of them. But if you wanna host a U2 rave, you'll love 'em. Big Girls Are Best was produced by Flood and Howie B and is obviously a leftover from POP. It's gritty and fun with heavy bass, jangly guitar, great harmonies, and a '60s Britpop feel to it. Big Girls Are Best alone makes this a worthy purchase for any U2 fan. Enjoy.
