What’s Italian for Buffalo?

We’ve received word from Italy that the “Best of” is on sale at all shops. ZooItaly.com has more scans for your perusal.

While we are loving the buffalo, we think the front cover’s hideous, it looks like the “My favourite tunes” CD-R your uncle gave you for your birthday. We’ve seen bootlegs with better design. Moving the “U2” at the top from the centre to the left would improve things a great deal. Discuss…

  1. The cover for the acthung baby outtakes (3cd) is better than that cover. And that bootleg even had pictures of different things not even remotely related to the band. The new best of cover is unique. Maybe that’s why they chose it. I’m still buying it though. 🙂

  3. The buffaloes are superb, in every way. After a slew of questionable calls (the sequencing, the inclusion of ATYCLB songs, more remixes than bona-fide B-sides, the omission of key numbers “The Fly” and “Lemon,” etc.), I thought this Best Of was going to be a botch all the way. Then they revealed that maginificent cover art. At least there was *something* I could feel totally good about.

  5. Oh yes, how dare U2 not give us the exact track listing each of us wants, even though that’s impossible and utterly foolish to expect!

  7. I thought they were just being thematic – first one with the boy on the cover, now buffaloes, and the next one will be whatever memorable image comes from this decade.

  9. Maybe the ATYCLB symbols? The heart in a suitcase, perhaps. I think that it might have something to do with a heart, anyway.

  11. On a side note… Mysterious Ways (complete with new lyric) is up at U2.com now. It definately sounds like an overdub. I am so used to the original lyric too… it sounds weird but go there and have a listen for yourselves.

  13. You’ve got to be right about the ATYCLB suitcase, DudeLove. I’ve got it on my mousepad, key chain, t-shirt…. Ah, sweet concert memories!

  15. Hey, so if the album is on sale in Italy, let’s see the History mix from the DVD extra, or at least hear a review, or something!!

  17. It matches the other best of by being on top… What’s on the back of the jewel case??? Buffalo ass??? You guys remember Faith No More’s “Songs to Make Love To” album that had the two rhino’s humping on the cover??? Now that was a great large ugly animal album cover!!!

  19. They released the cd today (31st october), its prize range is from 25 to 30 euros (ltd. ed. with bonus dvd). The booklet features brilliant photos by Corbjin from the whole period focusing on AB a little… I really can’t tell you about the bonus dvd because I ain’t got a dvd reader 😛
    Oh, and italian for buffalos is bufalo (singular) and bufali (plural). 😉

  23. Since the site hasn’t update today yet, and since this would be the only semi-relevant topic… IGWSHA (Big Yam Mix) is up @ U2.com…. and what a steaming pile of monkey crap. There is this funky techo drumbeat in it that completely ruins the song. Like… honestly, even the remix of it on the Mofo Remixes is better than this… ugh, why must U2 decide to butcher some of their best song with crappy remixes?

  25. What’s the difference between a buffalo and a bison?

    A bison is what an Englishman uses to wash ‘is ‘ands in.

    Thank you, I’ll be here all week.
