okay.......2003-09-07

I'm not that big a fan of U2's song "Elevation." I sort of prefer my U2 to be serious. This single is worth picking up for the b-side of "Don't Take Your Guns to Town," which is a laid-back cover of the Johnny Cash song. Nothing revelatory, but a good thing for the die-hard U2 fan to own.

%What an awsome U2 single!%.......2003-06-03

This is my favorite U2 single of all. Elevation is even my second favorite track off of ATYCLB. I even went to a concert of the 2001 tour. I really like the great guiter ending by the edge in the live version of "Last Night On Earth" from Mexico City. I really like too the tribute to Johnny Cash in "Don't Take Your Guns To Town" . And the main track the Tomb Raider mix of "Elevation" is great. It's well worth your money, compared to other singles. I also suggest the first "Elevation" single with the really cool phycodelic Influx Remix of Elevation and two others . And also the single of "Electrical Storm" with two great mixes of "New York". U2 is just the greatest band

Customer Reviews:

LOUSY TOMBRAIDER MIX, EXCELLENT OTHER MIXES.......2001-09-20

The Tomb Raider mix familiar to most is less bouncey and more industrial thanks to former NIN guy Charlie Clouser, and is not really my cup of tea. Much more fascinating are a sort of arabic hiphop version that anyone who has seen U2 live recently will be familiar with, and an evil hiphop turn on the Quincey and Sonace mix.

The Goal is Soul ..........2001-08-10

"Elevation" - a rock song, a dance tune, a soundtrack favourite. U2 have always been able to pump out songs that can get you to stand up and move, go 80 mph in a 35, and lift your spirit when your soul is anything but elevated.

This single includes 4 remixes. The first being the hit single from The Tomb Raider movie (I dare anyone not to rock out to this song). The Second, the 'Escalation Mix', takes U2 back to it's more dance friendly phase - not too memorable, but still good. The third and probably most famous with the U2 crowd is the 'Influx Remix'. This remix was featured as the band's intro for their Elevation tour. The 'Influx Remix' is a great example of what all remixes should be like. Experimental, but true to the original song. Can't beat that Sitar. Finally, the last song featured on the single is the 'Quincey & Sonance Remix'. Quincey & Sonance also did an admirable remix of U2's "Beautiful Day" but their take on "Elevation" stands high above it.

This is just a great song with great rock, great roll, and great soul. U2 have done it again and it is obvious who has the job of greatest Rock 'n Roll band on the planet.

Influx Baby!.......2001-07-22

The influx remix of elevation is better than anything on their new album (save for In a Little While). It makes one yearn that they returned to their more experimental 90's music, instead of dishing out cold leftovers on their new album.
