Agree that it's a great cover. I guess some people may be disappointed by the music though. I don't think U2 are ready to make anymore "artistic" and experimental albums by now. That was the 90s and that phase is left behind.

Of the 190 albums that got at least one vote, 79 of them got only one vote. 38 more got only 2 votes, and 20 more got only 3.
15 of the 30 voters filled up all 25 slots, 15 didn't. There were 8 voters who didn't have anything for which they were the only voter. 6 more voters had only 1 album nobody else voted for, and 8 more had only 2. At the other extreme, one voter (i.e. Xhuxk) had 15 of 25 albums that nobody else mentioned, and another voter had 13.

so i really dug their demo CD in 2006 and kind of skipped their album in 2008 due to hype backlash i guess... then after hearing everyone say their performance on SNL was subpar i had to go download the episode myself and see.
turns out it kind of blew me away and i am now digging their LP/EP. i'm liking it even more than the demo and really getting a Morricone vibe on a lot of songs. sticking it on my 'pod next time i do a stagecoach holdup.

Here are the top 5 most similar other voters for each voter. The decimal number is a rough measurement of similarity: 1.000 would mean the two people's ballots exactly matched. This takes into account album popularity, so the fewer people voted for an album, the more similar two voters are for sharing it. The second number is the raw number of albums in common.
