If there's one perk to this whole CD reviewer thing, it's getting all those rare limited-edition discs. Like the new two-CD version of U2's Best of 1990 - 2000.

We don't want to brag, but we got copy No. 222781. Yeah, it's a great feeling to be in an elite group with -- well, apparently, another 999,999 people.

OK, so maybe U2 don't quite grasp the concept of a "limited" edition. Still, if you're a fan, you might feel this 30-song affair is pretty special anyway. Naturally, it has all their hits from the last decade, like Beautiful Day, Mysterious Ways, Even Better Than the Real Thing, One, Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of and, um, Hold Me Thrill Me Kiss Me Kill Me (OK, so the '90s weren't their best decade). Plus it has two new songs -- the typically anthemic and quite pretty Electrical Storm and Hands that Built America -- along with B-sides, covers (including an edgy cover of Happiness is a Warm Gun) and plenty of remixes.

So many, in fact, that they start to feel like filler after not too long. Another quibble: The Fly is only included on the single-disc version of the set, so you gotta shell out again if you want it.

Presuming, of course, that you can find it for sale anywhere. (More on U2)
