SONG(S) OF THE WEEK: U2
There are two new songs on U2's latest greatest-hits compilation, "18 Singles" (Interscope), which hits stores today. The first is the fiery cover, with help from Green Day, of the punk single "The Saints Are Coming," which has already, more or less, made its mark. The second new song is "Window in the Skies," a pretty, midtempo rocker that slips some Beatle-esque phrasing into the standard U2 soundscape. It's nice, but it doesn't really turn this OK collection into a must-have - the bonus DVD in the deluxe edition, however, is a different story.
