true, but the Super Deluxe packages of The Joshua Tree and The Unforgettable Fire were still pretty nice. Soundwise, the MFSL's are better, especially TJT

The music they made the laste decade is worthless to me, it has nothing to do with their masterpieces of the past, of which Achtung Baby is the last one IMO

Achtung Baby isn't released yet, so can't comment.

War is a bit improved, not much, but it's still the version I'd prefer. As for The Joshua Tree, I'd advice to search for the MFSL if soundquality is only factor (I like the Super Deluxe extra's which made is worth for me)

War is improved, but not extremely much. Some are better then others.

Unforgettable Fire is also improved as I hear it. The Joshua Tree is maybe improved but mostly simply louder (it is nice though not having to re-adjust volume at 'With or Without You' :P) and the MFSL is the best version IMO.
