I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For - 8,8/10 it sounds familiar, i probably heard it on the radio before. it's similar to the previous song but a little bit sadder and more melancholic. it's not a 10/10 because it feels like it has less variation, but i still love it, especially the chorus.
With Or Without You - 8,7/10 i've also heard this before. the song starts a little boring but when the guitars kick in the song gets more fun as it goes on.

Come On! Feel the Illinoise!" (Part I: "The World's Columbian Exposition" / Part II: "Carl Sandburg Visits Me in a Dream") - 9/10 such a vibe i love it. it gets better the further in the song you go. i also realised this song is perfect to think and do philosophy homework so im gonna do that now
