Review: 2 stars (out of 5)
By Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
As U2 were completing the supporting tour for The Unforgettable Fire, they released the four-track EP Wide Awake in America. Comprised of two outtakes ("Three Sunrises," "Love Comes Tumbling") and two live cuts (including "Bad"), the record may be aimed at the hardcore collector, but most U2 fans will find it necessary, since the two rejects are actually stronger than about half of The Unforgettable Fire, and the live cuts again demonstrate U2's undeniable talent for captivating concerts.
