7 is a collection of seven (how clever) b-sides and remixes from All That You Can't Leave Behind, released exclusively at Target. Before you rush out to buy this disc, it helps to remember that b-sides are b-sides because they didn't make it on the album. They're usually a little rough around the edges, but like most U2 they're still pretty good. Four remixes from All That You Can't Leave Behind finish out 7, the best of which is the single version of 'Walk On' that ends with a chorus of hallelujah's. 7 is for the U2 fan in need of a fix, and if you're not a hardcore U2 fan, you'll live without it.
