  • 2 years old now ^_^

  • awesome tune ^_^

  • Rip off of Elvis Costello's "Pump it Up"

  • @degree7 First of this rips off Fall Out Boy's music dummy.

  • @PopCulture20

    Wtf are you talking about?

  • Go U2 love them !

  • It's U2. it's not my place to not like. They are the master we are the students. If they wrote it, it must be good. I will just wait until i realise it..

  • First time I heard this I thought "someone's trying to sound a bit like U2" !

    The "how beautiful you are" bit's o.k. but the rest is a rip off of "pump it up" by Elvis Costello (from 1978!)

  • at about ;49 it starts to have a Alice in Chains "Again" feel to it..anyone else think so

  • i take back what i said about this song....Its really growing on me!!!

    I cant wait for the new album,meant to be up there with joshua tree and achtung baby! This could be fun!

  • It's Stone Temple Pilots!!

  • U2 haven't written "obvious on first listen" songs in years - and that's good cause if they did they would be Linkin Park or Britney Spears - they are ALWAYS deep slow coooking "growers" that withstand the test of time!

    :)

  • DEFINITELY grows on you - I just hope there are "deeper" songs like "Between A Man and A Woman" and "Kite" on the new CD.

    Usually U2 puts out rockers as singles and then have "mature" music on their albums.

  • i agree but ths on g yo called"between a man and a woman" is actually called "a man and a woman"

  • You're right - my bad - regardless, it's an EXCEPTIONAL song that goes "between a man a nd a woman"!

  • yeah that yahweh and miracle drug har my favorite from "bomb"

  • I LOVE EVERY song on that CD - genuinely and sincerely - I LOVE EVERY song on that CD. That's why I get SO FUCKING PISSED when some "supposed" U2 fan comes along and knocks it.

    And I'm like, OK shithead, tell me, WHICH SONGS are weak - because there ARE NO WEAK SONGS on that CD!

  • it didnt win album of the year for nothing

  • è dal 1984 che ascolto gli u2,ma questa canzone non riesce ad entrare nel mio cuore! speriamo nel album. "u2 -fno alla fine del mondo"

  • why dont i fckin see a video?

  • pretty good i most say. Its kinda weird hearing it from U2, but near 2:30 it reminds me somehow to its original style

    Catchy, it will take a while to get into it, if not, I'm sure the rest of the album will be all right ;)

  • I've seen the new video already! they look like they are in space and there are lots of graphics in the background! Bono with no shirt on towards the end of the video! lol

  • I'm really hoping a band like QOTSA will take that "you don't know how beautiful you are" riff and make an entirely new song out of it. it's the only section of the song worth listening to.

    I was surprised when I found out that this was U2....

  • I like it, so you guys just suck!! (just kidding :).I think it just needs time to grow on some people, but I do have to say, it kicks Pop's ass

  • I think they need to come in stronger on "you dont know how beaitiful you are"

  • OMG...well done! U2 is looking for Zepellin and Lake & Palmer so they are opening a new gap in the horizon and we are so proud of it...as future is continuos & UDos ( Spanish pronunciation )

    Come on I am waiting for run across the love border... on the next corner

    Run & Can

  • I see somebody mentioned Stackridge and their song "Boots And Shoes" . You can't mention the 2 bands in the same breath. Bono & crew could never hope to write a song or melody anywhere as near as good as anything that Stackridge have written or recorded.

  • Please SHUT THE FUCK UP old man and go back to IRRELEVENCY - U2 WILL go down as the greatest band of all time - just fucking DEAL WITH IT.

  • There you go.....the average U2 Fan ? Articulate, able to have an adult conversation, have rational discussions, able to at least consider another point of view. Bono ( who is a well read & well spoken person) would be proud of you,son! When you grow up to be a man you might just understand.

  • Listen you old dickhead - you're not a U2 fan, fine we get it - but don't come trolling around here and knocking them while promoting some old crusty boring band - Just fuck off back to your Stackridge videos.

  • Thats v. true boptobe42! I like U2, but Stackridge have more song-writing talent in their little fingers than young Mr Bonio & co! :-)

  • I'll be in the minority here, but I liked this.

  • Been a rabid fan since I saw Red Rocks and was blown away by Achtung. If this represents the direction of their new album, I'm extreemely disappointed. This song is very weak. Dance pop crap. Unfortunate since I was really anticipating this album.

  • I used to be a U2 diehard and I thought they finally made it back with How to Dismantle and Atomic Bomb looks like they went back to the PopMart era when they plain sucked. This song is absolutely horrible and I am very disappointed. I cant believe they charged $200 a ticket face value last tour. They are definatly not worth it. Do yourself and like I did become a Springsteen convert. more mature and seemed to care more than the Joshua Tree Era. Your success has clearly gone to your head.

  • Just chill - there is ALWAYS something for EVERYONE on their albums.

  • Sorry but The Korgis & Stackridge got there first!!

    Plus they had 'Boots **and*** Shoes' and not just Boots.

    Go check out the Korgis song 'Boots And Shoes' from "The Korgis Kollection". And you'll see/hear what I mean.

    Incidentally the song 'Boots And Shoes' as also been rerecorded for the forthcoming Stackridge CD - 'A Victory For Common Sense' due for release in May 2009.

  • If this U2 single is owt to go by I'm in for the Stackridge stuff - I think I'd even be in for theb latest Craig Marcus and the Vibrant Sinews LP at this rate. Bono should stick to impressing Bob Dylan or whatever it is that he does of a day job.

    Buzzy Linhart would never have let things get to this state

  • Tell you what, I've listened to it a few times now, and it's growing on me, which is what U2 songs have always done, when I first heard "The Fly" I thought "god this is rubbish not the U2 I love" and then I went on to think it was fantastic and "Auctung Baby" was a masterpiece, same happened with "Discotheque" and "Pop" and the same with "Verigto" and their last Album. So I say listen again and give it a chance, the Album will be great to!! This is what makes U2 great!

  • you are right brother!!

  • i'm a big big U2 fan...but this time...i don't like this song : i hope that the album is better...

  • I think it is Obama...new era, Ghosts aren't real (Weapons of mass dest),...america the beautiful...the hawaiian sound (Obama from hawaii), get on boots go to work...Pop Song? everything you know is wrong...it is very deep if you look past the literal linear meaning and look at the implied and then the poets unconscious meanings...

  • That`s U2? What a strange sound...!

  • Sounds like One Wild Night by Bon Jovi

  • Great song - good job U2! Can't wait for the album!

  • Sorry U2, thats boring.....

  • It's....interesting....

  • check them out playing Bad (Bad is a song-not how well they played) at Live Aid -U2 listen to the whole 12 minute version....try to ignore the mullet....THAT is unbelievable...U2 Bad LIve Aid--then check out the one from Rattle and Hum...but don't get the one that is sped up---not as good

  • the 8:15 timed one is the more accurate Rattle and Hum Bad...not the 7;30 one -though still okay

  • great track... great to hear u2 again. been 4 yrs since last

  • It is the fastest U2 song to date. Must be 150bpm! I'm not sure the older generation are ready for it...but your kids are gonna love it!

  • its not THAT bad, i love the bit that goes 'you don't know, you don't get it do you'

  • This is a great song.

  • nah, sorry U2. try harder

  • this is the next geretaion of U2. if you pay attention they change their sound every 10 years.

  • I LOVE U2....But this song Sucks...It's not up to their standard!!

  • fucking great!!!!

  • This is not good enougth! Come on Mr Bono get your ass into gear! A comeback single has to standout, like Vertigo, Beautiful day! This sounds like a left over from the Zooropa, Pop sessions!

  • pastel

  • I LOVE this song.  A return to the Achtung Baby standard for me. It has the vibe of a sountrack for a Rodriguez Mexican shoot-out movie - Antonio Banderas could be strutting around in his Sexy Boots creating mayhem, Salma Hayek on his arm. Bloody Marvellous!!

  • Pretty much, feels like this is a demo made by an U2 Coverband. Back to the rehearsal room boys!

  • Having listened to it a bunch of times since yesterday...it has grown on me. "You don't know how beautiful you are" I think gives it a "universal message" touch.

    I imagine this song will certainly be remixed.

  • honestly... i was expecting a lot more with the new single... its not that good... its actually pretty bad

  • Not my favorite U2 single, but new sounds are what make them great. They change with the times so they never get old. Maybe we'll find something incredible on the full album.

  • Big U2 fan. First single that I can't really get into. I think the song would be much better if the chorus was different.Instead of "sexy boots," or "get on your boots;" maybe a deviation of the bridge for the chorus:

    "Get into the sound, sound, sound,

    Can you get into the sound?

    Get into the sound, sound, sound..."

    Something like that, almost anything rather than POYB and "Sexy Boots."

    Bright side...Bono' kids can sell it, it would make a good commerical song...for boots, of course.

  • "ELECTRICAL STORM" was the BEST "MAINSTREAM" U2 SINGLE ever released & it never made it onto an album...thats a (PRIME EXAMPLE) of how good even U2's B-sides can be! Dont judge an entire album you havent heard yet on the basis of a first single which is track No.6 on the album!

    I CHALLENGE ANYBODY to listen to "ELECTRICAL STORM" & watch the video (directed by Anton Corbijn) & not be "AMAZED" at its LYRICAL, MELODIC & VISUAL GENIUS!

    (NEW U2 FANS - feel free to respond)

  • Have to agree, Electrical Storm is truly one of their best songs.

  • I am looking forward to hearing the entire CD. Out of all of their previous singles they have released, this is by far the wrose. From I Will Follow to Vertigo, all great. I have loved them all, The Fly, Numb, Discotheque, Beautiful Day (Even though the rest of the CD was very weak, Beautiful Day was great). This song does nothing...listened to it five to ten times...leaves me flat. Still looking forward to the CD.

  • Amazing, how I drive my car tonight along with "Get on your Boots." It's simple; it's U2 unpredictable. No more prohibition, just the best U2's salad. Brazilian fan, familiar way to be crazy! If I don't go crazy tonight...

  • Eh, it's ok. Not as good as vertigo or The Fly.

  • cool beats and beatle esuqe cords in the chours

  • Quick and Dirty...just the way I like it

  • Another genius tune from the same genius band that have been dishing out brilliance since motherfucking 1980

  • i love u2!!

    first time i listened to that song i didn't like it... but now, i cannot stop listening to it!!

    amazing!!

  • Reminds me of Vertigo but better,with things of Achtung Baby and Zooropa,guess we have to wait for the album to come and hear it entirely

  • I think it takes a bit of listening to before you realise that this is a good song. It grows on you. Takes a while to get used to coz its a completely new style... one of the reasons I love U2.. every album has a different sound.

  • I'd say it would sound good in a niteclub - sorof has a sixties psychadelic vibe -

    pretty good - but nowehere near as good as the 'The Fly' was...thats for sure.

  • mmm i dont like it =S

    i was expecting more from

    u2

  • same. its just not the same style as the classic U2 we love

  • great song is terrific

  • sounds like some other song..still love it though

  • Heerlijk nummertje van U2!! :D

  • if album is as good would be on a par with joshua tree

  • Super !!!!

  • U2 is awesome, this song is awesome,but still I prefer Coldplay greets from Limburg,

    Holland

  • Bad, really fucking bad.

  • Sorry To say this U2, but this song doesn't sounds good...At all.(N)

  • always something new, but i like it...

  • GREAT SONG!!!!!!!!

    The U2 of Achtung Baby, Zooropa and Pop, are back!!!!! ;)

  • they took a lot of time to come up with this new album ... I like the new experimental aspects of their work - reminds me of achtung baby, zooropa and pop! great band great potential

  • You have to hear it a couple of times. Every time you hear it, it sounds better;) Greats from Ameland, Holland!

  • U2 is awesome and also this song is!!!!

  • great!!!! U2

  • This is great! The more I hear it, the more I like it
