I like u2 but this sounds like the Beatles on CRACK. Come on guys you can do better than that. Hell I could do better than that. Oh Bono nice Souyh Park episode you are #1 lol
it is weird that they have such good songs on the album (magnificent, breathe, i ll go crazy) but they choose this shit to be their first single. it doesnt make sense!?
'let me in the sound' part will cause earthquakes in live arenas. clever of U2 to bring this out first and then the others..an addictive album or dare I say an astonishing album...some real gems in there.
Worst song on the album. Which doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad song, It's rather average by U2's standards. The album is amazing! Anybody heard Winter? dropped at last minute from new album, definitely should have kept it in, epic song!
every1 tries and if u like it then u like it ok? so i mean leave them alone its an awesome song! and u can ask my mom if its the same and she ill tell u no she is the buggest U2 fan EVER.. trust me
I have found with most U2 songs they need a little time to grow rather than being instantly likable. However this song in particular seems to drone with little energy, at least lyrically.
their music has been crap since they turned radio friendly pop after the lack of sales of their most interesting albums. im glad to see them try something again instead of just looking to sell albums..
the radio said that this would song more like there old stuff but i dont know if they know wut old is because i think it sounds more like actung baby, im not sayin its a band song but i just think they cud do better
Me too basinboy. Listening to this is like watching Michael Jordan when he came back to play at age 38. Sure he was pretty good, but he used to be the best on the planet. You just want to pull them aside and ask, "Have you started to think about hanging it up?"
This song isn't that bad. I myself am a younger U2 fan, so I have heard most of their albums for the first time in the span of about a month. I liked them all, but this song is really different from U2's 'glory days' (1986-1992) as I see them. I can understand how one could construe this song as complete crap.
I totally agree on your "glory days" reference. They've grown a lot as artists and people, and the change of sound comes with time, listeners and age, but I think they're missing that old bang. They've got that "we're older rockers now, and we have causes" which is great, but I seriously miss the likes of "Sunday, Bloody Sunday."
this isn't 'experimental music' I am sorry to say. This song is very similar to cuts from their 2004 album 'How to dismantle an atomic bomb" listen to the opening track from that album, it has striking similarities. So, I am sad to say, that this shouldn't even be called 'experimental' this song is just more of the same U2 since their last album, love it or hate it.
I do not see anything wrong with 'boots.' So, this song might not be similar to their other works, but it doesn't mean we should trash it. Half of the comments on this video are about how awful the song and album is. U2 is no doubt an amazing band, and BONO is a very influential person. Sexy boots might be a little weird, but atleast they aren't cranking out the same pop crap like Britney or Lil Wayne. We need more bands like U2 and coldplay.
This had to grow on me, i hated it at first now I love it. But remember, as it was stated earlier, U2 releases their worst single first. I've heard 2 other new songs "The Magnificent" and "Unknown Caller" which are both better songs.
A perfect album my favorite is Unknown Caller # 4, but also number 3, 5, 2, 1 and 10, I forget 6 get on your boots now. I can stop listening # 4 amazing chorus and lyrics.
The 1st time i heard this song i was "on the fence" about it. But the more i listen to it the more i love it. And i listen to it a lot!! Better than "Vertigo"?? U2 rocks by the way.
