NLOTH II destroys all the songs you mentioned.

NLOTH2 is the only U2 song I actually deleted from my computer.

most of the songs I mentioned just bore me, but that one actually offends me

I'd rank NLOTH as the fourth best song on the new album if only they'd used II instead of I.

Yes way. NLOTH II has a far better vocal take, a stronger ending, Bongolese (!), and is just all-round awesome. NLOTH I is still a good song but a bit closer to mediocrity ... it lurks around seventh or eighth in my song rankings.
