American Soul.

Confused now then as to why it didn't work for me. The music service I used was the official store. :S

Looking at u2songs tweet...

"American Soul available as a download on the Extra Deluxe Boxset!#U2SongsOfExperien"

Did you get the extra deluxe boxset or just the deluxe?

Not sure if that makes a difference?

 

[super fly guy]

I ordered the vinyl and t shirt set,weirdly it didn't ask to pick a t shirt size?!

Just the deluxe cd. So maybe.... Did the other people that it worked for get the boxset?

If you pre-ordered through U2.com, did you check your account page for the download links? That's what they've done in the past. I'm trying to pre-order now but it appears their page is experiencing too much traffic or something.

Looks like they made a mistake with offering up the track for download... store down for maintenance...

[Vlaco]

Thanks very much!

 

[david]

So yeah, it borrows The “you are rock and roll” line from Volcano.

 

[womanfish]

ATTENTION: You can use the same link i posted to American Soul, but i also just did some editing and combined the Kendrick intro. So now there is a version of American Soul on there with the full intro by Kendrick.

enjoy!!!

 

[misfit toys]

I originally thought that the part of 0:45 was American Soul, but I guess the riff in the beginning is the song itself.

 

[ChurchBay]

This has the raw crunch of Jacknife Lee all over it...who was badly needed on SOI.

 

[rennowba]

Like it a lot but if volcano didn't exist this would be one hell of a track

 

[corianderstem]

Dang, this is not what I was expecting at all. I really dig it.

I don't mind the Volcano use - same as I'm not bugged by an apparent rejiggering of SFS. Nice connection between the two albums.

 

[hasin73]

American Soul is simply U2 on fire. What a song !!! It will be monster live.

 

[prbiker15]

Digging it, the Volcano throwback doesn’t bother me.

 

[RABIDLAMB]

Are we being trolled here.
American Soul and The Blackout are miles ahead of the so called singles.
Now I have high hopes

 

[hasin73]

Digging it, the Volcano throwback doesn’t bother me.

Who cares if it has taken cue from Volcano ? It's a great rocking song and an improvement over Volcano.

 

[danm]

I like it

 

[BVS]

Everything about it says I should hate it, but I’m actually digging RefuJesus more than the other two.

I must be coming down with something.

 

[womanfish]

i gotta admit i really like it. I also like Volcano a lot, but that's beside the point. This is really just a cool, interesting and bad ass song. I don't like the direct refugee reference that much. Too over the top literal to me. Lacks nuance.
But the song itself is killer.

I like the version i did with the full intro by kendrick cause it makes it feel more complete at least. The weird beginning of this and end of Get Out, take away from the listening experience.

 

[sfu2doc]

This has to be the show opener for the new tour. With long Kendrick intro.

 

[dismantlemyfly]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but during the JT tour there were people who have heard this track before... but they never mentioned the Volcano lift?

 

[BEAL]

So it has lolcano middle part for the chorus, and it also has the opening of Glastonbury in the song (the big screech guitar)

Not sure what to think about it. Feels like a mix of Volcano (of course), Glastonbury, and Lucifer's Hands

Kinda throwaway
