heh it is only february though isn't it
Its strange to read many of the comments on here. Its a very subjective thing, so I understand that some people just won't like the song and that's obviously fine. Taking how good/bad you think it is, I thought that from the first listen of it, its the most fresh, exciting, vibrant I've heard the band in ages. There's a real energy about the performance which hasn't been there in many years IMO.
Not to mention the fact that they all sound like they're playing out of their skin and actually sound like they're having real fun which can only be a good thing IMO.
It's funny because I absolutely love the oooohs at that bit - it lifts the song I thinkThe song rocks! I liked it from the first time I listened and that's really something that doesn't happen very often.
The only issues I have are with the bridge - I like Bono's singing, but I wish he'd shut up with the oooohs during the bridge. And also the lyrical mishmash in verse 2, sounds very Bongolese, I cannot make out anything, but I guess the "real" lyrics will be on the album version.
Listening to the 45 sec clip again I have to say I cannot imagine how that version will turn into a "punk" version, but from several reviews it's clear that the song will have twists and turns and that there will be a good amount of Bono screaming on that version, too.
But NLOTH 2, phew, got me so excited, makes me want to dance.
Do you think this was the original mix of NLOTH before the delay?
on mininova there is a 320kbs rip of this, sounds alot better than the file being emailed around, I love this tuuuuune!

And that is by no means a bad thing.I'm getting a Holy Joe vibe....
subjective as it might be, I agree 100%I love this version thus far, but one thing I can't shake about it (and why I think they ultimately left this version off the album): the song doesn't seem to match the lyrics at all. Obviously that's totally subjective, but it just feels...wrong, somehow.
Bought the single today, only 99 cent each for the CD and Vinyl, awesome
NLOTH2 should have been the first single.
It's got a damn cool experimental intro and the rest of it kicks ass melodically, lyrically and riff wise.
They could have done that and then had the softer NLOTH on the album which would have been genius...
Is it true that the 3-track single doesn't exist anymore? Back in the day there was a mention of two different singles: One with two tracks, one with three.
I got the actual CD single today, its cool to see they listed Lanois as "Danny Lanois".
