I'm giving it a 6 at this stage - I'm enjoying it, but so far it hasn't really jumped out and grabbed me by the balls (figuratively speaking, that is )

I give it a 4. I'm trying to listen to this song how the average person would and most non-U2 fans that have heard the song say its just weird, not catchy or memorable. Local radio station poll said most did not like the song.

Hmm... I guess I was misreading all of the interviews with the band members and people like Lanois, etc. Then again, they always do this with every new album that comes out, because they have to.

I think people will find a place in their heart for it when its played live.

I gave it an 8. at 35 years old and being a U2 fan since 1991 Ive been very critical about some of the material they released initially such as Pop & Zooropa. Overtime though those albums have aged gracefully but never really came close to JT or Actunug Baby. In my honest opinion I feel their last 2 albums were fantastic...as a whole though I think ATYCLB just beats out HTDAAB. I can honestly say, that if single is really giving any indication that No Line On the Horizon is going to be nothing like the last 2 basic rock albums, I think many of us like myself are going to be extremely pleased. I blasted this song about a dozen times at home this morning & quite a few more in my car. If the thumping at the end LET ME IN THE SOUND doesnt get your adrenaline goin, well then....

I've been a huge U2 fan for years and I have to say it sounds like a sloppy afterthought - really not first single material.
It's a 4 for me - it's a grower - but it's just not a great single.

5, a let down. but i'm sure the other songs on the album will be better
RUBBISH!
All over Radio 1 yesterday they were loving it the radio presenters and general public. radio presenters were saying how young fresh and catchy it sounded and even my mates who don't really give a toss about U2 were saying wow thats a good song!
I can remember when Actung Baby came out and the majority of people where going what the f*** is this load of shi** this aint U2 etc when the Fly was released.
And now everyone says Actung Baby is U2's finest piece of work and the Fly was increadiable
Its funny how the world works and peoples perceptions on things!

Yeah I don't get this whole 'give the song time to grow on you.' I think a really great song hits you the first time you listen to it.

I gave a 7/10 whilst being completely objective. It's a good song, but not a great one. It's like a wonderful one-night stand with Megan Fox.

I'd say it's becoming more like a one night stand with Rosie O'Donnell

Good to see the song ranks pretty high! 
I'm sorry today I didn't give 8 points, but I guess there are some things that I still don't like about it so 7/10seems to be pretty good.

no way!!!!
I didn't get any of Achtung Baby the first 5-10 times.... my favourite was One because it was more like 80's U2, but a song like The Fly got me hooked after a few days/weeks.... now it's in my top 5 !

not ranking as first single, I'm ranking the song as a "U2 rocker" (10 being only for The Fly and Exit)

What about Until the End of The World?
now that I think about it I would def add UTEOTW and Gone to 10/10 U2 rockers

I gave it an 8, maybe it squeezed an extra mark for the thought of it live this summer

I give it a 7, but it may be one that grows on me like The Fly did back in 1991.
