More 5G Than Man
I actually liked Electrical Storm more. I'd put it up next to Sweetest Thing in quality, but it's not freaking amazing like 402.

Where The Streets Have No Name

Sleep Over Jack said:I'm pleased there are none of the awkward slide guitar riffs that have been on the last two albums, I never really took to them. I'll also say the chorus is a monster, and feels unforced which I think has been a problem on many of their 2000-era tunes.

yeah, Window is damn good. Eternal? I don't know; that's a tall order. But it does have that Beatles/Lennon perfect pop feeling. The chorus is good, the end is amazing.

BINGO! This man has got it right! The song definitely feels more natural than most of HTDAAB. For instance, the guitar here in the chorus sounds fresher than the odd Electrical Storm like guitar in the Time verse of COBL.

Me too, I thought the silent tears were coming. I always listen to a new U2 song with my eyes closed, this one really moved me. Gave me chills. The ending just took off.

we'll see how it stands up over time. I'm liking it a ton right now & think I can easily find new things to like in it as time goes on.
I'm loving the Beatles feel to it----because it still has a fairly unique U2 feel to it, as well. Now I'm very curious to hear what the rest of the Abbey Road tracks sound like----and what changes they've done to the rest of the beach clips (and perhaps Mercy )
djerdap said:About the slide riffs, I agree that the ending of Electrical Storm is one of the most awkward and bizarre things Edge has played. In a negative way, unfortunately. It sounds like Donald Duck having a dump.
I like it though in City of Blinding Lights and it is really beautiful in Miracle Drug.
