Ah, right
I'm starting to think I'm the only person who liked it on first listen
Nah, it's not that I think it's a grower, I'm really digging the sound they've created and can't wait to hear more of it, but the chorus just sounds out of place to me.

The song with the Black Eyed Peas dude and Sheryl Crow from the thing last night is pretty good, they're showing the whole celebration on TV again
U2 twice!

Oh my god i moaned the whole way through it... Will.i.am KILLED a bob marley classic, it would have been better with just Sheryl I think. No one should try and sound like Bob. Sound different, whatever, but don't do a poor imitation

Which bit is the chorus?
I say it's the you're so beautiful part. It's the only part that repeats, and it's musically different than the verses, which would qualify it as a chorus according to its definition.

I think the "you don't know" part is the chorus. It was mentioned that it would be hard to tell what was verse or chorus on the album.

I like the 'let me hear the sound'' parts
Oh I quite like that bit, I think it's my favourite part of the song. Middle eastern sounds

I think it would've sounded better in a different song...for some reason, it just throws me off in the middle of the rest of what's going on.

I know what you mean - it is really different, but I don't think it's jarringly so. This really is the sort of song that completely depends on your tastes, don't you think? There are so many different sounds and stuff... it's hard to like them all

Edge did say it's not about the album but each track is like a single. Can't wait for the rest

Most definitely. My first thoughts were that I love the direction they took with the verses' sounds. They're finally on the same page as I am, at least musically, it seems.
I can't wait to hear the rest of the album though. But, I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to take the insanity of this place until then.

I'm sure the album will be great but I hate the idea of an album of singles.

I think it's going to come in tides.. like now everyone's so hyped up, but it'll go in a few days.I'm so glad I'll be on holiday and away from here about a week before the album comes out. I just won't be able to take the leaks
And I don't want to damn well cave!I'm sure the album will be great but I hate that mentality of an album of singles.
They always work on a best of though

Yeah, I didn't know that he'd said that, and that's not a good thing in my mind. I'd much rather have an album made, not a bunch of songs grouped together...

Oh, I'll listen to a leak, no question. I just can't resist. Edge did say it's not about the album but each track is like a single.
Did he say that? I know they always said that about Bomb
I hope he was joking

The whole album is going to be sold unchanged later as The Best of 2000-2010.

So this means they've held true to their belief - that they keep getting better and better?
