This reminds me a bit of Boy Falls From The Sky, with an electronic influence.

More like Smile.... U2 is now an Indie Pop band.....

I fucking hate The Killers. But this song is pretty good. Not sure if I love the song by definitely better than a good portion of their last 2 albums.

it feels lovely and natural and effortless...

 

[jeevey]

Okay, deep breaths...

I'm listening on just one channel so the sound is not complete, and wouldn't you know that it's the bass end that's missing. The three seconds I heard before it went out were fucking awesome. Great job, Adam.

Really interesting extended intro that will have people saying, "Wait, I thought they said this was U2?" And we know where the other album they that did that went. Sounds like the first verse is the weaker, but the song really gathers steam. "There is no them" is totally working for me, though I need a bunch more listens to know how much I really love it. My one negative is that as I hear it, Bono sounds overly autotuned, taking out much of the texture of his voice and increasing the feeling of Chris Martin deja vu. But the good part of that is that he's singing melodically, not pushing too hard as he's sometimes done. It's going to be a great live track! Now to put on repeat again....

I'm glad I'm not the only one who was hearing a bit of The Killers here.

It has a bit of a Killers vibe indeed.

All those frozen days, and your frozen ways....they melt away, your face like snooowww!!

 

[68 and I'll owe you one]

The intro took me by surprise and after 2 listens I'm not sure about it ( the intro that is).....the rest is just what I was hoping for and gives me hope for the album. I'm curious as to how different the album version may prove to be, given this is the RED edit....hopefully we will see soon enough.

I can definitely hear the Killers influence here. Coldplay, not so much. Bono's singing sounds effortless, very melodic. I love that he's finally not trying to sing in a pitch that's too high for him. The beginning is strange, very dicso-like, the bridge with "There's no them, it's only us", though it's a Bono cliché, sounds lovely I like it a lot. And I can see it fitting its purpose here perfectly.

Makes it hard to wait for months for the album

The guitar at the end and even vocals are totally The Strokes

I think it's good. Sounds like a show opener -- a declaration of intent, audience participation, a commitment to be amazing.

I like the Bono-trademark "ambitious yearning" emotionalism of it, though as someone said, he's too high in the mix. Almost like he's singing over the track.

First reaction is always an emotional one, let's see how it goes the next few times through.

It reminds me smile a tiny wee bit? Great uplifting tune though!

Whoever said they wanted a U2 post punk album circa 1982 should be dancing right now.

 

[allbecauseofme]

Too me it sounds like a mix of The killers, Muse and the strokes!!!!

 

[U2BROTHR]

Euphoric!

Yeah, it reminds me a lot of the Bomb b-sides and unreleased tracks in general.

 

[joaoclaudiobh]

You know what, I think the band wants to observe the reaction of the fans around the world using this song to decide what will be the final mixes/versions of the new album...

 

[2861U2]

I'm very impressed.

Also, I got chills at the "I don't even think about you that much" line.

 

[Galeongirl]

Guys, I just put it on my old ipod.. and the title is actually INvisible (RED) Edit version.



So there is a different, original version out there somewhere?

 

[bono_212]

Is this the second time in a row now that iTunes has been the ones to "leak" new U2 material?

 

[purpleoscar]

Even like the treated vocal in the background "Invisible"

 

[bono_212]

Yeah, that part might be my favorite, actually. The very quiet build to it finally being him audibly saying "invisible"

Which one was the previous?

NLOTH got leaked by amazon australia I think. Or was it itunes Aus?

 

[Aleh_Hewson]

First time I heard, what came to my mind is "that's what Pop should've been": deep lyrics, stripped Bono soul, all together with produced and "catchy" melodies.

I don't know that now, but Everytime I hear the song, I like it more.

I think it's going to be very well received. Very well

Now I'm not sure. I thought it was Amazon, but it could have well been iTunes. It was Australia that I remember for sure.
