Rate The Song Series: An Cat Dubh/Into the Heart

[Irishteen]

The last round saw three Boy era songs be put up on trial here on Interference. The winner by a comfortable margin was Twilight which managed a rating of 6.91 enough to give it second place. Another Day managed 5.12 which is enough to place it in third, while Inside Out was given a poor 3.41 one putting it clearly in last place

[LemonMelon]

10 out of motherfucking 10. Best U2 song pre-TUF.

 

[Irishteen]

8, a great atmospheric song that showed the band playing to strengths they hadn't even realised they had yet

5. My least favorite song on Boy. I like the beginning but An Cat Dubh but Into the Heart is a bit too slow for me.

Can't believe I was the only person who gave Twilight a 10 ... or that Inside Out didn't get totally trashed.

Anyway, ACD/ITH gets a 9 from me. It's truly excellent stuff, one of the highlights of the album.

Easy 9. Probably closer to 9.5, but I only wanna give 10's to the truly big guns. Absolutely breathtaking song. Hard to define my favourite track of BoY, but it's between this and A Day Without Me.

6. I like the song(s), don't get me wrong. However, it/they read(s) as one giant promise to me, a promise that slowly fulfilled itself between TUF and NLOTH, but that didn't fulfill itself right then and there. And I'm voting for songs as impartially as possible... against some of my favorites (Lemon, Please, Bad, MOS, UC, Streets, One, at the like), I can't give ACD/ITH more than a 6.

I like every song that's a five or above, generally.

9. Of all the U2 songs, these might be the ones that have grown on me the most. Great stuff.

 

[mikal]

[cobl04]

10 out of motherfucking 10. Best U2 song pre-TUF.

10 for me too, though electric co is better

shattered i missed another day, would have thrown a 9 its way..

 

[An Cat Gav]

10 out of 10, obvioulsy given my interference name.

[Axver]

Wow, I'm impressed how well ACD/ITH is doing. Wish Twilight had got this level of love.

Alone in the Light is already down to have a round, there's just a hell of a lot of demos from this era
