I'm sorry but I can't give it other vote than 10.

I love zooropa and I absolutely ADORE this song. The video probably has something to do with it, but I just love it. The Edge's voice

The Fat Lady! The Fat Lady!

i gave it a 9 just because i love Lemon, Zooropa and Stay just a little more.

I find this one hard to assign a cold, mathematical number to, but I scored it '8'. That is, about a typical-quality U2 song, but since it's really unique, I love when Edge 'vocalizes', and the guitar sound is awesome, I bump from 7 to 8.

10. Took me a very long time to get into this, years in fact. They've never done anything like this before or since.

nice song

 

[powerhour24]

8, super different and awesome, but on an album with the likes of Zooropa and Stay, its 2nd tier.

Is this honestly the last time we've had an Edge lead vocal though? Sad. 'Van Diemen's Land' ...

8. It's a really cold song but somehow it's brilliant!

 

[LemonMelon]

Finally, this thread serves some purpose:

I like Numb well enough. I always appreciate a good hook, and Numb is a bit bland melodically, but it's a great concept and there are a number of ear-catching production flourishes.

It's one of my least favorite songs on my third favorite album of all time.

So, 7/10.

10! absolutely brilliant...mumbling actionscript & the finest electronic riffs. even the falsetto is just great. clearly inspired by kraftwerk.

Here here, inspired by Kraftwerk, one of the best band's that you could be inspired by, they're the band I obsess about most, after U2 of course!!

Until Sexy Boots reared its ugly head, this one was the most underwhelming 1st single they had released. It has its moments, but leaves me pretty much indifferent.

gave it a 7. i love the falsetto, and if you know all or most of the words it's great fun to sing along to

 

[Saracene]

8. It's a unique track in their discography, Edge's monotone vocal suits it very well, and the video is very entertaining

 

[intedomine]

I have the utmost respect of the song as part of the broader U2 discography and history, but I just don't enjoy listening to it that much, and very rarely go out of my way to listen to it as and individual song.

8. It's great, I don't think you can find any negative about Edge rapping. Enjoy it immensely. Respect.

[The Sad Punk]

I admire the bravery of its single release, but ultimately it doesn't do much for me, so it gets a 5.

 

[SpaceBoy]

Gave it an 8. It's got some really fantastic sounds and I love Edge's vocal. The keyboard buildup section in the middle is great as well.

 

[gman]

gave it an 8. A great song from back in the day when they experimented
