Hola amigos 
well, I know since now every fan will say "hola" instead "Hello" !!!! 
I want to hear your voices and read your lines my friends, so waiting for a new single is finish...what´re your feelings ?? do you FEEEEEEEL this song or not ?? from 1 to 10, which rate is yours for this song ?? etc, say everything related with this new song here !!!!
Here I go:
"Vertigo":
Running Time: 3'11 ( at least the version we have, we don´t know yet if an edit version or is the same album version )
Radio Released: 23 September 2004
Rate: 9/10
My coments: My friends, I was checking U2´s first singles from each album, and those songs are:
1- Out Of Control ( U2 3 ) : 9/10
2- Fire : 8/10
3- New Year´s Day :10/10
4- Pride ( in the name of love ) :10/10
5- With Or Without You :10/10
6- Desire :10/10
7- The Fly :10/10
8- Lemon : 8/10
9- Discotheque :10/10
10- Beautiful Day :5/10
11- Vertigo :9/10
most of these songs are U2 classics, except for Fire. The other ones, especially "New Year´s Day", "Pride" and "With Or Without You" are top 10 U2 songs. The sound of Vertigo remains me to some extent "Discotheque" in many aspects, distorded background, guitars, etc. At least is the most similar single to Vertigo, if you check this list. It´s a short song ( but well we don´t know if is the full version yet
). Without a doubt is a Rock song, something usual since Desire, with a break on "Lemon". The most clear exception is "With or Without You"... and Joshua Tree was the biggest U2 smash ever...
The main riff and chorus domains the whole song, with several guitars on both speakers. The first part is the main riff, after Larry´s sticks counting and Bono´s counting "un, dos, tres, catorce" ( I have to say Bono´s doesn´t say "un" actually, but I think he just failed in saying "UNO" in proper Spanish, that´s all. I know several fans will try to find the language of the first number, since is not Spanish. The rythym section is well presented in this song, and when Bono starts to sing just the bass give the riff, with Edge´s guitar ( left speaker ) giving rythym but no chords. The chorus is something like "Boy" era, with many voices giving energy, GREAT
and saying ( again ) another Spanish word "Hola" ( Hello ). After the chorus, there´s a classic Edge´s guitar giving another notes. The bridge remains me The Who ( I´m talking before solo part ). The solo is short but effective, GREAT. then a mysterious part, a short break before last chorus, the most distorded of all.
Bono´s voice ? : Sounds better than "Beautiful Day" and a little better than "Electrical Storm". Don´t expect another "Pride ( in the name of love )", Bono was 20 years younger then !!!!. You can easily realize Bono´s voice won´t come back to Lovetown nor Zoo TV tour. Probably will sound very similar with Elevation Tour.
Edge´s guitar ?: The closest guitars to "Pop" I´ve ever heard since those days, very distorded, except for moments in which he plays a more "Classic" Edge sound, very similar guitar to "Wire" ( don´t you think ???? ) and after the solo he gives some harmonics that remains me "Unforgettable Fire", but the whole section on that part remains me "War". maybe he´s giving us real clues about this album, something strong, agressive, but, without leaving all behind ( "Pop" and "The Unforgettable Fire" sounds)
Larry´s drums ?: very present here, specially during verses. He doesn´t use the Hi-Hat during verses, but then he uses cymbals and Hi-hat at the chorus, giving a cool arrangment.
Adam´s bass ?: sounds a mix between "New Year´s Day" and "Elevation".
I don´t really know what's going to happen with this song. Is far better than first listening of "Beautiful Day", but is not better than "With Or Without You" or "Pride ( in the name of love )" first listening
