The Fly
Every first single that I've heard from U2 from each of their albums, I've been dissappointed after the first listen but after repeated listens I have always loved. Vertigo is no different. The first time I heard it I said Bono's voice is finished he sounds weak and the instruments are a mess with no direction. Then I heard it another 6 or 7 times. It rocks. This song is gonna sound great live. For those of you who haven't heard it, it isn't U2 trying out anything new. There were a few times in the song that I said wait a minute I heard that sound somewhere else. Following is five of those times:
1. 0:09, 0:53, 1:42, 2:52 Pearl Jam's Spin the Black Circle
2. 1:13 Wire from Unforgettable Fire
3. 1:57 Three Sunrises from Wide Awake in America
4. 2:12 I Will Follow
5. 1:45 U2's version of Won't Get Fooled Again at Irving Plaza right before Elevation 2001
