Exactly. Taking about people looking at this as a new U2 song and that's all. Not through the lens of detailed U2 history, having heard a couple different versions leading up to this one, knowing it was remixed multiple times, etc...
The positive reaction to it is nice to see, especially from some unexpected places
This song will sit well enough with most real U2 fans, the U2 haters will, well... hate it, and the casual fan or new listener will most likely really like it. That's a win at the end of the day.
And keep perspective. This is ONE song. The other two we've heard are not pop tunes and most likely the rest aren't either. I think we're in for a quality album.
